Over on the "suggestions" forum, there's a thread on proposed improvements to online Strat. One of the ideas being debated is changing the playoff semi-finals from a 5-game series to a 7-game series. What's your opinion?

7 games!!! And while we're doing that, seed the teams as well.

Either that and go old school and have 2- 6 team divisions and have the division winners play in a winner take all 7 game series. Before 1994, this was the format for the National League's 12 teams.
or
Same format but 2 wildcard team (the two best non-division winners) with best of seven for both series.

[b:7bf3910adb]Seven.[/b:7bf3910adb] Eliminates some of the randomness and allows the better team to have a little more advantage.
Don't like seeding and this is why. Winning your division is important. Seeding would lesson the fun and challenge of winning the division. With seeding you may as well play one 12 team division.. I think the divisions are a good thing. A division champion should not be 4th seed and a team who finshed 2nd in their division be a higher seed.

This may be going old school, but you sound like "Death" after he lost at Battleship.
Bill and Ted: "Best of seven?"
Death: "Damn right!"
