novice/senior finals?

[big"er" time coach]

Watching the final matches on the internet, I wish I could have been there. Some of the finals shouldnt have been the final match from what I saw. I saw some lop sided brackets with state champs getting knocked out. Is the brackets set up like this on purpose? ( a tough side and a weak side) One of my sons team friends was in the 115 novice and got knocked out.(he has beat alot of the kids on the otherside). Then the finals match(no offence to the kids). I looked like the one kid just totally dominated the match....Can the brackets be more balanced some how?
