35 Open teams (27 in VA, 8 in MD)
top 16 = "A" playoffs
next 16 = "B" playoffs
bottom 3 + 13 Novice teams = 16 = "C" playoffs.

so

so basically everyone in C is in the playoffs plus the bottom 3 of the open? that should be interesting in the post-season

the top C teams should demolish the bottom 3 open teams

if that`s the case, why are the top C teams in the novice league??

Division standings matter?

Top 16, regardless of Division standings? That is, aside from the mathmatical impossibility of not having the division winners qualify, do any of the division runner-ups, or tertiary positions, automatically qualify?

I`m sure a team in D-IAA like Delaware or Georgia Southern would think it was a big lottery win for the playoffs if their first round opponent in the D-IAA playoffs was a team from D-I having an off year like Purdue or Illinois. Not sure that system makes much sense. Better to provide byes for the top finishers of the C division and leave the last 3 A&B league teams out of the playoffs so that they can reconsider their league placement next season.

umm...Illinois went to the Rose Bowl this past year. wouldn`t call that an off year. Also, MOST of the time...lower DI-A schools (like Buffalo) beat great DI-AA schools (Like Delaware). The App States of the world don`t happen that much, that`s why it was such a big deal.

Thanks for making my point for me at the end of your post knucklehead. "Lower D-1A" schools (the last 3 teams from A & B) "beat great D1-AA schools" (#1 & #2 seeds from C division) most of the time. So why would you want to have C-Division teams have to play A & B division teams in the playoffs. Or don`t you get that?
| |

wow
Mar 26, 2008

because this isnt College football. the worst A teams are usually worse than the top B teams. and the worst B teams are usually worse than the top C teams. when Tom put up his post...it said THIS IS HOW ITS GONNA BE. not, ANY SUGGESTIONS?? so just shut up and play football. stop worrying about the playoff format, throwin out your "great ideas" cuz its not gonna change

You think Tom really makes money off this ish? He does this for the love of the game. Every year some clown talks about how they think he`s raping teams with these fees when he only charges whats necessary to run the league. If you are struggling to pay the dues for this REC league then check your priorities.

It`s amazing how you can jump from my last thread to assuming someone is "struggling to pay the Rec league dues." I guess dumbass is an appropriate moniker for yourself.
By the way I`m sure Tom is a charity worker. Just like you show up to work every day because you love your job. My point is that Tom`s playoff system for C league is ass and he should be held accountable for it. I`ve been playing in rec leagues for over 20 years in Arlington, Rockville, Gaithersburg, D.C. and Fairfax. I have never had a first round match up where a team from a different division drops down into a lower division. Check as to why the NBA adopted the lottery system for a better explanation for not rewarding the worst teams in the leagues.

the worst A or B teams should not drop down and compete against C teams in the post season. period.
the C teams compete all year and jockey for position amongst each other, only to have a team from the experienced division enter their post season bracket? makes no sense. if you`re a terrible A or B team, wait til next year and sign up for the C league.

Look realisticly. The teams dropping down aren`t going to be an A team, period. It will be most likely one of your sorry bummm C teams that moved up and got spanked because C is not OPEN.
Also if you`ve played this league in the past you would know 17th ranked A team isn`t the number 1 in B, there is a new lottery for B playoffs. So the Scrubbass 33-35 will be the same way. If i`m not mistaken doesn`t C-leagures think they can beat anyone ??? whats the problem ... are ya`ll SCURRRREDDDDDD

Chances are...the teams that drop down to the C-League playoff are gonna be teams that were in the C-League last season, or a couple seasons back. So there shouldn`t be any reason why C-league championship contending teams would be unfairly matched against them.
And like Grip said above, just because you`re ranked 17th in A, doesn`t mean you`re 1 in B. So last in B, doesn`t necessarily mean you`re 1 in C.

Lets see if I can explain where we`re coming from with this...
I hate having to force teams who might not be ready - to move up to Open, but its part of our league policy.
A case can be made that some teams moved up last Fall and this Spring are not superior (or at least significantly superior) to some teams who remained in Novice.
Some brand new teams who register for Open may be more suited to Novice, but that is their perogative. Some brand new teams gel really fast and take off. The Coyotes started playing in the weeknight Fall "A" league in 2005, and went 4-5, then 5-4 the following year, and 7-2 last Fall. They are the exception - not the rule.
There are two formerly Open teams playing in Novice right now, because after seeing where their team was and where they needed to be they decided to step back for a season and regroup. The is also one new team in Novice this Spring who registered for Open but dropped to Novice after I requested a volunteer to do so to make the numbers work in Open.
In the past, those new teams who fared poorly in Open would play in the B end-of-season playoffs, so that they are not matched against the same teams who beat them 35-0 in the regular season.
Recently, the B playoffs have become more competitive and challenging than in the past. There will be a few more "A" calibre teams that will not make the cut and wind up in "B".
No 0-? Open team has ever won a B playoff game as far as I know (unless they were playing another 0-?).
In the postseason, the difference between the lowest ranked "B" team and the highest ranked "B" team is much greater than the difference between any two Novice teams.
We have 48 teams total - 3 brackets of 16, which is perfect for scheduling. This is the way everything worked out.
I could have forced three more new Open teams down to Novice to make Novice 2 divisions of 8, and a perfect 16. BUT, what if those new teams I forced down turned out to be better than some teams in Open?
Which brings me to the the $1,000,000.00 question:
As a current Novice team, would you have wanted me to force three brand new teams who opted for Open into Novice at the beginning of the season? or would you rather have the worst 3 teams In Open drop down for the C playoffs after the season?

Tom, I think its a great idea. Plus a lot of the Novice teams want to run their mouth and say that they able to compete with open teams. This is the perfect way to find out if any Novice team is ready to compete in open. My only question about the Novice playoffs is how are you going to seed the Open teams moving down to novice for the playoffs?

how are you going to seed the Open teams moving down to novice for the playoffs
probably 8, 9, 10 (so 2 of them will play each other anyhow).

8, 9, 10 makes sense - especially if 2 play head to head first round or something.

You could run your mouth to open teams that drop down, but how do you figure you can compete by beating the 3 worst teams in open who should have been in novice? That is why they will be playing with you, because they had no chance in open.

I have not been running my mouth cause i dont know where our team stands. But alot of other teams run their mouth about being able to compete with the open. This would show it because, if one of the three open teams come down and win the Novice Playoffs, then obviously NONE of the Novice teams are prepared to jump up to open. Artard!

How about this for an answer? Why not give eveyone a chance to play in the playoffs. After all we all paid money to play in the league. Why not get the most for your money?
