I agree with your thoughts completely Dave. I think that allowing the
number 1 team to choose who it wants to play, would definitely give the
chosen team a great deal of incentive to get fired up. I wonder if this
has ever been tried before, and if so, how did it go? It is definitely
something that maybe the NC$$ should consider.
