New Style Bracket

I don't know if anyone really cares about this but I found it interesting that NBA.com and ABC would change the sytle of the bracket. I think it's pretty cool, it kind of reminds me of a karate tournament bracket.

Cool layout. The brackets also create "rings" so to speak for each level of advancement. I also think it's interesting that if some major comebacks are waged, it is possible to have an All-ABA final four.

Maybe someone could give me a lesson on "Re-seeding 101". Is this an NHL thing that they do?

Yes. At the conclusion of the first round, the deck is shuffled so that the highest remaining seed in each conferences plays the lowest.

The teams get re-ranked, sort of, after each round...

Therefore if #1, #3, #5, and #7 wins it'll be 1 vs 7, and 3 vs 5... whereas if that happened in the NBA it'd be 1 vs 5, 3 vs 7.

The NHL re-seeds the teams after each round, so the lowest reminaing seed plays the highest one. Had the Bruins advanced against Montreal, as seed #2 they would have played #3 Philadelphia, and #1 Tampa would have played #4 Toronto/#5 Ottawa. But since #7 Montreal advanced, #1 played #7, and #3 played #4.

I get it now. Thanks guys! Once I think about it I kind of like the NHL way better than the NBA. It really makes a lot more sense.

if they did it that way in the NBA then Stern could basically gaurentee a good finals and he wouldn't have to go through the messy process of setting up these conspiracys people always talk about.

Did some of you end of creating some brackets that look like this one?

i dont like re-seeding. to me a strict bracket is more convienient for the fans. i always hated it in the NFL esp. perhaps its not as bad in the NHL where you can usually just throw out seeds to begin with. think about it, if we could have NFL playoff office pools. how awesome would that be.

by the way, whatever became of the plan to go to 7 teams per conference in the NFL

I like this bracket - I know that EZstreet is the 'bracketman', I hope he looks at this style. I really like it!
