I like the idea of keeping it at 5 days. 6 days is too many.
I say invite all except the bottom 2. That keeps it a 5-day tournament:
Weakling Wednesday
#9 vs. #16
#10 vs. #15
#11 vs. #14
#12 vs. #13
2nd Round
#5 vs. #12/#13 winner
#6 vs. #11/#14 winner
#7 vs. #10/#15 winner
#8 vs. #9/#16 winner
Quarterfinals
#1 vs. #8/#9/#16 winner
#2 vs. #7/#10/#15 winner
#3 vs. #6/#11/#14 winner
#4 vs. #5/#12/#13 winner
Semis on Saturday, finals Sunday, as usual.
I see both sides of the argument, but I can't imagine a six-day tournament beginning only two days after the regular schedule wraps up. I do like the idea of multiple venues, but which cities could actually do that? I've been to music festivals with multiple venues, but it's all been within walking distance.Expense factor is BS. The conference is getting paid billions. It can foot the bill for an extra night in a hotel. Major poke in the eye to oppressed players who are the driving force behind the money.
