Higher seeded teams first

edit

This is what we do with Philippine sports articles do for years. Why are we switching teams over? WP:RS are mostly random. Spin.ph's scoreboard has the higher seed team first in both semifinals round 2 games. ABS-CBN Sports is different switching it around. The advantage of the higher seeded team first is clarity and straightforwardness; there are no home court advantages here, and any advantages to the designated "home team" is negligent for the most part. (If you think first choice of uniforms is an advantage, then that's a problem.) Howard the Duck (talk) 02:31, 16 November 2019 (UTC)Reply

If this has been applied for years, then why UAAP volleyball articles don’t follow this “guideline”? 112.205.115.42 (talk) 15:30, 16 November 2019 (UTC)Reply
They were until people messed up things. It makes for following the tables much harder to understand, and implies the team listed first has an (dis)advantage of some sort.
To further show the absurdity here, ABS-CBN Sports lists UST as the "home team" for Game 1, while Spin.ph lists Ateneo as the home team. Who wins? Howard the Duck (talk) 15:58, 16 November 2019 (UTC)Reply
