Is this a mistake by the OP? I think results are the overall from the matches vs the school. So they might have won the first set but lost the match which would count as one loss... I think... | ||

First of all, and this obviously applies to us and UCSB the most, but the Ro8 should not be played on Day 1. I know the goal was to end the tournament earlier for teams that came from far away to have time to drive back, but the problem with Ro8 on Day 1 means that some teams are ELIMINATED from the tournament on the first day. Whereas wild card group teams remained in the tournament, teams that did well in group play (Berkeley 3-0, UCSB 2-1) were knocked out before the teams who lost in their groups. For us at least we felt extremely terrible after being eliminated and a bit sad that other teams who did more poorly actually got the privilege to play more. I think playing the Ro8 on Day 2 would not add that much time to the schedule, probably only 1-2 hours, and keeps teams from being eliminated and wanting to leave early. As well, Day 2 probably would end earlier than 8pm anyways since with only 3 rounds being played that should only be 5-7 hours total, and if it's started at 10PM then the tourney would end at around 3PM - 5PM ish. Obviously there are logistical issues that would cause delays but in general I think the tourney would still finish at a reasonable time even with Ro8 being played. *** Especially since 2 of the Ro8 matches weren't even played yesterday, I don't think playing Ro8 yesterday for two matches even saved any time. Secondly, it seems the format rewarded teams who did poorly in groups, which I somewhat already mentioned earlier. As far as I know the teams were seeded #1 for Group A, #2 for Group B, #3 for Group C, and so on. So it doesn't make a ton of sense for WC winners (by default lower seeds) to be playing Group C. Instead, for losing in the original groups, they should be playing the winners of the toughest group, Group A. Losing in the original groups should make advancing more difficult, not easier. With WC vs Group C, the lowest seeds are playing each other, whereas higher seeds Group A vs Group B are eliminating each other. Instead, the format should be Group A vs WC and Group B vs Group C. Perhaps even four normal groups may have been a superior format, 3-3-3-4 groups may have solved the issue with WC rewarding teams who did worse in group play. Overall though we loved the tournament and are really excited for future ones. It was extremely well run, very professional, and really fun. Major props to Duran and Tim for running it (and everyone else behind the scenes)! I hope these tournaments run much more often, as honestly I think they should. When I played volleyball we played tournaments pretty much every other week and it developed the teams / rivalries a lot and wasn't as devastating to teams if they lost in one tournament, as another tournament would be coming up soon for them to prove themselves yet again. I know the logistics for running this kind of tournament are insane, but I would love to see the future of CSL headed in this direction Thanks and I hope you find this feedback useful!------- Actually, on further thought, I don't think Group A vs WC and Group B vs Group C makes much sense either. Teams like San Jose State which likely may have won in another, easier group, would simply play Group A once again in bracket play, which would be a bit unfair. So maybe scrapping the entire wild card group idea would be better. This would mean that teams could be eliminated on the first day though without a second chance. However, I think it's fairer. | ||
