Which low seed will make a playoff run? 12 questions, answers on the WNBA playoffs – The Athletic[/URL] Should the WNBA do away with single elimination? [B](Answer given) Next season. I think it made sense when the WNBA first organized the playoffs this way, because they were trying to make it exciting and entice new fans. I don’t have an issue with the first-round single-elimination games. They can stay, so that some of that initial win-or-go-home stays. But every round after should be set up as a series. There’s too much talent and good basketball that gets missed with the playoff format as it is now.[/B] I agree that after the 5-8 seeds play single elimination, I wish the second round (involving 3-4 seeds) was 2 of 3 and then semifinals/ finals stay 3 of 5 I recall a discussion a long time ago on BY about this and I think people were saying there would be scheduling issues but for the life of me, cant think why?
