Congrats, but it is totally ridiculous that the Cup Final is at your place.

Why won't they change this????

Apparently it's important that random HCA be the key driver in who wins the cup.

Isn't that the case in every round of the cup? Why should it matter now? We could of knocked each other out in the first four rounds.....

When you get to the last rounds there's a much small gap between the teams that home court becomes a pretty decisive advantage that is earned only by luck.

I guess the point is not all that supported as both road teams won this last round. But, as seasons go by and the competition at the top gets tighter that HCA becomes more and more decisive.

I know what you are saying, but your final match up could of happened in any other week of the tournament. Case in point, I am sure Wake was oh so pleased to see NTH on the road while you faced some lower ranked team 2 or 3 weeks ago yet if that was the final match, then it should be played fairly? That makes no sense.

On that basis alone, it's all random. Random opponent, random location. You might as well make the entire tournament on a neutral court or have one division host the entire event.

And that doesn't even include the obligatory "I am going to CT the bulls at home just because",the "Salsbury flame out prior to the round of 16", or the trash talked that comes with some Div III team who makes it deep in the tournament by saying I TIE''d my league so I could abuse some NBBA team.

The non league events are never and will never be played on even footing. it's a hole in the game that will never satisfy everyone.

II.1 proved that this season. Favorable draws, weak league all committed to the tournament. Just because the stakes are higher doesn't mean the randomness is any more significant

The semis is also where you get the enthusiasm boost without any penalty. There is no question all four of you guys PO Normal. You have every built in advantage .
