Since it’s double elimination supposedly, why do we only have to beat Stanford once to win it all? I thought they hadn’t lost yet in this tourney.

They are following the same pattern as the rest of the post season except that the championship is best of 1 instead of best of 3. Regionals is 4 team double elimination. Super regionals is 2 regional winners playing a best of 3. Doesn’t matter if they had 1 loss or 0 losses in their regional. Same with college World Series. Two 4 team double elimination tournaments with the winner of each moving on to play a best of 3. I agree with some others that pac-12 tourney should be single elimination. At least they didn’t make the championship best of 3. |

Forecast is for a 'cool' 90 degrees at game-time. An absolutely 'chilly' 84 by the 9th inning. Prediction: Best Cold Weather team wins it.

Easy fix to this tournament:
Make it single-elimination. Invite all 11 teams; top two seeds get a bye into the quarterfinals. On Thursday 11 plays 10 and 9 plays 8, with the 11-10 winner facing No. 1 and the 9-8 winner facing No. 2 on Friday, when 3-6 and 4-5 also play. Semifinals on Saturday, championship Sunday.
No one would play more than once a day. No one plays more than three games (just like a conference series), unless one of the 8-11 teams makes the championship round. And the higher seed gets the choice of last ups or not, an advantage earned by superior regular-season performance.
You go one-and-done, tough turkey.
Then even the heat wouldn't be that much of a factor.

I’d say scrap it if it’s single elimination. |

Single could be done with all (11), 2 games/day except Day2. Championship could be one or 2 of 3 over two days. A 4 or 5 day affair. Similar to...
Pigtail games 1st day:
G1: 8 vs 11
G2: 9 vs 10
Day 2:
G3: G2 w vs 1
G4: G1 w vs 2
G5: 4 vs 5
G6: 6 vs 7
Day 3:
G7: G3 w vs G6 w
G8: G4 w vs G5 w
Day 4:
G9: G7 w vs G8 w (done or...)
Day 5:
G10: G7 w vs G8 w
G11: if necessary
*Home teams determined by regular season series between the teams

I would say scrap the divisions and just play a straight 8 team double elimination. You win your first 3 in a row and you’re the champs.

Thursday: 11 v 10; 9 v 8; 7 v 6. Losers out.
Friday: 1 v W10-11; 2 v W 9-10; 3 v W 6-7; 4 v 5; four survive and advance.
Saturday: Quarterfinal winners v winners, only two survive
Sunday: Semifinal winner v winner for the championship.
Some teams might only play once. Big deal, no one complains about one-and-done at the basketball tournaments.
