I'm not sure that there was a District 27, as that would have implied that there was a Tennessee-only district. But there were playoffs that involved teams from AL, MS and TN before 1951. I don't know how you would handle this Jon, but I think there should be a combined District 19-27 slot for 1951. [[User:Howard|Howard]], 19:23, 24 December 2011 (UTC)

I'm not sure that there was a District 27, as that would have implied that there was a Tennessee-only district. But there were playoffs that involved teams from AL, MS and TN before 1951. I don't know how you would handle this Jon, but I think there should be a combined District 19-27 slot for 1951. Howard, 19:23, 24 December 2011 (UTC)

      • Yeah, I don't know. Great point. The real hitch in the mechanism is that all three districts were represented in 1952, but 24 disappeared for a year in '53.
