In a previous "If I Was King of Sports" post, I said that I would like to see a high school basketball tournament consisting of an open-division with 64 teams. Here is what the 2014-2015 preseason tournament would look like if they actually did it.
With realignment, this would be the rare year that leagues could have more than one team host part 1 of the tournament, if a team coming in won its previous league. Like always, teams in the same league cannot be in the same bracket, unless the league has nine or ten teams.
The leagues the teams represent are leagues coming in. (Note: For the #1 seeds, the 1st league will be the league they won the previous year, and the 2nd league will be the leagues they are entering.) The records are from the previous year prior to the section playoffs.

Last 4 in the two-part tournament: Orestimba, Hilmar, Los Banos, Enochs
First 4 out of the two-part tournament: Dos Palos, Waterford, Denair, Edison
All teams in the two-part tournament would advance to part II at a neutral site. Where that site would be would depend on how they finished in part I.
Non-advancing brackets
Again, if I had my way, these teams would play in a one-part tournament just so they would have games to play. Teams in the same league would be allowed to be in the same bracket.
Bracket I- Host: Dos Palos Broncos
(8) Stone Ridge Christian-Merced (CCAA) 1-25 vs. (1) Dos Palos (WSL) 5-12
(5) Gustine (SL) 2-22 vs. (4) Buhach Colony-Atwater (CCC) 5-22
(6) McNair-Stockton (TCAL) 1-24 vs. (3) Bret Harte-Angels Camp (MLL) 5-20
(7) Downey-Modesto (MMC) 1-23 vs. (2) Denair (SL) 7-18
Bracket J- Host: Waterford Tigers
(8) Mountain Oaks-San Andreas (MVL) 0-14 vs. (1) Waterford (SL) 7-18
(5) Venture Academy-Stockton (CCAA) 1-16 vs. (4) Modesto (MMC) 4-20
(6) Franklin-Stockton (SJAA) 1-25 vs. (3) Tioga-Groveland (MVL) 4-16
(7) Galt (SVC) 1-21 vs. (2) Edison-Stockton (TCAL) 6-20
Bracket K- Host: El Capitan Gauchos (Merced)
Mountain House (TVL) new school (TVL) vs. El Capitan-Merced (WAC) new school
(Note: El Capitan would be allowed to invite JV schools in the Merced-area if it wants a tournament.)
This tournament would never happen, but it would be nice to see who really is the best team in the 209.
