You're missing a district in your district listings. You have Carlisle as an at-large from D-7 when they're in D-8, and your D-8 qualifiers are actually D-9.

Your brackets, though, look okay (you apparently have Norwalk winning D-8 with Carlisle as an at-large, which makes sense).

As far as seeding goes, I think Dallas Center-Grimes will have the lowest RPI of the district winners, which means they'd have to travel for round one with Pella hosting. I guess there might be some scenarios where North Scott ends up in that position, too ... but unless Pella ends up 6-3 (which means they probably lose the district title anyway) I don't think Pella will be on the road in the first round.

I put in the district 8 in first post. I had it on my paper just got ahead of myself. You very well could be right but right now DC-G has the higher RPI but time will tell. My district winners Pella has the highest RPI, but will be interesting with DC-G, Pella, and North Scott. It wouldn't shock me if Carroll or Oskaloosa pulled off wins against them.
