MVC Tournament Format - Whining Honk Kong Fu Fans
Posted: May 26th, 2013, 12:49 pm
I find it interesting that Redbird fans are whining about the tournament format not being double elimination and being fair. You all voted for this format - WSU didn't, they wanted a real 6 team, traditional double-elimination format.
But the rest of the valley wanted"
1. "all teams" included (thus 8 teams instead of 6) - it is embarrassing for a program to not make the MVC tournament.
2. a tournament format that all teams had chance to win (thus stretched over longer period - so pitching isn't taxed as much)
3. No double elimination (requires deeper staff)
so you got what you wished for, not sure why you are complaining.
