FYI, the 2nd option is to change the playoff seedings from 1-4 to be based solely on record. Wheras in the existing format, the 4 seed is ALWAYS the wildcard, even when they have a better record than one of the division winners.

This proposal would allow the wildcard to be seeded anywhere from 2-4, since the 1 seed would obivously have a better record by winning a division.

Basically seeds 2 3 and 4 would look at records. Winning your division would not guarentee you a 2 or 3 seed (no should it). Statistaclly, over 6 seasons in SACD and the Frenzy the 4 seed has knocked out the 1 seed every year. That same 4 seed has had a better record than at least one and often 2 higher seeds.

This proposal is to ensure that the 1 seed is rewarded with facing the team with the worst record.

yah, what he said.....

What no mention of the MLB-style? How many times over those 6 seasons in SACD and Frenzy have the 4 seed and 1 seed been in the same division?

I dont have the numbers but not every year. Regardless, I dont think that simplifies things, only makes them more complex.

How more complex? Seems pretty simple to me.

A sad and sorry argument...the seedings would already have been decided. Yah, I guess it's very complicated to look at which division each team is in, and see if two teams that are supposed to play each other are in same division, and swap them out with the other two teams. I think the new guy, Alan, is pretty smart. He can figure it out for us........we'll make that his new duty.....

What's the big justification for the MLB style?

Basically keeps the Wild Card team as the 4 seed, but they may end up playing the 2 seed instead of 1 seed, if both WC and #1 come from same division. It was actually the original variation proposed, and the 3rd option was added because that's what they are proposing in the Frenzy, and since we are the baby brother, we copy them as much as possible......:wasntme

FYI - we still need votes from:
