A number of people have made format suggestions
over the past few weeks and months for different
tournaments.
My question is this: for the "national"
tournaments---ACF, CBI, NAQT, and Penn Bowl---how many matches
should each team be guaranteed? Is there such a thing as
"too many" games? If so, how many? How many is too
few? And how many matches should the winning team
play?
By way of comparison from last year:
Format:
"Guaranteed" matches**/Matches played by winning
team
ACF: 16/19
CBI: 15/18
NAQT: 15/14
Penn Bowl:
14/18
[**Guaranteed for the majority of teams NOT in contention for
the championship.]
