Home and Away Game Format for NCAA Season 88th- Your thoughts?

[vricks14]

According to Mike Abasolo's tweet, there is a recommendation to use the home and away game format for the next ncaa season. Kindly post your thoughts and comments regarding this matter?

[ylle45]

lahat ba ng gyms can accomodate all spectators? paano kung big games na? I don't agree with this one, kung noong FMC nga may gulo na.

neutral venues lang please.

[AltarBoy^_^]

Factors to consider before pushing through with a Home & Away format:

1. VENUE/HOME GYMS

> Are the gyms well-maintained? Do they pass standards?
> Can it accommodate enough spectators from both sides plus their respective cheering squads?
> Is the venue accessible for both fans coming from public and private vehicles?
> Locker Rooms for both sides?
> Will it disrupt students who have classes if the venue is situated at the heart of the campus?
> Is the venue easily covered by AKTV for NCAA viewers on TV?

SECURITY

> Is there adequate personnel to prevent a melee for all schools?
> Will the league provide additional or auxiliary police to all schools?
> Will they ban spectators from drinking while watching like in San Juan Arena?
> Can they extend security measures from the venue to the parking lot?

LOGISTICS

> Can AKTV cover games from two different Home venues one after the other?
> Can AKTV balance both H&A coverage game plus a pro basketball game afterwards?


I can see some good points about this format but I don't see it feasible for basketball games, but maybe for other sports. Or they could utilize this format for pre-season training like the HAIL. Maybe like an NCAA B-League for the transferees and recruits. MANCOM will have to do their homework about venues, and there are 10 home venues that must be established first.

Seriously? Ngayon pa talaga naisip na gawin to after what happened?

Knowing the incident that happened on San Beda gym!

I don't think this is a good idea!

For the preservation of PEACE in the NCAA, let's stick with the current format.

not all schools may gym na maayos

[redcub16]

siguro home and away yung tipong kung anong mas convenient para sa home team na neutral arena like kunwari SBC, JRU, SSC-R and etc. sa The Arena tapos yung Letran, CSB, UPHSD and etc. sa MOA arena, parang ganun. Gets ba? o sabog pagka-explain. hahahaha

I g0t what your saying, kumbaga yung schools na malapit sa The Arena & Big Dome, yun yung magiging Home nila. Then schools near SM MOA & Cuneta, yun yung magiging Home nila. tama ba yung interpretation ko?

ang tanong ko, what if schools near (let's say The Arena? ang maglaban, sino dun sa dalawa yung Home & sino yung Away?


repost ko lang yu g post ko dun sa kabilang thread.

maganda yan if they can assure us na wala nang mangyayaring brawl katulad nung nangyari sa baste & sbc last december. tipid yan lalo sa mga magkakatabing schools. yun nga lang, not all schools have a descent gym that can accommodate all the spectators. siguro maganda yung Home & Away format kapag weekdays yung games tapos kapag weekends dun na tayo sa SM MOA ARENA or sa Big Dome.

[vricks14]

Tingin ko ang mga gym lang na malaki capacity at papasa sa standard is San Beda, yung EAC medyo malaki din at maganda. Pero yung ibang schools di ko na alam. If you have a picture of your gym kindly post here. Maganda yung weekdays home and away para sa mga students at yung weekend naman sa alumni, fans and students din.

I think I get what you're trying to say here. It's like a North vs South/East vs West H&A format. But it could complicate the Dark & Light uniforms for each team if the schedule does not necessarily follow the H&A Venue format. So yes, it's going to be sabog if not well-planned.

MANCOM will have to fix the whole sched for the 1st round and then adjust accordingly by Round 2. And of course, Round 2 is another matter altogether if teams do not have enough time to rest. I do believe the schedule from last season's 2nd round was not exactly accepted without complaints by some schools.

[vricks14]

I really wonder what will gonna happen if Baste will play at St. Placid and San Beda @ Letran..hahaha.. at syempre sa ibang schools din kung mangyari man ang home and away siguradong laging puno ang venue at masaya!

