I like the idea of having the first 2 rounds of games formatted similar to the Wild Card games in the MLB. Winners move on. Then once you get to the final 4, play a best of three series to determine who moves on to the championship. Then do the same best of three for the finals. That keeps teams honest in a sense that they know they must develop pitching to match that many games in a short period of time. It would limit those teams who have a killer night and find a way to beat teams better than them. It happens all the time. It would offer a more true state champion. Sure, it would take longer to play, but 3 weeks to find a winner is not bad considering the state football playoffs take 4 weeks to complete.

Classification in baseball and softball would definitely help those in Eastern Kentucky. It would be interesting to see how these changes would effect the game itself.
