A 60 point blowout in the post season is the same as a 60 point blow out in the beginning of the season. The only difference is that if you ever want the later rounds you HAVE to have done the earlier rounds. But do not equate just doing a playoff game as gaining any gainful experience. You can do that over the regular season. Its just a necessary step in the process and IMO doesnt help you, nor does it hurt.
I dont mean to take away from your excitement but temper your expectations with the reality of the situation.

"Sorry Mr. Assigner, I'll have to turn down this JV playoff game in my 2nd year. I know you just need warm bodies and I won't really gain any experience working THIS lower level playoff game
Just kidding, I hear what you're saying, but I would still take the game and enjoy it and work as hard as I could and learn as much as I could from my partner!
