[QUOTE="FredJacket, post: 581571, member: 2843"] I am not a big fan of the format myself. But if you are the ACC, you want to put on a tournament that balances several competing priorities... in no particular order: 1) No more than 4 games played by a team over the 6 days. 2) Leave out no NCAA bid "potential" teams. That usually means 10+ teams. 3) Give teams more than a single game to help resume. 4) Attract fans... this is why format produces Sat semi-finals (previous format had pool play thru Sat & no Semifinals round). You guys are right... the format has a lot left to be desired. [USER=4561]@Southpawmac[/USER] probably points out the most egregious. Top seeds (like Tech) end up in a no-win game that can only hurt them wrt committee/ RPI. The SEC has a 12 team tournament. I think I like their format better... but it fails short in some ways too. Namely IIRC... a team can be required to play 6 games to win it. That's too many in my opinion. [/QUOTE]
