New or old Playoff System?

[FridayMainEvent]

How about this, for most, maybe all, it reduced travel in region games The TSSAA has little influence on anyone playing or not playing local, medium travel, or far off non-region games but the region games seem to be far more reasonable distance. The South Pittsburg/Chattanooga regions probably would have been still combined had Marion and Boyd not moved down from Class AA.

True, they can't control who you schedule as non district competion, but for the most part, teams have less region/district games and have to scramble to fill out remaining schedule. This often results in excessive travel just to fine a non committed opponent.

I thought this is what they should have done in a similar fashion as the A, AA, AAA system.

Unless you are S.P. and no 1a school will play them. Huntland never has because they have never been in a district or region with SP. Copper Basin dropped SP once out of the region yet they picked up Jasper. For your district it may have shortened things but it didn't much for SP and several others. Plus, the non-district and region schedule is still a required part of the schedule unless a school only wants to play a 5 or 6 game schedule.

This new system is awful and it sucks horribly. The AAA AA A turning into 6a 5a 4a 3a 2a 1a is a joke. Also alot of districts are not balanced, some will have mostly even or odd playoff classes. No matter what the TSSAA will find a way to screw it up anyways. They are alot like our current gubment. They should change the name to TLSFI Tennessee Legion of Stupid Freaking Idiots.

Its tough for a school with 220 students to be playing against a school with 550. That's what you would have with four classes. This system has flaws for sure. The current quadrants will change but what if they didn't. Quadrant one right now is a joke. They need to be able to seperate the top teams. It also gets old having to play the same teams every year in the playoffs.

Actually, it wouldn't be that high of a cut-off for A to AA. In the A, AA, AAA system schools with 400 or more students were AA. At one point the tssaa was balancing the 3 classes but there were never in A schools with over 400 students. There wouldn't be in an A, AA, AAA, or AAAA system if there wasn't in the old 3-class system. Each of the 4 classes would have about 75 schools.
