In response to H78
Actually, the attendance was pretty good--from what I understand, they sold about 6500 tickets. Had the students been in session and they reduced the ticket price about 1/3, I'm sure it would have sold out. I do not believe it was marketed well for the live event--you obviously do not play the premier game first. The way I would do it is play two double headers on Friday (with the women's during the day-we love them, but that's not the reason people buy the tickets) and a night men's doubleheader. Then the finals in a doubleheader Sunday afternoon.
You'll never get people from all the schools to come to a tournament unless you put all the schools into it. Otherwise, people will make their plans last minute, as happened here.
