Yesssssssssssssss
It's not just BBL, T20 finals need to be rethought in all leagues. It's a very short (compared to 50 over) games, one player can have a great day and win the whole thing. 8 from 8, and then out after a semi - just doesn't make sense to me. You want the best two sides fighting out the final(s) and it's played out over one game? You can nearly compared T20 to baseball - they don't have "best of 1" game for finals and T20 shouldn't either. Just my 2 cents (yes I'm a Melb Stars fan)

Given that the Stars have failed to win a knockout game in their history I don't think they have a right to complain tbh.It's not just BBL, T20 finals need to be rethought in all leagues.

I actually don't have a problem with it because teams don't play the same number of games against each opponent and have players coming and going from the squad throughout the regular season.It's not just BBL, T20 finals need to be rethought in all leagues.

Probably not - but where did they finish in prior seasons - having won 8 from 8? Has any team every gone through undefeated?
If I remember correctly (I probably don't) - Heat won from 4th last year - did they deserve to be the winners? Well if they won from 4th all it proved is that they were the better team on the day, not the better team for the competition and how did that end for them when they played in the IPL?
If you are going to use this as qualification for a major tournament, you want the best teams playing, not the teams that just scraped into the finals and then had their two best games of the year within in the space of 1 week. Just saying
That is something else I don't get about BBL - why the hell wouldn't they just play a standard round robin tournament? Granted to do it fairly you'll have to play a home + an away game against each team, but why 8 matches so that one team is forced to play against the strongest teams twice while every other team doesn't play them twice. I'm guessing the problem comes back to 8 teams - so if you did a 1 round round robin you'd have every team playing 7 games, so some would get 3 home 4 away and others would get 4 home 3 away. Either make it an odd number of teams or do a proper home and away round robin tournament when everyone plays everyone home & away.
