Where the mixing finally matters
The league holds no tournament of its own. The association runs in-season tournaments and the state tournament, bracketed by classification.
Which is where these nine separate. Bird Island, Raymond and the two Willmar sides go into Class B; Granite Falls, Marshall, Milroy, Sacred Heart and Wabasso into Class C.
They spend the summer playing each other and finish it in two different competitions, which makes the league table an odd document: it ranks clubs who will never meet again that year.
High Cheese builds and runs a bracket seeded off the standings a league already keeps.
