PLAYOFF FORMAT?
- Thread starter MT FAN 91
- Start date
I have been wondering about this too. Of course the Regional playoffs will be based on seeding, with higher point totals getting to host games. That much is a given.
But the question I have is whether the semi-finals and finals have already been pre-planned or will that too be based on point totals? For example, in both boys and girls basketball, correct me if I am wrong, but Region B traveled to Region A, and Region C traveled to Region D for the semi-finals. Then in the finals, the teams that survived the C/D match-ups got to host the championship games. So will that be the way football will be handled?
In a perfect world, the state finals would be held in Salem as always for Classes 1 and 2, but I believe I have heard already that won't happen.

This is what I just pulled from the VHSL site.

It says that, but then if you click on brackets and go to 1A, it says what I mentioned above
Could be but if I remember correctly it has said that before in the recent past and it was still hosted by the higher seed. Doesn’t matter to me either way since I don’t have a child on the team to get a ticket. I will be stuck at home watching on TV like countless thousands of other HS football fans.
Same here. I'm not on a coaching staff this year, so I'll be stuck watching online too.
Question is do you want your team to have to travel when they have a better rating? I certainly do not think that is right.
Absolutely not but it wouldn’t shock me if that’s the way it goes now.
maybe just maybe by then we can watch them live, instead of on tv, but least they are having football, so we have to be thankful for that, it had been a long 14 months, me and pops were having rhs football withdraws
With all the strides being made in the vaccination process, I cannot IMAGINE the rules still being as strict by that time as they are now.
sold out like the green monster seats at Fenway, u and pops are scared of heights so that would not work
