Yeah when they reduced the field from 8 to 4 champions they kept the same amount of teams that make the playoffs. So we lost a regular season game and added a round to the playoffs.I stopped following HS F for about 6-7 years only came back recently but am I remembering it wrong that it was 4 rounds and then state? So it’s 5 rounds and states now?
And I’m sure in 25-26 when they go to 7 classes it will be back to the 4 rounds and then states because the NCHSAA isn’t happy unless they can make changes to somethingYeah when they reduced the field from 8 to 4 champions they kept the same amount of teams that make the playoffs.

It’s funny you say that, I thought last week was regional final week. You are correct too many rounds. Still had 2 more rounds after last week.I listened to an interview Joey Robinson gave on Asheville radio a couple of weeks ago. He came out pretty strong in favor of cutting that extra week out. Players are playing another half season if they make it to the finals. Keeping in mind that MH is a 1A school, I get his point.
I'm trying to remember how often the regionals were ever during the week of Thanksgiving. Looking back, we made it to the 2nd round in 1979 and 1980. In 1979, the 2nd round game was the day after Thanksgiving (11/22) but in 1980, the 3rd round (regional) was that week (11/27). I realize that Thanksgiving is based on how many Thursdays are in a given November but I assume we started a week earlier in '80 too.It’s funny you say that, I thought last week was regional final week.

The issue was not the number of teams that qualified for the playoffs but the predetermined playoff berths per conference.Playoffs are perfect right now…I like it because we are not leaving out a 9-1 team from a conference that had a 3 way tie at the top…That use to happen a lot back in the 80s if a conference only had 2 bids…Somebody was sitting at home after a drawing on Saturday morning at the Waffle House…
We played a team twice our size in the playoffs this yearYou wouldn't like it if you had to play teams 2x and 3x larger like we do.
This whole deal with free lunches factoring into classification was hot garbage. I understand shooting for equity, but this was not a successful attempt at it.West Charlotte
What I like and fairness are two different things. To make it equitable for all I like four classes with 1A and 4A having less than half as many teams as 2A and 3A. Subdivide 2A and 3A for all team sports.You wouldn't like it if you had to play teams 2x and 3x larger like we do.
I can go with most of that, maybe add a class or two.The issue was not the number of teams that qualified for the playoffs but the predetermined playoff berths per conference.
I like:
Ten games in eleven weeks like the old days.
Four classifications with no subdividing.
MaxPreps computer poll with modified margin of victory.
32 team / five round playoff. Reward teams for a successful regular season.
How would you go about that? You don't want a team in the mountains to play a team on the coast in the first round of the playoffs.I hope and pray we get rid of the east-west format
Give me some numbers. What percentage would be 1a?What I like and fairness are two different things. To make it equitable for all I like four classes with 1A and 4A having less than half as many teams as 2A and 3A. Subdivide 2A and 3A for all team sports.
