After months of deliberation by the Tournament Management Committee on the the MIAA Football Committee’s proposal to revamp the season schedule, the action-item was voted down 15-1 on Wednesday.

It didn’t take long for the verdict to be announced.

The proposal would have extended the fall slate to consist of 11 regular season games, cut the amount of teams qualifying for postseason play from 16 to eight per division, and pushed all tournament play until after Thanksgiving Day.

While previous TMC meetings have brought about discussion surrounding the proposal, Wednesday only provided a vote with all members clearly decided.

“I polled our district, which consists of the Bay State League, Tri-Valley League, and Hockomock, and the vote from athletic directors was 33 to 1 against,” Wellesley athletic director John Brown said afterward.

The vote came as minimal surprise to those who had been tracking the process. Tournament Management Committee members, representing the various districts across the Commonwealth, had expressed concerns in extending the football season and potentially altering the sports calendar.

“There are parts we agree with but without the MIAA changing the sports calendar it’s not something that would really work,” Brown said. “The season is just too long with it going well after Thanksgiving. It’s hard enough for some teams to find games and maintain numbers.”

The lone vote in favor of the proposal was Oakmont athletic director Eric Dawley.

Additionally, the TMC shot down a pair of unanimous proposals from the MIAA Basketball Committee. The first would have altered the tournament format to hold Round of 8 games at neutral sites.

As currently constituted, the higher seed maintains home-court advantage until the state semifinals. TMC director Shaun Hart discussed how changing the format required further discussion as it would likely compel other sports to want to do the same. The vote on the matter was 13-4 against. The TMC also voted down having a state assignor for officials beginning with the Round of 8, 12-8 against.

One key action item approved by the TMC was a 17-1 vote in favor of adopting replay for the ice hockey state championships at the TD Garden. The review will be initiated by on-ice officials, not by coaches’ challenge. The move toward replay came about following last year’s Division 1 state final in which St. John’s Prep won on a controversial goal at the final buzzer.

The TMC approved a change in the ice hockey tournament that implements a shootout in the state championship game to determine a winner in the event of a tie after three overtime periods.
