| School: | Gothenburg | |||
| NSAA District: | 4 | |||
| Proposal for: | Activities Manual | |||
| Classes Affected: | Class C | |||
| Activities Affected: | Volleyball | |||
| This proposal: | WILL increase costs to the school WILL NOT increase costs to the NSAA WILL increase travel for participating schools WILL NOT decrease a student's or coach's instruction time | |||
| Implementation date: | 2024-08-01 | |||
| Sections affected in Activities Manual: | Page 17 | Article | Section Classes C1 & C2 | |
| Summary: | The 16 teams qualifying for the district final will be placed on a 16-team bracket based on wildcard point averages through sub-districts. The higher seeded team will host the district final match. The winner of the district final match will advance to the state championship. | |||
| Rationale: | This proposal mirrors Class B. It rewards teams for having a successful season and earning the right to host a district final on their home court on a Saturday in front of their home fans and community. This would eliminate the need to find neutral host sites on a Saturday and also find help (line judges, libero, clock, ticket takers, etc.) | |||
| Pros: | -Rewards a team for having a successful season and earn the right to play a district final on their home court.
-Eliminates the need to find a neutral site on a Saturday. Very few schools want to host a game that doesn't involve their students. -Does not impact missing class time for teachers/coaches/players. -The gate and concessions will increase due to home crowd and community support. -The school and community deserves the opportunity to host (restaurants, showcase your school, etc.) | |||
| Cons: | Potential for increased travel for the lower seeded team. | |||
