Make it 16, 32, 48, 64. Whatever seems to work. Play every other night until you get beat. Fans could have a good time out in the desert for about 10 days of running the tournament. It might not make any money, but it sure would be more fun for the teams and fans who went.

I for sure would attend.


Wouldn't that basically be the same thing as the CBI?

No one is going to run an event that is a for sure money loser.

And herein lies the problem with any mid major event anyone can try to put together. Where does the cash come from and what company thinks its worth their time and money to put their name on it.

For example - if you run a 16 team, single elimination event you are going to pay over $100,000 for referees alone.