Our gym in CSB is not exactly spacious if I remembered it correctly. It doesn't have a 2nd floor either for extra spectators. I think the maximum capacity for our gym is around 200-400. And I think the years have not been kind to the place since it was created back in the mid-90's. Most of our PE classes were held there besides the wrestling for slots of other athletes in other sports that have their training within it. And since it is situated right at the heart of our Main Campus, a lot of classes will have to be disrupted. And they can't accommodate most of the Benildeans who would be disrupted either.

Not unless the school acquired a new property and created a Sports Building like DLSU did. I think if CSB opted to renovate the RMC (which I believe to be a risky thing with PSC), they will have a venue that they can call their HOME. For sentimental reasons of course, that's where we first got our crown.

And again I'm concerned for AKTV's coverage if this format pushes through. 4 teams will have to share a HOME venue for a particular day or two HOME venues? Logistically not feasible. Added expense on their part since they will cover other sports or the juniors as well. But MOA-Cuneta and San Juan-Araneta would be a nice set-up for H&A if MANCOM can fix the schedule and AKTV doesn't object.

this will not happen sa basketball games. security nightmare yan.

maganda pa rin maglaro sa neutral venues. hindi lang sa basketball, sa all sports na rin.

[riou18]

^^ woaahh slow down AKTV teka wag ka muna magexperiment ng ganyan! ok ka na eh magbibigay ka na nga ng weekend games eh. Una wag nila pagpilitan ikumpara ang mga gym dito sa mga gym sa NCAA USA, aminado tayo mga skwelahan don kayang magpatayo ng mga gym na kasing laki ng cuneta at araneta, neutral venue lang muna tayo yun na ang tradition dito makikita kung sino talaga ang mga students at alumni na loyal sa team nila at mamarcha mula sa school at mga bahay nila. Tulad nga ng sabi ko dati problema na nang mga school yan kung bakit nilalangaw ang mga crowd nila so sila dapat magpromote niyan sa mga students nila. Gumawa na nga ang NCAA ng move para matulungan thru gaining access to weekend games pati ba naman sa pagdraw ng crowd sila pa mamomroblema. Integrate the school loyalty and fanaticism in other ways wag yung "NIREREQUIRED" sila manood para sa grades. And promote it to the alumni by giving season passess or watever gimiks or promos they can give.

[buddyclub]

other things to consider is yung parking. lahat ba ng schools kaya mag accommodate ng magpapark na auto sa lobo or sa labs ng campus? also young security though NCAA will have its own naman during games diba.

yung 2 venue ok yun. kung ano na lang yung malapit sa mga schools na naglalaban. MOA Arena and The Arena will do.

@ altar - kung masikip sa gym, eh di sa Plaza v.. Para mas madaming manuod..


actually may na-acquire nga na lot sa main campus pero restaurant ata ng mga hrim studes gagawin dun.. sayang sana dapat meron din sa akic or sda..

meron din pala na-acquire na lot sa tabi ng central, kaya lang ginawang parking lot *** ng mga csb bus dun.. pwede sana gawin gym natin, after ng game diretso na central..

[AltarBoy^_^]

Gawa na lang sana ang admin natin ng Sports Center building na may kumpletong facilities for different sports including a workout gym at pwedeng gamitin ng alumni. Malay mo yung parking lot eh nag-aantay lang ng pondo mula sa tuition na makukuha nanaman.

[mac04]

^ according to my bro (hrim), papatayuan daw ng bagong building but how i wish it would be a sports complex, parang pang-masters something daw para sa mga hrim studes yun purpose nun..

Baby steps muna tayo!

Anyway going back to the topic at hand, it would be better if the neutral venues act as home and away turfs but for the moment, we will have to rely on the Dark vs Light schedule so as to avoid confusion. Geographically speaking, we have to establish schools that will represent the south/west or north/east and their locations are not exactly not far apart.

Can we first define where the 10 schools are located through this thread?

swerte lang ang Lyceum, Letran and Mapua matches magkakatabi lang

memorable ang Lyceum gym dahil diyan nangyari ang 1 closed door UAAP basketball game dati
