This one is about soccer. Let me set the stage. I play on a team that has games scheduled at 6:30 every Sunday night. There are two brackets of teams. Both of them play Sunday nights at 6:30. After playing each team in your bracket twice, the top four teams from each bracket make it into a single elimination playoffs. We have secured our place in this years playoffs.
Here is the rant. If say, I, was in charge of organizing this playoff experience, I would assume that 6:30 on Sunday nights would probably work for all 8 teams. However, the league organizes differently. They have instead decided that they will let all their leagues have weekend playoffs and schedule everyone at either Saturday at noon, or Sunday at noon. I don't get it. I can't think of a team that will have the same number or level of players on a weekend daytime during the summer as they would if they just played at their normally scheduled time. The playoffs aren't done any quicker by having them on the weekend days, you still only play one game a week.
We specifically are at a loss with either game. I know of players who work on Saturday and wouldn't be able to make it if we played that day, and much of our team wouldn't be able to make a noon on Sunday game because of their church commitments.
MRSL. Get a clue. Organize your playoffs so that we play the teams at the same time we have played all year long. How hard is that?
