But am I the only one who thinks it’s idiotic to allow every single team into the tournament? Seems to me you should have to be at least Top 8 or 10 to be awarded the opportunity to compete in the tournament for an NCAA bid.
I think the whole gauntlet tournament format is idiotic. If you wanna protect your top two seeds then give them a buy to the semis. Cut it to 10 teams. Seeds 3-10 play first round then quarters.
