Official GBC playoff proposal
Not only do GBC playoffs get overshadowed, they last a blip and then they're done. I propose something radical:
- 5-game series between #2/#3 for the right to face #1 in 7-games
- 2 3-game series between #3/#6 and #4/#5 (but both played 100% at the higher-ranked team's field), then 2 5-game series #1 vs winner #4/#5 and #2 vs winner #3/#6, then 7-game series between 2 remaining teams
- 2 5-game series #1/#4 and #2/#3, then 7-game series between 2 remaining teams
- 5-game series between #2/#3 for the right to face #1 in 7-games
- 2 3-game series between #3/#6 and #4/#5 (but both played 100% at the higher-ranked team's field), then 2 5-game series #1 vs winner #4/#5 and #2 vs winner #3/#6, then 7-game series between 2 remaining teams
- 2 5-game series #1/#4 and #2/#3, then 7-game series between 2 remaining teams

Re: Official GBC playoff proposal
So no one has to commit to this but, good idea? I actually prefer the 2nd option as it's so unique. May not be a way to implement it.

Re: Official GBC playoff proposal
I think it’s interesting. It would give more teams something to play for later in the season and I kind of like the first option, maybe with a 3 game series between 2/3 all at the 2 seed stadium. I think having a 5 game series might create too much time off for the 1 seed.
That being said, I don’t know if I have strong feelings about it either way. I kind of also like the fact that with the limited playoff pool, the Pharaohs have never made it and Im trying to do something historic for the franchise.

Re: Official GBC playoff proposal
Uh...why stop at #7? The management and fans in Sydney will riot if every other team gets in the playoffs but us! LOL
EDIT: Nevermind I'm a moron. LOL It was way too early when I read this the first time. I was thinking only one team was being left out. I now realise it's two. LOL

Re: Official GBC playoff proposal
That is radical, considering each of those is completely incompatible with the other one.
But if we're considering these one at a time, I think the second one would be most entertaining. It also matches (as you are probably aware) the Celtics-era early NBA playoffs, where #2 played #3 in each of the two divisions, faced off with #1, and then had a Finals.
It might also do some good for GBC finances.
I would propose that GBC teams vote on these proposals before it's done by fiat.

I fully support any of these options. I'd rank my preference as 2 then 3 then 1.I propose something radical:

I kind of feel like we can treat the GBC as MLB does the Independent and MiLB with trying out radical rule changes like the pitch clock.Bob Breum wrote: ↑Tue Jul 11, 2023 10:17 amI fully support any of these options. I'd rank my preference as 2 then 3 then 1.I propose something radical:

Re: Official GBC playoff proposal
Could see a 4 team playoff, but under no circumstances should 75% of the league make the playoffs.

Re: Official GBC playoff proposal
Why not? I mean, we really shouldn't have any limits when it comes to the GBC as long as it doesn't violate BBA Constitution. I would argue, and I have on this point with many a sports fan, that it keeps fans more engaged and is more entertaining to be playing for a seed. No, not common in baseball but neither is a single table.
EDIT: I'm going to prove a GBC thorn in everyone's side...

Re: Official GBC playoff proposal
Good thing the fans don’t really have that effect in GBC. We don’t care about their feelings, just financials. No point rewarding sun .500 teams with a playoff berth.cheekimonk wrote: ↑Thu Jul 13, 2023 5:35 pmWhy not?

Re: Official GBC playoff proposal
For what it's worth, I think I'd rather see GBC, which I think is staying well staffed with Humans these days, move back to low tier ML level and add bonus funds in than mess with playoffs. I really think it loses something as an indy only league.
