The Horizon has 12 teams. How do they set up their Conference schedule?
How do they format their Conference Tournament?

I could be wrong, but I think the Horizon still does the Friday/Sunday schedule every week to save on travel. Not sure how their tournament is now, but they used to do some sort of crazy double and triple bye format.

How about asking how the Big 12, SEC did with 12 instead of the Horizon?

Do you remember how they did it? How many Missouri Valley teams are former Big 12, SEC teams?

How do they determine which two teams you play only once during that season, or do you not play one team home or away during that season? (If it’s going to be a 20 game Conference schedule). Or could we play a 22 game Regular Season?

It should be a 22 game league season.

Looks like it will end up being 20 and that is fine with me... I would love 16 conference games if everyone would do their part when scheduling, but that is not going to happen.
Just curious... Why do you like 22 games?

The Horizon immediately started scheduling a 22-game double round robin upon Robert Morris and Fort Wayne's entry into the league last year.

The Valley has informed coaches to plan on a 20-game schedule. 2 single-plays, 9 double-plays.

It's going to be 20. Who you miss will be on a random rotation and TV partners will have some say in it as well.

No stupid low major gimmicked tournament. Straight 12 team bracket where the top 4 get byes.
