Why not a "stepladder" tournament?
Monday: 7 plays 10 and 8 plays 9 in the opening round at the site of the higher seeds.
Wednesday: 5 awaits the 8/9 winner and 6 awaits the 7/10 winner, with games again played at campus sites.
Friday: 3 hosts the winner of 7-10/6 and 4 hosts the winner of 8-9/5.
Sunday: The tournament reverts to its present format, with the 1 and 2 seeds hosting the survivors at the site of the highest seed.
Tuesday: The championship is staged on the same day and time.

Our tournament is just fine, and twice in the last four years a lower seeded team has upset the tournament host on their home floor, so it's not an insurmountable ladder.

I wish either
A) reseeding before the semis or
B) 3-6-7-10 second round game be played at the 2 seed and the 2 seed host the semi
But I can't complain the current format is much better than the normal bracket with a 8-9 and a 7-10 play in game

Given how hot we and Green Bay have been playing recently, there's a distinct possibility of a UWM/UWGB championship game at the Cell.

In case no one has mentioned it yet, the only possible locations for a Horizon League championship game that involves the Panthers are Cleveland, Detroit and Milwaukee.

For those that want seeding and reseeding, remember: - These are student athletes, you are asking a lot of demands for travel in short period of time.
- Horizon league teams are not wealthy, you are putting a travel cost burden on teams by having them go to various cities wihtin a week period.
- Travel arrangements on short notice put a burden on these programs.
Keep the format as is. It is predictable for the programs, lessens the burden on student athletes and minimizes travel costs. |

The venues could remain the same with re-seeding. It would just mean the lowest seed left plays the highest seed. RiceStillFumbled (best user name on this board btw) just brought up how being the 6 seed could be an advantage. I like our format, but it is flawed in making a 6 seed even arguably more appealing than a 4.

These are real? If so, its hard to say that there's a better value than Green Bay at 50-1. Get past Youngstown State and they don't play a road game until the finals. IMO, they shouldn't be any more a risk than Youngstown. |
