While I agree that seeding rather than pre-bracketed playoffs is best for determining matchups, that change would not alleviate the physical demands of playing three games in five days for our first three rounds of playoffs. The proposed change would more closely resemble what our teams experience during the regular season: Two days between weekday matches. The only extended break would be between the semi-finals and finals.
As far as club goes… the proposed change would only extend the season by one week for the top two teams (finalist) in each classification; so there wouldn’t be 32 teams combating club tryouts vs. high school training. When looking at attending a tryout vs. preparing for a State Title, I wouldn’t think there would be much of a decision to be made.
