Week 2 playoffs games moved
- Thread starter Hon Dines
- Start date
Am I the only one who sees the weather on Thursday? It’s going to rain all night Thursday, starting in the late afternoon. I don’t get moving games to Thursday.
Once they start playing the fields won’t be as bad Thursday because it would have just started. That’s better than playing after it’s rained the day before and while playing Friday.
Yeah I see your point, however I see several teams who have turf changing their games. Rain doesn’t affect turf fields like it does grass.
I was speaking for the one’s with grass but I agree with you about the one’s with turf.
I mentioned earlier somewhere, they should've considered moving games to Saturday. Is there a rule stating they couldn't, that you had to have so many days between playoff games?
I believe you can play on Saturday, never seen any rule about that just for playoffs.
Mt Tabor refused to play East Forsyth on Thursday and Tabor requested Saturday, that was denied by East Forsyth who said we'll just play Friday Night. I see both sides of the argument.
It looks like tonight(Thursday) will be the worst night with rain and high wind... Friday night may be okay, Saturday looks great.
Gate attendance might be a factor because many people have other things to do on Saturday but Thursday/Friday in the rain will hurt gate attendance as well; so that kinda equals out.
Some coaches feel they can slow down a faster team who might throw a lot(in windy conditions) as the underdog team. These schools and coaches are weighing everything and every option.
I don't blame Tabor or any school who are trying everything to gain an advantage and win a game. It's football and it is played in the elements.

The Panthers have a Thursday night game tonight against the Falcons here in Charlotte. So we can watch a miserable team in miserable weather. What a combination!
Most coaches dont want to play Saturday, as it gives you one less day to prepare forround 2. In addition, if your opponent plays on Thursday, now they can go wtch you on Friday and also have 2 extra days to repair and recover. Especially if youre the favorite, moving to Thursday makes much more sense.
If you move it to Thursday and it rains, you still have a chance to play Friday then Saturday. You dont want to NOT move the game,then watch it not rain thursday, have to play saturday, and your opponent be sitting back resting and waiting on you.
Moving to Thursday in a week where there is such a huge chance of bad weather on friday is a no brainer. Also, sometimes counties panic and cancel all activities. When that happens, no game and no practice. So NOT moving games to thursday this week makes ZERO sense.

So a team being able to watch their opponent on Friday could be a problem. Is that why East Forsyth has their first round playoff game blacked out on NFHS until 12/18/22. So far, it's the only school I've seen do that.
They’ve done it all season right after the games go off. It doesn’t make sense to me because teams you play will get to watch film of your team.
That’s dumb. Opponents get your film anyway.
