After watching the games this week, I’m really starting to think the format needs to be reworked.
1. Attendance for the first couple days looks terrible (granted it’s in Brooklyn)
2. It seemed like we had a lot of upsets by teams who had already played and won a game. Is that an advantage?
I’d propose the below format. This format wouldn’t require any team to play more than four games. #1 seed still gets a bye. 2-4 seeds get an early win then a day to rest.
Round 1
Tuesday
1 seed gets a bye
2 vs 15
3 vs 14
4 vs 13
Wednesday
5 vs 12
6 vs 11
7 vs 10
8 vs 9
Quarterfinals
Thursday
1 vs 8/9
2/15 vs 7/10
3/14 vs 6/11
4/13 vs 5/12
Friday/Saturday are the same as now.
Apologies if something similar was already posted. Thoughts, would this work?
