Has anyone, whether you're a team manager or through a team manager or coach, contacted a tournament and requested a change in the bracket placement? Some think don't even bother with it, but wonder if any pro-activeness has bore fruit for any of you.

For a regular tournament?? When i was TM I have had a coach asked me to do it and it has been done. Also some coaches will call too, it is doable and it happens

Yep. Happens all the time.
Last thing tourneys want is mis-seeding teams and having them in the wrong bracket.

Yep. Happens all the time. Last thing tourneys want is mis-seeding teams and having them in the wrong bracket. I did it as TM. We knew a couple of kids would be not available and would have gotten crushed with those players out. They dropped us to a lower division where we were able to be competitive. I have seen teams ask to be in the bottom though just to win. TM admitted that the coach did it. I still think asking is the right thing most of the time and they will usually accommodate if they can.

Happens all the time, I have been able to move our team 2 different occasions. One time they wanted us to play up an age division due to our ranking yet we argued we only applied to their tournament for our age division and they finally conceded.
