My only retort to that argument is based on what a team's goal is.

If it's to have a high RPI so that by week 3 they host a game, then they should schedule like you say.

But if their goal is win a State Title, they have to have more than an RPI number - they have to be challenged in the season so that when they finally play the best of the best in rounds 3 and following; they will have an advantage of facing that caliber of team already.

Just my take. :Thumbs:

In most situations round three will be a blow do to the fact that we are playing district appoints the first two rounds! You see anybody complaining from the Pairs district?? No cause their entire district was gone by week three in the old format now they get to put one of their subpar teams into week three because two of the better teams on the east side will be eliminated by week three! If this new format was created to get the best teams into the state championship game then we messed up!! Badly
