gchs_uk9 Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 I'm not a big fan of district winners hosting in the first round, simply because you only get to watch one game as a fan. But with the current setup and the insistence of splitting the sessions, most people probably watch only one game anyway. Not a bad plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Son of Bear Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 The 11th region started doing this last year. 1st round games are at the district winners place, semis and finals are at EKU. The old format was all games played at the neutral site, which rotated each year from EKU to Frankfort. All the games are not played on consecutive nights however...

ladiesbballcoach Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 Several years (5-7 maybe) back when the girls teams were being forced to do M-T and M-T, this was another idea (the first is the setup now that the boys are using) that was floated to AD's and Principals to get the girls off the M-T and M-T format. It was shot down too and there was no desire to make a switch for the sake of the girls' programs. But when the precious boys' programs had to do an alternate setup, then we start making all sorts of switches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the thought process would be boys semifinals on Friday night will bring bigger crowds (and non-partisan viewers) than will girls. Pushing the boys off Friday night is in all likely leaving some fans money unspent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully, if the above format were adopted, it would remain in place regardless of which state tournament was played first. I would think both boys and girls would prefer a Friday or Saturday night final to a Tuesday night or Sunday afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westsider Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 Fans want to be able to watch the entire regional tournament, to have the teams playing in one setting. I like the 10th Region's current setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lights Out 30 Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 It isn't a bad set-up, but I don't like the district winners hosting the first round either. Also, not a big fan of the split sessions as the region has now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Clyde Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 I hate the idea of playing the 1st round at host schools. If you like to watch all the games you have to choose one of 4 to go to. The 10th Region Class A did this for two years and all the schools voted to go back to one site which they did this year. Makes for better atmosphere and better for the fans IMO. Also, the coaches liked it because they could scout potential opponents one last time because they could see each game. Keep the tournament at one site.

Billy Clyde Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 If my teams is in the Region Finals I don't care what day they play on. Heck I would be there to watch at 3:00 a.m. Monday morning if that's when it was played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
