So can we fit 16 more matches into the schedule?
Not to argue semantics, but I tend to think of a match as it is in the seeding rounds - 2:15.
But either way you look at it, it would take over
three times as long if the current two match per contest remained in place.
On the other hand - and using my notion of a match...
The elimination rounds could contain 16
alliances , have only 14 more matches
( twice the current number ), and have a Bronze Medal winner to boot.
How's that? With a modified 16
alliance double elimination tournament. Similar to the ones we see in softball, but modified so that the
alliance that emerges from the winner's bracket finishes first without having to face the
alliances that emerges from the loser's bracket.
It would look like this:
EDIT- to clean up own semantics
