Seedings and tie-breakers

[edit]

Could you add a section clarifying seedings like the 2009 Big Ten Conference Men's Basketball Tournament does.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 15:49, 13 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Since standings are in a table to the right, I've put in prose explaining the tiebreakers and how they resolved, including a link to the ACC policy. —C.Fred (talk) 16:42, 13 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I added this table earlier, but it was removed because others felt the information was best represented in prose instead. Jober14 (talk) 22:16, 13 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I guess my issue with the table is it's redundant. It looks like we've already got the standings in a table to the right, and two tables is, well, table-heavy. —C.Fred (talk) 23:36, 13 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I hate pages loaded with tables and little actual written information as well. As I wrote on TonyTheTiger's talk page, I'm indifferent to whether a table is used here or not. I think you did a good job transposing the information from table to written form. Either way I think we've presented the information in a clear fashion.

Exactly. The standings are in the template to the right, the seedings can be seen from the bracket. As a bonus, the comment about Florida State getting their first bye ever tucks nicely into the prose section. —C.Fred (talk) 23:52, 13 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
