SEMI FINALS - GAME 1

Lockie 244 lost to Statman 285
DB5 163 lost to Xztatik 308
Division 2
Beantown 293 defeated Bizzy 178
Skip 177 lost to TR 343
We all play each other again. Can the losers force it to 3 games?
I will publish detailed results on google later tonight.

with what apperas to be 2 divisions for the upcoming ABA minor season is it time to re-evaluate our finals process?
Example (I believe these divisions are correct):
Division 1
Forestville
South
Norwood
Sturt
Woodville
Division 2
Centrals
North
Southern
Eastern
West
Lets assume that 1 team is the weakest in the competition by far. For Argument sake we will say west is the weakest (although they are actually one of the strongest overall - men's and women's and I am not starting this to bag any specific club)
The 4 teams in west's conference get an easy 3 wins where the other conference gets only an easy 2 wins. Advantage to the conference with West in it as the premiership table is all a mass of all teams. 4 of these teams get the advantage in the overall competition and have an easier time making finals.
In my opinion (and i know opinions are like buttholes everyone has one and everyone thinks everyone else's stinks) if we are playing in conferences then lets record in conferences.
Top team in each conference gets a first round finals bye (thus the advantage of winning your conference) then set up a finals tournament where D2 second place plays D1 third place the winner goes onto play D1 winner on the other side D1 second place plays D2 third place and the winner plays D2 Winner. The winners from those semifianls meet in a best of 3 finals in a Wednesday/Friday/Sunday championship series.
Please give your thoughts.
Remember I wasn't bagging west.
