pilight · Posted: 09/03/14 8:40 pm ::: Best of three format stats

1-2 format
71 series
55 wins for higher seed 77%
40 three game series 56%
26 sweeps for higher seed 37%
5 sweeps for lower seed 7%

1-1-1 format
30 series
20 wins for higher seed 67%
13 three game series 43%
13 sweeps for higher seed 43%
4 sweeps for lower seed 13%

The 1-1-1 format continues to produce more sweeps and be better for the low seeds than the 1-2.

sooo... one could argue that the 1-1-1 format works better to even the odds? make things a little more "fair"?

Costs ESPN less than any further game investment-think that was the deciding factor, not increased fairness to any team.

Best of 3 should be 1-1-1. There have been enough off days to fit the series in over 5 days with a travel day after games 1 and 2. More than one day off between games is just silly. To get in the playoffs and not have a home game just costs that lower seed much needed home gate revenue....this isn't MLB wild card round. Razz

I am also a proponent of 1-1-1. The higher seed should open on their own floor and have the decider on their own floor as well. I'm sure money and logistics are the reasons given for 1-2 previously and 2-1 now. Given the choice between those 2, I guess that I would prefer 2-1? Neither is great though.

Agreed; if you're not going to do 1-1-1, then 2-1 is the least objectionable of the remaining options.
