Limiting Play-Off Teams

[Texasminuteman]

Maybe add another playoff team to 3AAA that way Liberty could go to the playoffs!!! :o

We have gotten completely out of hand with the playoff numbers and the all district picks.Send 2 teams to the playoffs and pick your 11 best players on the all district club and teach everyone to work harder if they want the prize at the end of the season.

Lets let every team make the playoffs it teaches the kids a great life lesson they can be below average and still be winners. Skip the hard work thing where all in. I also think it should apply to school work everybody gets an a.

I get your point, but who says they are not working hard?  The average Larrys and Joes just aren't as big or fast, and they will go home when they meet a better team.

Should a car salesman who 'works hard' and sells 2 cars a week get rewarded the same as a car salesman who 'works hard' and sells 9 cars a week?

it keeps teams playing for something ! if you know you have no chance at going anywhere after the third or fourth game teams tend to give up. look at hj and warren.

What about 3rd & 4th place teams who go further in the playoffs? A couple if years ago one of the Klein teams, went further than the district champs. Is that a fluke?  I don't know, but it was interesting.

It happens sometimes, but I believe it is more the exception than the rule.
