[QUOTE="FredJacket, post: 313740, member: 2843"] You make valid points. If you're the ACC, you must deal with trade offs on picking format. You focused on one pool in laying out your "better" schedule. Not sure you can repeat that sequence over 4 days/4pools...hurts my head to figure that out. I looked back to previous 3 tournaments. There are 15 total games in both formats. My goal was to find "meaningless" games in that format. I concluded that each year (out of 15 games total) there were 2 meaninglessness games... of the 15. I'm pretty sure it's mathematically possible in that old for format to have more (or less) meaningless games. I found 2 for each of the 3 tournaments I looked at....but I could have missed something. In this format (and chosen sequence), your are locked into 4 meaningless games (out of 15). No more...no less. Here's where you weigh the trade offs: New format: Saturday games will matter for sure. Old format: Meaningless games came late in pool play. Always on Friday or Saturday (usually Sat). New format: No play in games among bottom 4. Each teams guaranteed to play twice. Old format: While the play in games among bottom 4 were not meaningless (by definition).... they were starting the tournament & an entire day of baseball less than interesting. [/QUOTE]
