Good points. I was trying to think of a scenario with byes but really we can easily go without it given the circumstances.8 and no bye is definitely simple and straight forward, plus I also like 3 vs 4 week playoffs. This is what I'd actually lean toward right now.
I know some are still ok with 10 team proposal, but ultimately while I originally though we should keep byes I also agree 10 doesn't make much sense. A simple 8 teams with no bye is much more reasonable especially this year. We can revaluate for year 2 onward.If there are no objections I think this what it should be.Updated tentative proposed playoff change for this yearRegular season consists of 13 weeks8 out of 16 teams will make the playoffs:- The top-2 seeds in each conference- 4 Wild-Card spots, which are the 4 next best teams regardless of conference- No byesThe Playoffs last a total of 3 weeks (Only 1 week finals)Round 1: WildCard Round (Scoring period 14 - April 12th to April 18th)Higher overall 1 seed between Sedin/Gilmour vs WC4 Lower overall 1 seed between Sedin/Gilmour vs WC3Higher overall 2 seed between Sedin/Gilmour vs WC2 Lower overall 2 seed between Sedin/Gilmour vs WC1 Round 2: Semi Finals - Highest seeds play lowest seeds in brackets (Scoring period 15 - April 19th to April 25th)Example:1st Sedin vs. 2nd Sedin1st Gilmour vs. 2nd GilmourRound 3: Finals (1 Week Match-up) (Scoring period 16 - April 26th to May 8th)ie. 1st Sedin vs 1st Gilmour
