Seeding Games
This is for the SSUSA staff and coaches, I understand the seeding game process. But why not reward the teams for playing hard by not only the placing and times that is received, but also include home team for the higher seeded team through out the bracket play.

Flipping a coin is just luck, sometime you have it, sometimes you don't. Also would speed up time.

I believe other associasions give this advantage for being a higher seed. Just my 2 cents.

The SSUSA Rules Committee considered this topic during their most recent sessions at the 2014 Annual Convention in Tupelo, MS, in December ... Although there was some discussion for potential change, the matter did not make the Agenda due to the lack of a formal motion for consideration (or a second) ... The following items are from the list (page 4 of the Official Minutes, available herein) of other matters discussed in open sessions but not ultimately acted upon ...

13. Allow the higher seeded team to elect Home/Visitor status in all bracket games;
14. Allow the unbeaten team to elect Home/Visitor status in the Championship Game #1;
15. Reverse automatically the Home/Visitor status in any “If” game after the Championship game;
