Pretty straight forward, you get to play supreme ruler of the IHSA and can enact one by-law with no consequences. What do you add

That is allowed.Great start from first two posters. I would add that the IHSA allow video reviews of players disqualified in a game when official errors are made. The referees are human and can make a mistake. The player disqualified loses out on the game being played and also the next game.
make home field stick for entire playoffs for higher seeds
Did you see the disaster that was the coaches poll this spring?Coaches Ranking playoff seeding
1-32 seeding
See above!1. Separate public/private
2. 8 classes, (privates 4A to 8A only?) but because…
3. 8 game season and 4 wins is threshold.
4. Coaches seed.
5. Home field for better seed throughout.
6. Private champ vs. public champ at each class
and just because I’m the Czar:
7. All games streamed for free online. Sponsored perhaps?
8. Hot dog, popcorn and a bottle of water for $3 meal deal at every field!
So for those who want higher seed always play at home...
So your saying you are ok with having a state champ that never gets any road wins in the playoffs?
Do I got this right?
Some teams rarely make it to the playoffs and your saying if those schools get a first round win they still don't get a shot at playing at home for week 2? Give me a break.

I said that in the past too. I think that is the best idea. Being a 9-0 team against a horrible 5-4 team, it really doesn't matter if you are home or away. So maybe go on the road in hopes of getting a home quarter or semi game.I would like the higher seeded teams to have the option of home or away in the first and second rounds. Thus, being able to manipulate home games later in the bracket
I'd be ok with this, but home field semi games are more electric than a state final IMO. You are more likely to get everyone out to the semi game. State you run into thanksgiving plans, travel, watching on television, or whatever else keeps people away.I think the semis should be at a neutral site.
I don't agree with the high seed getting home field the entire way simply because all schedules aren't equal.
If I was the Czar? Beer Gardens at all games! And video scoreboards at all fields so you can catch a replay!1. Separate public/private

Unless you are a perennial 9-0 Lane Tech usually losing to that "horrible" 5-4 suburban school in 1st roundI said that in the past too. I think that is the best idea.

I actually agree with him - on all his points. I am against neutral sites. I've enjoyed visiting McHenry, Woodstock, Lake Zurich and many other schools. Cary Grove would have been nice, too, if it wasn't for the storm troopers. I might go back to Woodstock to see some other school play 'em just for the pork chop sandwich.The best system for who plays home for the playoffs is the existing IHSA system. In fact its so creative its one of the best things the IHSA created.
As for having all teams make the playoffs is just foolish. This merely makes the 9 game season a pre-season and then the first 3 or 4 rounds will just be blowouts in the playoffs. So you really don't play a meaningful game until week 12 or 13. Yes this is a very smart idea when it's just hard in this era to get 3 games in with covid.
Reducing to 6 classes, I'm all for it.
I'm not for neutral sites until the finals. The quarters and semi's held at the schools are some of the most exiting games of the year.
