I think this is a really really good idea, yet would be physically tough on the young men and women, as well as time consuming. |

Better than one team having to travel and play on the other team's field. Two legs is better than one game.

I never understood this in MLS. The playoffs are important enough for two games but the final is just one.
I don't think it is a good idea. It would take too long.

First round (8 teams with bye in a 24 team playoff) should be single game play in round.
Then round of 16, quarters, and Semifinals could all be home and away, 2 legged rounds that each last 1 week. Higher (better) seed gets second game at home in case aggregate is tied and overtime is needed. Then final is single game as part of the championships at the neutral site that wins the bidding process.
I've brought this up before... Would need to cut a week off reg season or start week earlier... One or the other, but it's definitely doable.

Part of the greatness of the playoffs is one game's finality. I can't imagine a team winning its last game during the playoffs and being eliminated at the same time.

No. We don't need kids forced to travel more and miss more school. There are so many blowouts in the first and even the second round. Dragging those matches out to two legs would be utterly pointless. Even in the later stages of the playoffs this would be a waste of time and money.

Using the Brazilian Cup example, the first and second rounds do have blowouts, but if the away team (higher seeded team), wins by a difference of two goals or more (could be adjusted to high school standards) there's no second leg game. |

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I537 using proboards For what it's worth the Champions League also uses that format. But I agree it is kind of weird.
Two-legged playoffs in high school is an interesting concept to ponder though. With some tweaking it could maybe work.

Plus these kids play way too many games in the regular season anyway. 35 games in 4 mmonths, then another 8 for playoffs? Poor idea in my opinion. The injuries are there waiting to happen 90% of the time and then we want them to play more? This would close to being as dumb a rule as the mercy rule. |

Only the Semi-Finals should be two legs. All other playoffs should remain 1 games.
Semi-Finals as a two leg competition would be fantastic.

Two legs equal referee bashing times a million. It works in the rest of the world, but I don't see it working here.

No. Travel costs alone could wipe out a program if you have to travel for every round.

Home field advantage is usually the death nail for traveling teams in quarters and semi's, leaving many teams to wonder if playing at home would the outcome have been different. |

I'd say, quarters and semifinals do 2games and final only one game.

You play with your heart when you are on the field There's a difference between getting injured accidentally and your body breaking down after playing 40 games in 4 months I'm almost 100% sure these kids would love to play more games. It's the sport they love. besides, we are only talking 4 extra games at a maximum. You make it seem like they are playing 10+ extra games. calm down. |
