Geez mdlax, that's what I've been suggesting.MDlaxfan76 wrote: ↑Sun May 15, 2022 2:18 pm How about this, no games before last week of February, 14 game minimum, get rid of AQ, dump the conference playoffs (pick up a weekend), and select based on formula and committee analysis?
Add 2 more play-in games.

I think the conference playoffs are basically worthless other than for AQ, so more time for playing OOC enables more points of comparison and shorter season.
You won't appreciate the source but doing away with conf playoffs was suggested by rrr. You need to catch up.

Why does lax get special pleading on needing even more teams?
hmmm... is this comparison relevant? apples to oranges to grapefruit to... especially when parity is pushing growth?
The one change I would make is to follow hockey and use a mathematical formula for selection and seeding. Straight RPI would work just as well as anything else (and would have Duke and ND in this year instead of OSU and Harvard).
but not even better to include OSU, Harvard, Army, ND, Duke, Jax? fine with math of course but apply the math to an expanded/improved tourney infrastructure.
Field gets too large it would be unplayable. How many rounds could a team play after a season? Play into mid-June?tech37 wrote: ↑Sun May 15, 2022 3:10 pmCU77 wrote: ↑Sun May 15, 2022 2:36 pm Men's lax already has a higher percentage of teams in the tourney (18/73 = 24.7%) than basketball, soccer, or baseball, all of which are closer to 20%.

Full playoff D1 men's lacrosse is currentlydoable; 38 teams playoff for D3 men's lax championship, just add a round for the D1 tourney and, again, you can still split the finals off to have well rested teams.
Let's not forget talk of doing away with league tourneys is anti-capitalist: they're nothing but money making propositions, but that ain't nothin'. I'd sign on, but I'm a well-known s0ciali$+!
Other idea in response to this year's horrible injustice: like The Masters (tm), auto-invite past champions. That way Notre Dame would have nothing to complain... uhhh... oh dear... hmmmmm... never mind.

No, no, no. There is no mathematical formula worth a p00p that gives good results with such a short season. You, of all people, should know that.
