[Agibbs757]

Looks real from the vhsl but all I know is that odu will definitely be packed out for the 5 and 6 games

I think it's a change for this year.

 

[EPJr]

I think it's a change for this year.

the fair thing to do is to alternate.

 

[OCBoy]

Next thing to do is rotate the matchups in the semifinals

 

[HooSprings]

You can’t have D6 playing D1! You can’t have D5 playing D2!

 

[OCBoy]

You can’t have D6 playing D1! You can’t have D5 playing D2!

Umm that is not what I am talking about. I am talking about how A/B and C/D matchup yearly. 🤔

don't think A/D would be fair travel wise

Franklin county had to drive to Western branch in the first round of the playoffs so I don’t think the travel would be an issue! Especially if you flip it the following year.

and you think the other regions would go for this?

 

[SFUWO]

don't think A/D would be fair travel wise

Yeah. The winner of the Kings Fork game would have to travel to Salem or Danville next week. According to Google maps that's a 4h and 14 minute drive to Salem for Kings Fork and another 3Hr drive to Danville

 

[HooSprings]

Yeah. The winner of the Kings Fork game would have to travel to Salem or Danville next week. According to Google maps that's a 4h and 14 minute drive to Salem for Kings Fork and another possible 4hr drive to Danville. If you take 58 says just over 3 hrs

How far was it of a drive from William Fleming to Stonebridge last year?

 

[SFUWO]

How far was it of a drive from William Fleming to Stonebridge last year?

3hr and 20 m trip for SB. Franklin county had to travel over 4 Hrs to play Landsdown in VA beach in 2019. FC is located far West of most C6 teams

 

[SFUWO]

If Broad Run and Danville win today. One team will be going for a 4 Hr road trip as well

 

[SBOEDog]

It was about a 3.5 hour trip for Stone Bridge to travel to Roanoke in the spring to play Fleming.

So with the amount of travel that has to be done, eventually, regardless, it shouldn’t matter. Every two years it should rotate with each year,one region having to travel to the other. A should travel to B,and then the following year B travel to A. After those two have made their return trip, A should travel to C the next year. And so on

That’s how they used to do it before they change the playoffs system. I prefer the old way.

In regular season rotating matches makes since. Not a big fan of it in playoffs. Higher seed should host.

In C4 they didn't switch the regions like hoospring mentioned. I personally don't like the idea of having the regions rotate but in the end it doesn't really matter. The best teams are usually the same. Just different matchups. Now they did switch home field from one region to the other but the regions always played the same region.

 

[OCBoy]

don't think A/D would be fair travel wise

It’s the semifinals. Throw that travel reasoning out the window. A/D is no different than C/D or even some of the northern B teams

The easiest way is to keep it simple across all divisions. The best team will win state weather it's from A,B,C or D in all 6 classes

You gotta spice it up a bit. It’s fun to play a different region every year.

 

[Hampton Roads 6]

VHSL loves rematches. I am glad they switched game times.

 

[VolNation85]

It would be a long trip for some schools but it's the best option if VHSL really wants to get the closest to the best team winning the championship.

Come playoff time, VHSL should do what's right
