For example if you have 12, 15, 16 teams put an equal amount in 3 to 4 groups of 4 or 5 teams? This would help provide better seeding. Example 12 teams would have 3 groups of 4 teams and after Pool Play you would have 3 - #1 seeds and so on and be able to spread the teams out better in which case teams who play each other in pool play would start out against each other in the bracket round. You would have 1A, 1B, 1C and so on for the teams in those groups instead of one big group. |

But one thing I do not like is having to play the same teams you play in league or other events in your area, through the year. I think it would be better if you played a team out of your region, someone different. Basically, some, but not many, are still used as sandbagger games. ** they keep trying to 'fix' something that wasn't broke. You want examples, ok PPR, (more than 2 times) & Flip flop. So where do you put on these events you say you do? |

All same ages bracket & presume and they same playing level, so why not mix it upand play different teams. When you start moving teams with different ages and ratings into different brackets to play you change the make up of the gamesand the outcomes. you can read post all over the place about concerns for havinh yo play up or down and maybe a t different level bucause thids or that happened or a tram pulled out. Asking a team yo play up or down with or without a different rating is one thing but it seems to be many are just placed there to see what happens. |
