Class 4A girls' basketball: a possible sample bracket?

Ron Haggstrom's plan would seed every 4A team in the state regardless of section and have them play in a single-elimination tournament, with the final eight going to state. His plan takes geography into account, but features an eye toward avoiding the kind of section match-ups that sometimes are better than what takes place at the state tournament.
