3 regions but only two byes. Not so fast...
Hurst, 18 and one tourney (23 games + 5) or 16 and two (26 + 5)...oh and it's four scrimmages. But only the best and deepest make it that far and so that's the minority, not the majority. A coach, who thinks his team has a chance, should be smart enough not to wear out his players with too much action. Take a tourney off or, like Ft. Mill was smart enough to do, a few reg season games. Under the top four then seeding, reg's would be more valuable so a break from a tourney might be best. You know, as I, that it's the maximum allowed, not the minimum required.
CR, I haven't found out why the change was made, other than it was introduced as the regions expanded. 10 play with 2 resting, but now 16 with no break.
