Re: Michigan State Championship 2017 Dates

So is there going to be one giant division with two fields? Two divisions? More than two fields? I guess only time will tell.....

Btw, good luck to all the teams that have to scout 160 teams (assuming one giant division).

My prediction is two divisions, named Ford and Edison, each playing on their own field (as in two total fields), and both fielding 16 playoff teams.

Doubling the amount of playoff teams for the 57% increase in teams would be pretty consistent to the expansion between 2014 and 2015, where there was a 59% increase in teams and the amount of playoff teams doubled.

Re: Michigan State Championship 2017 Dates

My guess is 4 fields, and divisions some how. Not exactly sure how they will set it up, but I definitely feel that 4 fields will happen at this year's MSC. The DeltaPlex just got to small for FiM, and its intriguing to see how much we have grown as an organization.

Re: Michigan State Championship 2017 Dates

I'm hoping for at least 2 divisions (for scouting and ranking sanity), but I also would not be surprised if the winners of the divisions then go into a little Einstein to crown one Michigan State Champ alliance.

If stands can be brought into the fieldhouse and the field removed, it could work. Possibly.

Re: Michigan State Championship 2017 Dates

For the past 2 years the fields have been unofficially called Batman and Superman by the volunteers running it (FTAs, event coordinators, etc.) My best guess is that the unofficial names will continue, but if more fields are added they will unofficially be adding a few more superheroes.

The official names for the fields will likely be up for purchase by sponsors as they have been in the past. DTE and Consumers come to mind.

I hope there are 2 divisions, no more, no less. More than two does not yield enough depth and the back end of the draft can start to get weak. One division of so many teams and the scouting becomes too difficult.

Has anyone been able to locate plans that show the size of the spaces, and how they are connected? It is really confusing, and I have no idea how it all will fit.

Re: Michigan State Championship 2017 Dates

I heard 4 fields, 4 divisions. I think 4 and 2 would be better, but this is what I heard.

As someone involved with the planning of MSC this year, I can confirm that the current plan is 4 fields, 4 divisions, 160 teams. Each division will play on their own field, winners from each division will then play another set of elim matches to determine an event winner (much like Worlds).

Pits and Practice fields will be in the Field-house, Playing fields will be in the main Gym of the Ryder Center (additional seating will be brought in to accommodate the extra fields).
