First game went to the lower seed and the next 2 went to the higher seed. They were even smart enough to realize that was a dumb idea and changed it this year.

Which makes it even stupider. What's the point if you weren't going to stick with it? Glad they're not sticking with it, though.

Rookie Joined: Feb 2007 Posts: 811 Location: United States	#10 Posted: 10/4/2012 9:23:51 AM Gotta be honest.... I do think it is an advantage for the better team.... You are getting your ace on the hill on the road... which previously, the first road game would go to your #3.... You gotta beleive your team has a higher chance to get that 1 road victory w/ their ace, right?

Legend Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 31099 Location: California	#11 Posted: 10/7/2012 4:10:41 PM With 0-2 record under this MLB's new genius format, i bet A's not going to appreciate Bud's master minds, Sparky. Actually, higher seed teams SHOULD enjoy their HFA in first two games not the lower seed teams by this f****g format.

Give the lower seed a leg up and they probably figured to get one or two more games this playoff season..means MILLIONS...

Prospect Joined: Feb 2012 Posts: 348 Location: Utah	#18 Posted: 10/7/2012 5:54:54 PM The MLB 2-3 format and NBA finals 2-3-2 format are the only two series in American sports where the lower seed has the opportunity to have more home games than the higher seed. These two formats make no sense at all to me, it seems really silly to potentially give an advantage to them if they didn't earn it in the regular season.N Needs to be fixed.

Legend Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 31099 Location: California	#19 Posted: 10/7/2012 5:57:19 PM Higher seeds have first two games at home in NBA, that's big difference from the MLB format, MLB is full of crack head running it.
