im talking about the 2nd round of the playoffs... if 1 plays 4 and 2 plays 3 will 1 stay at home in the next game and if 4 surprises them will the winner of 2v3 play at home... i appreciate the build up in enthusiasm..... what would you prefer Home advantage and 7 enthusiasm or away with 9?

The team with better winning percentage always gets the home court advantage. if number 4 surprised number 1 it has to also surprise number 2 or 3 in their(2 or 3s) home court...

I think it makes sense... this is a gamble the teams should take... either guve up the first place by playing TIEs or go for it and take your chances... I think it fair that if a team rests befroe the PF then it has some sort of advatage.

B.t.w

How much does Enthusiam affect the game? And TIE or CT?
Anyone Know? Any posts on that?

Sorry but it is you who didn`t understand...if you are in the top of the table you should play TIE all games and in case you win them and keep on the top you will benefit from both position on the table and enthusiasm.

If you lose some of that games and lose a top position also, and in the same time other teams play TIE and overtake you by winning all the games then you have other problem - weak team. I mean, not you but teams A & B in your example.

EDIT: Bottom line is - if team A or B is not sure of his strength they should focus on winning first place in league and forget TIE approach.

I read about it in one of the posts and took it for granted without really checking the rules. It might or might not be true. My mistake...

No, it's certainly not true.

A CT? Really?
Any two will do
Any three for me
Any four will score
Any five are live

But I wasn't talking about A and B in their battle for first place.
I was talking about C getting an unfair advantage over A and B although it had less wins.
The fact that a team is in first place doesn't give them an easy win on every other team in the league.
The situation you describe of a team being able to TIE all games is only feasible in a very uncompetitive series.
