2011 USSSA Conference Championships Bracket | |||||||
This bracket was inspired by the Big East College Basketball Tournament and as you can see it favors the higher seeded teams as it should. | |||||||
This allows all teams that qualify for the Conference Championships to play for the title. | |||||||
Teams seeded 9-16 by Conf Points have to play in the first round and if they lose in the first or second round they drop to the 'A' bracket. | |||||||
Teams seeded 5-8 by Conf points get a bye from the first round but if they lose their first game they drop to the 'A' bracket. | |||||||
Teams seeded 1-4 by Conf points can only play in the Major part of the bracket. | |||||||
Teams that start in Round #3 or make it to round #3 will stay in the Major bracket for the whole weekend and cannot drop to the 'A' bracket. | |||||||
The 8 teams that make it to Round #3 of the Major all earn more points for the weekend than any team that drops to the 'A' bracket. | |||||||
The Conference points earned towards the Major World Series seeding are in the table to the right —> | |||||||
