Totally random idea since it seems like their will be 8 teams from the 6A conference in the open this year. Let's eliminate the Open Division and make the 6A playoffs a 12 team format with the other playoffs remaining 16 team tourneys.
Week One: 12 seed plays 5 seed, 11 seed plays 6, 10 plays 7, 9 plays 8......teams 1 through 4 have a bye.
Teams who are seeds 13-16 in 6A become the top 4 seeds in the 5A playoffs. For instance Red Mountain would play Millennium, Salpointe would play Gilbert, etc... Seeds 13 through 16 in 5A become the top 4 seeds in the 4A playoffs meaning Paradise Valley plays Lake Havasu, Central plays Yuma Catholic, etc...
The teams that would get "screwed" and not qualify for post season would be teams 13-16 in 3A. Those 4 teams were blown out anyway this past weekend.
Anyway, thats my thought process.
I'm sure you guys will rip it but it would be different
