Through the years the SEC has grown its baseball championship from 2 teams to 4 to 6 to 8 to 10 and now 12.
The brackets have increased so much we are starting the tournament on Tuesday and it can be hard to figure out if today is single or double elimination.
There’s a lot of problems with this format. For one, you could have as many as seven teams finish the tourney with one loss (including the champion) and the other five have two losses. How does that make sense?
In order to accommodate 12 teams, each of the four games on Tuesday are single elimination.
