Talk:2009 ACC men's basketball tournament

Seedings and tie-breakers

Could you add a section clarifying seedings like the 2009 Big Ten Conference Men's Basketball Tournament does.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 15:49, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

Since standings are in a table to the right, I've put in prose explaining the tiebreakers and how they resolved, including a link to the ACC policy. —C.Fred (talk) 16:42, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

I added this table earlier, but it was removed because others felt the information was best represented in prose instead. Jober14 (talk) 22:16, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

Seed	School	Record	Tiebreaker
1	North Carolina	13-3
2	Wake Forest	11-5	1-1 vs Duke 1-0 vs North Carolina
3	Duke		1-1 vs Wake Forest 0-2 vs North Carolina
4	Florida State	10-6
5	Clemson	9-7	1-0 vs Boston College
6	Boston College		0-1 vs Clemson
7	Maryland	7-9	2-1 vs Virginia Tech & Miami
8	Virginia Tech		1-1 vs Maryland & Miami
9	Miami		1-2 vs Virginia Tech & Maryland
10	NC State	6-10
11	Virginia	4-12
12	Georgia Tech	2-14

I guess my issue with the table is it's redundant. It looks like we've already got the standings in a table to the right, and two tables is, well, table-heavy. —C.Fred (talk) 23:36, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

I hate pages loaded with tables and little actual written information as well. As I wrote on TonyTheTiger's talk page, I'm indifferent to whether a table is used here or not. I think you did a good job transposing the information from table to written form. Either way I think we've presented the information in a clear fashion. Jober14 (talk) 23:43, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

Exactly. The standings are in the template to the right, the seedings can be seen from the bracket. As a bonus, the comment about Florida State getting their first bye ever tucks nicely into the prose section. —C.Fred (talk) 23:52, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
