Do the Catholic schools always play 5 games ( best 3 out of 5) and what if they are playing a public school?

 

I just noticed it on the KHSAA scoreboard and wondered how this works. The games seem so short I wish they played that way in the public schools.

I thought everyone switched to this format a couple of years ago?

 

Rally scoring and whatnot??

Well in Public schools it is 2 out of 3....It appears that in Catholic schools it is 3 out of 5.

 

Yes rally scoring

KHSAA allows each school to schedule a limited number of "best of 5" matches. I believe the limit is six per year. Some of the parochial schools use this format when playing their marquee matchups.

I can't find the limit on 'best 3 of 5 matches'.

I could have saved you some time because I couldn't fine anything earlier.It's one of the worst websites to try and find information.:irked:

Agreed, it's not very well organized.

You are doing better than me, I can not even find where it is discussed...

It seems it would be great to get that much playing time out of every match.

In OH, 3 out of 5 is the normal match. Ask any St. Henry parent that got out of Oak Hills last night after a 3 game Freshman match, 3 game JV Match, and a best of 5 Varsity match that went 4 games. The players got home @ midnight.

 

This is probably the reason to avoid 3 out of 5 games. Especially in long distance travel games.

 

I have an idea, how about getting rid of the 20 minute warm up. St. Henry had a match against an opponent last week in which the score was 25-5 and 25-4. The warm ups almost took longer than the match. Seriously. If you include player announcements and the National anthem, pregame took longer than the match. Shorten warmups to 8 minutes, and play best out of 5.

 

That is my rant for the day... :jump: :jump:

Leave the warmups alone . They do have a purpose that is to help the players stretch help to prevent injuries .

I think that it would be great for the smaller schools to go to best 3/5 to give the varsity more experience. Most can not play any type of club ball due to location and it would be a great way to work on the game.

 

Most of our opponents do not even field a freshman team so this would not extend the evening too much for them.

Why is where you are located a hinderance in playing club ball ? Go to this website

 

http://www.pioneervb.com for information about club teams in Kentucky . Maybe there is one close to where you live .

Already checked it out and it is about 1 hour away.. also my daughter plays Varsity Basketball and has since 7th grade so that leaves her out until March..

 

However she may get to participate as a practice player after Basketball ends in March. There are actually several really nice players in our local area that do both sports.

 

Still like the 5 games idea..it appears they do that across the river in Indiana also.
