I'd like to try to head off any people criticizing the DIAA point system by saying the state's seeding system always seems wrong and unfair until the last week or two of the season. At that point, the rankings are generally accurate - a few teams usually end up a lot higher than they should be (DMA in the last few years) and good teams sometimes are left out (St. Andrew's several times in a row a few years ago). It's easy to see that Laxpower.com's rankings are usually closer to the true standings within the state, but the DIAA will not use it because they are afraid of teams running up scores in order to improve their seed, as Laxpower rewards teams for greater goal differentials.
