Win-less Teams in the Playoffs
« on: November 11, 2019, 09:52:28 AM »
There are several 0-10 teams in the playoffs.  The one that jumped out at me is Sudan 10-0 vs Iraan 0-10.  Yikes!

Yeah.... personally I am OK with that.  I would rather more in than less.  Last year or the year before, a 3-7 Whitesboro team went 3 or 4 rounds deep.

I come from the era where only 1 team and then 2 teams from each district made the playoffs.  So the more the merrier.

When you have 4 team districts and four go to the playoffs.  hEaDbAnG

Few years ago a Houston district was 5 teams, one school was shut down leaving Scarborough 0-10 going to the playoff ending up 0-11.

Indiana is not only an all-in tournament, but also who you play and where you play (within defined Sectionals) is a random draw. So that 0-9 team could be hosting a 9-0 team. And a first round game could have two 0-9 teams playing or two 9-0 teams. It seems every year the #1 and #2 team in a class is playing in the first round. As you advance the home team is determined by who has hosted the least. If they've hosted the same it defaults to the top or bottom of the bracket depending on class.

Craziest system I've ever heard of.

Same here. My senior year we had an 8-team district, with only 2 advancing.

"Back in the day" we had 6 or more in each district with only the district champ moving on!

So these days, a coach/team can rest or coast through a couple of district games and be primed for the playoffs as a 2nd or 3rd seed.

1981 for me.  We only had one team advance then, but it was changed a year or two later where they took the top 2.

In Indiana you can rest your team for the entire season and just focus on the tournament. All in with random draw pairings.
