Some of you may be familiar with this event that pits state champions from states against each in late December.At the moment they have 8 states that allow another game after their state championship has been decided.
Interesting news about California regarding this event.The national board had a Q & A with the company that organizes this series(Paragon) and this what they had to say.
RegardingCalifornia we have had conversations with the CIF and they are open-minded about the possibility down the road, but it’s a complicated process to change or overrule the bylaw – the State Office cannot just change their no-post-season play rule. According to our understanding they would 1) need a school to submit a rules change and then 2) have that rules change go through a vote of all 1,580 member schools. Some schools who could qualify are hesitant to play a plus 1 game after the CIF Bowl Game which was only created a few years ago. However, there are some CIF schools interested in playing and we intend to work with them to see if the by-laws can be changed in the next few years.
So if/when they get the by law changed the open champion would qualify to play another state champ.How do you all feel about such a game?
