Here is a suggestion. Add a week to the playoffs, and let everyone in. Soccer is a "contact" sport according to the SCHSL (basketball is not), so why does soccer play 3 games in a week. Play for 3 weeks, give the top 16 teams a first round bye. SCHSL makes money on gate. Reseed upperstate and lower state by voting (yes coaches get together and vote). Seeds get to place themselves in order by seed wherever they want. Home team is on top line (even if there is an upset). When you get down to 4 teams. They play at neutral sites. State final rotates between coast, midlands and upperstate. It works very well in other states and since the SCHSL can't figure out 6 teams in each region it eliminates a 3 seed from going to wando in the first round instead of playing a 2 seed.
