To follow that up, here is some of Mary
Oberembt's message #8819:
"'Playoff Format: For ALL
ACUI College Bowl intercollegiate tournaments, the top
four teams, after the completion of round-robin or
modified round robin play, will be seeded in a double
elimination playoff.'
Exceptions to the
double-elimination playoff were granted where the one-day schedule
was such that a full round robin plus the 4-team
double elimination were not possible.
Exceptions
to the round robin vs. modified round robin cutoff
points were granted where there were host rooms and/or
volunteer limitations.
It is ACUI and CBCI's desire
to make all 15 RCTs full round robins with a 4-team
double elimination playoff."
I believe it was
stated elsewhere by others that not all regions were
aware of this rule change, though some may simply have
gone for the one-day exemption. To that I can't
speak.
