call it bracketbuster & play on saturdays if travel time is needed.



You want to open up Saturday for high school play? I have a better idea. FA Cup-like tournament involving the top 16 4A, top 10 3A and the top 6 2A/1A/SCISA teams. Increasing the number from 32 to 64 would only add another week, so why not expand the field.

Draw the names out of a hat each week, first team selected is the home team. Play the matches on Saturday. Start the second weekend in March and take a week or two off for spring breaks. Single elimination, no seeding.

Pro's - David vs. Goliath, blind draw, competitive matches at the end of the season
Con's - David vs. Goliath, tournament conflicts, "Hilton Head vs. Clover"

Kids play sports because they find it fun. Eliminate the fun and soon you eliminate the kid.
