Feedback from teams that have done both was that Alliance need a deeper pitching roster.Disclaimer: on a Alliance only team
However, does anyone actually prefer the tournament structure of PGF nationals to Alliance? I think Alliances approach is way better. I think it is an awesome format to have a double elim bracket for two Tier 1 Super Regional Berths, and the bottom two teams go to Tier 2 Supers. Then a double elim bracket for winner take all to get to Elite 8, double elim to get to 3 game championship series.
I've always thought it weird regarding the 3 meaningless scrimmages then into a double elimination tournament.
Lots more opportunity to battle in the tournament in Alliance... My $0.015
Alliance heard that multiple teams dropped out of the losers bracket games because there was no reason to continue playing for a title they could not win ( can't come back from that bracket to eventually win) and their players were burnt out, plus the Heat humidity was a factor.
( there were teams that continued after some teams took the pass and didn't play)
Agree the 3 scrimmage games for pgf may not be the right time or necessary to be doing that. However it gives teams that will lose early the chance to play at least a minimum amount of games.
