This is all hypothetical. We still have chrome to play this week. And for all intents have to win a tough game against platinum.

Bottom line is, scheduling is up to the home team and is weighted a lot by stadium/venue availability

Correct, it's all hypothetical, but teams have to be able to plan, and clubs/venues have several logistics to work around, and everyone should have the same amount of time to prepare for their next game, which is why I think precedent has always been to work backwards from championship Saturday:  semis on Tuesday, quarters on Saturday, and any early round games that week before.

This part of your post I don't agree with. Everyone shouldn't have the same amount of time.  If you wanted control of the "time and date", than you should have won the games you lost.  Playing the first game on saturday does not allow for equal time to prepare for the semifinal, which one could assume would be a more difficult game to plan for, and so on for the final as well.  Why would the quarterfinal get the full week? Make that make sense to me and I'll wait

You're asking me to make sense out of an argument you're having with yourself.  My point has not been whether it's better to have more time to prepare for a quarterfinal or a semifinal or a final...I'm simply stating the facts of how things have been done in the past (i.e. "precedent", as you alluded to earlier).

No I’m asking you to make sense of YOUR argument that YOU made when YOU asked the question as to how are the playoff games scheduled. When told how and why, YOU retaliated with YOUR assumption that should be on Saturday, most likely because you see that as the most beneficial to YOUR team.

But yea I’ll continue arguing with myself. Maybe Coach12 will get back from his honeymoon and we can talk it over at Starbucks

My apologies, jabs asked the original question. This is probably some devious plan to get us all arguing about something that isn’t even relevant yet since we were so close to determining his true identity. I feel like we could make this into a scooby doo episode....

@TST maybe you should run for club president.  It sounds like you have it all figured out.  The guy running it now is so fed up with all the crap and accusations of conspiracies that he's worn thin and just doesn't want to put up with all the people that think they are getting screwed over around every turn.  I hope you get everything you want and more in life.  Peace

Correct, I didn't start the conversation, but I am interested in the league's procedure here.  I have to assume that you're not the first one to raise the argument that having more time to prepare for later round games is better (a valid position that I'm sure many others would agree with), but for some reason every single bracket from 3rd-7th grade the past two years has started quarterfinals on Saturday.  Maybe that's just coincidence, or maybe it's that the powers that be from the various clubs have realized having some consistency in the schedule isn't a bad thing.  By the way, I don't really care when we play.

Hold up Shaggy...If TST is with Jenks Black and Mav is with Maroon then who is Jabs with? 
Reading between the lines here it looks like TST- Jenks Black is hopeful for a Saturday game?  Mav the JTA president and Maroon parent is stuck in a damn if you do damn if you don't kinda spot.  IMHO it doesn't matter what day the game is played, we all know who will win Jenks!

So you have researched every bracket in 3-7th and no one at any time has played a quarterfinal game at any time prior to Saturday following the final regular season game? If that is the case, than I would certainly agree a precedent of some kind has been set. Looks like it’s time to blow off work and dive into the forum archives before practice.

And TST, I like you and appreciate the effort, but we both know dang well you care when you play lol

Fellas, give TST some slack.  Its easy to schedule games when you have one team in the playoffs.  Jenks has 3 and that can be a logistic nightmare at times. ;) ;)
