That was a great Saturday semi
- Thread starter eireog
- Start date
Some good games, but to go back and beat the dead horse a little more about how to "fix" blowouts....
16 games this weekend:
5 were 1 score games
2 were 2 scores
9 were 3+ scores
56% of the semi-final games were decided by at least 3 scores. There is no fix to stopping blowouts.

I’ve said this before in the annual first round blowout rant…
To get rid of blowouts, you’d need to split the 256 teams into about 32 classes somehow accurately grouped by ability and not strictly an enrollment number. It’s not feasible, and runaways are just part of the deal in the real world.
Some brackets have more depth than others. Some have no clear favorites. Sometimes the most compelling games are in the quarterfinals. Sometimes a team boat races the whole field - which kinda sucks, but it happens.
Everything is fine. Multiplier/waiver deal seems to work fairly well. Full 1-32 seeding would be the best improvement imho
