A tournament system that I believe is missing from the list is the one employed by the Big East for it's basketball tournament. An example of this style is shown in this article about the 2013 tournament. [1]. The advantage of this type of tournament is that, if the games come out as the seeding would suggest, most teams play exactly 2 games. In this tournament style, which can be extended indefinitely by adding one additional round per four additional teams, only 4 teams would be expected to be knocked out after a single game, and only 2 teams, the top 2 seeds, would be expected to play 3 games. So it is a very useful tournament style, but I don't know its name, and haven't seen it employed other than at the Big East. If anybody knows more about this style, please add it to the list. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kenbrey (talk • contribs) 04:04, 13 May 2013 (UTC)Reply
