Just thinking about the DMG brings back memories (good ones in my case -- the DMG against Fredonia in 2006). It's odd that the NCHA still uses it. Adrian stayed alive today but imagine they'd lost twice this weekend. It would have likely sunk their season. The SUNYAC got rid of the double elimination with a mini-game format to help out their teams' at-large prospects and it was a good decision. It's amazing some conferences still use it in spite of the obvious drawbacks.
I’m not sure I understand your point. If Adrian had lost today in the first game , the DMG wouldn’t have been an issue. Are you advocating for best of 3, or single elimination? Because it’s not really double elimination - at least in the way baseball or softball use that.
I'm advocating for single elimination. It's bad for a team with at-large prospects to need to lose twice in their conference tournament in order to be eliminated.
Edit: I know they don't technically need to lose twice. They can be eliminated by losing once and tying once. Or losing once, winning once, and losing the DMG. But the point is the format allows them to lose more than once, which can hurt a team's at-large potential when the rankings are close.
