Re: Regionals Tournament Formats

Seems to me like this is a problem with the tournament director not scheduling enough games, not a problem with the format. Even with pool play, you go into brackets on sunday. Just make sure the TD schedules consolation games...

I'm in total agreement here...

We (Dalhousie) made it to Regionals last year in Rhode Island (Brown's
region)...

We lost our first game, won the 2nd, and lost the 3rd...
So there we were...after driving something like 17 hours, we got to
play 3 games, and had to turn around and drive back to Nova Scotia...

I totally agree...why make regionals so different? If someone can
explain it to me, that would be great...why not just make it like the
sectionals format (maybe it's because more than 2 teams have to
qualify), but there's gotta be a better way than all teams paying the
same amount of money, and then some teams play 2 games; others play
7...

Just a thought...
