SC Soccer Forums SCSoccer.com Forums Girls Varsity Soccer AAAA Upper State Bracket (Old School)

I have no pratice, awards taken care of, goals put away, jersey's clean...sigh.

Way too much time on your hands now....

...and also when I heard stories about disgruntled fans that have since recovered

1) The page looks funny with so many of your avatar in a row

2) Isn't it weird when coaching seasons are over and you have TIME???

W&E if you can sell the SCHSL that this system would also work for boys football playoffs (and it would.) We could see it happen!

This is what we used to use in 2002 and before in soccer. Football currently uses it! I don't know why we got away from it, but I like it!

P&Y, yes it does look funny and yes I do feel funny. All this time...but I still refuse to mow the grass at home!

But, based on W&Es Old School formula, four teams from each region would not be guaranteed a place (As was calculated on this thread), only the top 16 teams in the upperstate would make the playoffs based on points. Meaning Westside, with 51 points, would be in, and schools not scheduling a full slate, would be out.

Just fun to watch people do the math, then add to it. There may be other teams, like North Augusta that would make it over a team included in the playoffs this year.

If you look real hard.....Fort Mill might be out!

But if the system was implemented i'm sure Fort Mill would adjust their schedule, which would change everything. I just think this is the best way to go. The best 16 from each half of the state get in. Period.
Maybe a compromise would be easier for the high school league to swallow.
1) All region champs get in and are seeded 1-4 in the upper state and lower state, then the best 12 remaining in each half of the state get seeded 5-16.
2) The top 2 teams from each region get in, then the rest get in on points.

Just some thoughts. But I think we all agree. Something needs to change, for the quality of the game.
