I know we have bandied these about before, but I
didn't really pay much attention. Now, with NAQT SCTs
looming, I would like to solicit some help from tournament
format experts:
Currently, we have six Div. I and
six Div. II teams signed up for Southeast SCT at USF.
I figured we could just run a round robin in each
division followed by a double elimination bracket seeded
from the RR. However, someone pointed out that this is
only seven games for some teams (also, everyone hates
the byes in a double elim).
A double round
robin, followed by a round to break ties if needed, was
also suggested. This would be 11 games. That seems
like a pretty good idea, except that such a schedule
for a one-day tourney would run about 9 am to 6 pm --
a pretty long day.
Does any one an
alternative proposals? Thanks for your help.
