Hello Coaches,
What are your thoughts on having a Play-In Tournament? It certainly is an
interesting idea but keep in mind that we only have 24 teams in SOMIBA
compared to the 30-teams of the NBA. That means there are a lot more teams
in the middle compared to our league, and this year we really have
exceptional parity.
If we want to go with a Play-In Tournament, I personally think that we
should cap teams eligible based on the winning percentage such as only
teams with at least a winning percentage of 0.450 (37-45) should be
eligible for it. And most years that would probably eliminate most ninth
and tenth place teams from participating, just as it would this season. If
we went any lower 0.400 (33-49) that really seems low, but it would get
more teams involved. What do you think?
Here are the standings after block 4:

Note, Madison and San Diego would have a one game tie breaker game to
determine who
participates in the playoffs and who does not, and therefore one of eight
lottery
teams.
Also, Indiana would have four home games in round one while Hickory only
three.
