One thing that bothers me is that the frequency of games in our super region sure have tapered off the last couple weeks. Looking forward to start playing again.

I am neither for nor against play-in games at the tournament site. But something to consider when thinking about renting a facility for the play-in games.

Anyone know what the actual cost is?
Is the Civic Center no longer available? Why the change?
Maybe if everyone played the full number of games the state allowed, there would be a little more revenue to help with rent...

Region 1 just needs to allow for 1 more Regular Season game (21 like R2 & R7 allow) and get that play-in round a little closer to the Region Tournament...instead of a week before...1 more Regular season game allowed could help with that gap. Top 3 seeds haven't played a game since February 9th.

I understand the concern about lopsided games but these kids work hard all year and it's pretty rare that the challenge games for the 3rd and 4th region qualifier games are not competitive. As for lopsided games, if that's the motivation, one of the most lopsided games including the Region play in round was the championship game in Region 1.
Can anyone fill me in on what the motivation for this change was? Just curious. I'm a fan, not an administrator, so maybe there are other factors driving this decision but it sure seems obvious that it is not in the interest of the kids.
On the same note, if Districts must be gone, the least you can do is provide the kids with a tournament feel by playing all play in games at the Region Tournament site. Playing at higher seed's site is a slap in the face to the kids on the lower seeded teams who are likely going away a loser without even a taste of the tournament experience whatsoever. In my view, this is a terrible decision that needs to be reversed. I can see using this format once it gets down to 4 teams or so but in Region 1 at least, that is not the case.

Example of A, of why regions are dumping districts.
Idea: what if you put the first round of your super region at one HS?

I'd be in favor of super region first round at the site of the best seed playing in a play in game.

I'd be in favor of holding both the first two rounds at a school site(s). That would give the schools a chance to make some money and keep expenses down. The move the semifinal and finals night to the Betty, SHAC, Dome, Civic, etc.
