some 2 out of 3 is better than none...... even when my son's team won game 1 but later got eliminated after dropping games 2 and 3.

some 2 out 3 is better than one and done the whole way through

2 out of 3 can't happen because there are 48 teams...Dear Lord why are there 48 teams at "State"...My question is, why must the state tournament be held in Sulphur? Yes they do have a large capacity. That capacity is worthless though considering there isn't a single good seat in the house. Massive poles block your view at every angle. It's a terrible place to watch a baseball game. I was very disappointed in that regard.

2 out of 3 might be "better", but there is no argument that it is not fair and balanced in determining a champion.

Actual champions would change simply by arbitrarily changing the rounds where best of 3 are played.

It must be consistent to hold any validity.

They could reduce number of playoff teams and play best of 3 to determine a true champion, but we all know what the driving force is.

Money.

I had an issue that needed attention earlier this year and was given names and numbers to LHSAA. I called 2 days straight all day and not one person out of 8 different numbers I called even had a voicemail/answering machine. No receptionist/secretary.

They are not in a hurry to help or answer any questions, I can assure you that.
