If you come in 2nd or lower in your District, you have to face your District champion( or the team who beat them) in the Quarterfinals. I love the way the Texas playoffs work once they are up and running. I love no preferential treatment for anyone, within reason. There are District seeds, but they go in set places on the brackets. I like that too.
That Bi-district game for the 0-10 team is a bitch, and some will forfeit the game to avoid going through the drill of getting lit up by 50pts. I've also seen young teams or a team with early injury setbacks get healthy or find their stride and make noise in the POs. 4th place in to of these 7-8 team Districts are not necessarily shitty teams. I think the solution is mandating 6 teams per district, but geography-wise, that could ultimately suck for more people in a big way, both financially and impact on staff and students.
i don't really have a lot of grief over the current setup, but 6 team districts would be my request, or make 4 team Districts play double round robin.
