An explanation of the Players Era Festival’s schedule and Syracuse’s potential matchups
The Players Era Festival, an 18-team event being held in Las Vegas, is not a traditional tournament with a bracketed field.www.syracuse.com
By the same note, the announcers on TV are interpreting rules sets as well. At no point have we heard from the tournament about the format.
A short prep matchup with Gonzaga or Tennessee would be awesome - tough games, but nothing to lose in a game like that.
Dude imagine being here and trying to plan anything tomorrow or Thursday lol
Exactly, that is the problem, no one knows at this point everyone is saying different things.
I assume at this point I’m not finding out until I wake up tomorrow. I hope TJ and the team have better sources of information. But I’m not confident in that.
I’d love to play Alabama. A team with a better reputation than roster.
On a personal level I want Bama just because I've accumulated a lot of Bama friends over the years and I need to show them up in something
Yea, I'm aware of the source. I've seen that same interpretation a few other places - none of them are official though. Clearly nobody really knows for sure.
It's also odd to me that https://playerserastandings.com/ shows standings by pod. What utility would that have if those didn't matter? But we don't even know who is running those standings, so we're right back where we started.
Because that website is not affiliated with the tournament in any way. It's a guy doing it for his web dev portfolio.
What an embarrassment from this “tournament”. How do you not have a clear set of rules posted and explained so everyone understands? Teams don’t know potential matchups less than 24 hours before they play
My conspiracy theory is the organizers want to hand-pick who is in the money games to drive TV viewership. More people are going to tune in to watch Kansas than Iowa State, for example.
They should be very careful how they do the 3rd round matchups if they want this tournament to be successful and continue on an annual basis.
Does anyone know how they will announce the match-ups for tomorrow? I know it will be after the last game tonight, but I will want to get tickets as soon as I know when we will play.
