Playoff point system has major flaws

Recommended Posts

Hagerty gets 38 points for beating 0-5 Ocoee 22-21

Viera gets 33 points for losing to 4-0 Cocoa in overtime

Miami Central gets 33 points for losing to IMG in a game they led late.

Apopka gets 33 points for losing to 4-0 Lakeland by 7 in the last minute on the road.

Booker T Washington gets 28 points for losing to Miami Northwestern by 7

I could give more examples but no need to.

In conclusion it is better to schedule bad to average teams and win then schedule great teams and lose close.

I was shocked when I saw Vero has the highest point totals of all classes, regions etc etc

I've been saying that all along. Of course if you just win your district, points don't matter.

Except that depending on whether you are seeded 1 to 4, it will affect not only who you play in the first and subsequent rounds, but whether you are home or on the road. 

District champs gets you no lower than #4 seed and home for round one. That's good when you consider that the old system did the same. 

I don't see why schools schedule teams with little chance of winning with hopes of getting points. 35 points is better than 33. Besides, why play an IMG Academy when there are other good programs that can get you potentially 50 points that you actually have a shot at beating?

I don't like the fact that you don't get anything for playing higher classification teams.  I realize that a good 1a team may be harder to beat than a bad 4a team but a bad 4a team will smoke a bad 1a team.  If classification doesn't matter then do away with classification.  

It's because if we did that teams like Columbia would have no reason to play a 1a Madison team when we could get more points by playing Deland for example 

 

The current system is to reward playing good teams not just high class teams

And how come Carol city would get Jensen beach ????

District champs are locked as seeds 1-4 in order of points among district champs 

 

Wild cards are seeds 5-8 based on points 

 

And because Jensen Beach is listed as projected district champ but that could change

That's the exception if you seeded 4a vs 1a best against best down to worst vs worst 4a wins every single game.

    • I seriously can't remember how many times I had to do that very thing. Like Nolebull said in another discussion, the kids know kids from other schools and where the "hot hand" is. I never entertained discussions with kids or parents of kids from other schools. I know we lost some good ones because of it but I am ok with that.
    • In a single word, "no." In a lot more words, see the following: (From 2023-24 FHSAA Handbook) 36.2 GENERAL DEFINITIONS 36.2.1 Athletic Recruiting. “Athletic recruiting” is any effort by a school employee, athletic department staff member or representative of a school’s athletic interests to pressure, urge or entice a student to attend that school for the purpose of participating in interscholastic athletics.   and this . . . 36.2.2 Improper Contact. “Improper contact” is contact, either directly or indirectly, whether in person or through written or electronic communication, by a school employee, athletic department staff member, representative of the school’s athletic interests or third parties, such as an independent person, business or organization, with a student or any member of the student’s family, in an effort to pressure, urge or entice the student to attend a different school for the purpose of participating in interscholastic athletics.  See Policy 37.    In fact, if the kid contacts the coach at another school, the coach is not supposed to communicate with the kid other than to refer the kid to the person at the school responsible for admissions.    Best I can tell, there is no exception for being able to reach out to a kid who plays a sport that is not offered by the school that the kid currently attends.  Perhaps there should be . . . but then you'd really be opening Pandora's Box.   
    • So you are not allowed to talk to a kid who is not an active football player currently attending a school that doesn’t have a football team?
    • 1.  Ask around and get the kid's phone number. 2.  Call the kid.  3.  If that doesn't work, DM the kid.  4.  Once communications are established, try to convince the kid to come to your school.  There may be other ways, but I think this would be the easiest way to recruit a kid .
