That's my point. Every team shouldn't make the playoffs. I said, in my opinion, only the top 2 teams in each district should make the playoffs. I was using the participation trophy as an example. Do you really think a winless team should make the playoffs? By not making the playoffs it more than likely saves them from more embarrassment. And I don't think I said or implied anywhere in my post about t-shirts Ol Buddy. Lol

I don't think having every team in the playoffs is letting them "make" anything. Every KY basketball team is allowed to participate in district tournaments. Do you think that the players on those teams believe that they have earned anything? As for embarrassment, is an 0-11 or 1-10 record really any more embarrassing than an 0-10 record? I don't think so.

I really don't understand the bogus analogy with handing out participation trophies. Indiana keep scores in high school football playoff games and nobody is going to confuse their state championship teams with their occasional winless playoff teams.
