Ok...just want to make sure im right here...might not be...usually arent...

If two teams cannot agree on a neutral site and decide to flip home and home, all the teams have to do is establish ahead of time what their home field will be right? For instance, if Southlake were to flip with someone, they could designate Texas Stadium as their home field cant they. They dont necessarily HAVE to use their home stadium.....


AND...

If Team A and Team B were to flip home and home and Team A wins the flip, if the two teams play again in the playoffs in the next two years (making it where they play twice in 3 years) then Team B automatically gets to play at their Home field right?

the reason I ask is this....and Im pretty sure they can do this...Team A is pretty dead set on wanting to play at Home....Team B wants to play at a neutral site.....

Team A and Team B cannot agree on a Neutral site. Team A and Team B decide to flip "home and home". Team A designates their home staium as their HOME. Team B (a team that is about an hour east of Team A) designates their HOME stadium as a stadium that is another hour east of them making it a LONG drive for Team A if Team B were to win the toss....

They can do this I believe but im not 100%

They can do this I believe but im not 100% Texarkana Texas High did that to Highland Park. HP refused to play anywhere but Texas Stadium, so they went to coin flip and played at Independence Stadium in Shreveport, LA.

if two teams are about to play one another and in the two previous seasons if the two played and did a home and home flip then the previous loser would then be the winner. So it actually does mean if they are to play twice in a 3 year span....

In 2005 if Canyon would of beat AW the rumor was Gainesville and Canyon was gonna flip for home and home because Canyon didn't wanna meet in the middle. The story goes that Gainesville listed the Alamodome as their home stadium since Canyon refused to meet half-way. It would of been interesting to see what would of happened.

That's a whole lot of "if's". What is your source level?

It was on another website with a link to the Gainesville Daily Register. Can't remember what website it was.

the UIL Football Manual says that the team can designate any stadium as their Home Stadium as long as its a "reasonable" distance from the opposing school....

What is the definition of "reasonable" in this case??

Canyon did same thing to LE in 06. They won coin flip and we played in Sweetwater. That was one cold game.. of course it was alot colder on their side about the third qtr.:D

That was part of HP dispute with T High. HP claimed S'port was too far and would cause a hardship on their fans, but they also said that they did not want to play in a stadium that seated less than 30,000. UIL said either play or forfiet.
