Hopefully at 11:30 tomorrow I can put the purple and gold one up lol
The tournament is historically double-elimination. One year they sold out to TV though. Ordinarily in a double-elimination tournament, the WOL (Winner of the Losers) has to beat the WOW (Winner of the Winners) twice. However TV didn't want to show 2 games so the WOL had to beat the WOW only once.
I thought I had heard that now they put the 8 finalists into 2 groups of 4, hold a double-elimination tournament for each set of 4, then one game determines the final champion. True?? The website explained only that the 64 finalists get whittled down to 16 and then 8 (what, 2 teams to each of 8 super-regionals, and they play each other best 2 of 3?) but not how the 8 get whittled down to 1.
