Big East
8-4-4 for example with worst 8 seeds playing on day one
The winners play the next 4 worst seeds with those winners playing the best 4 seeds.
That is how is is being done this year.
Yes. All conference tourneys will be done with the same
format as the real conferences. For example, like you say, the top four seeds in the Big East Tournament get TWO byes; also, the Ivy doesn't have a tournament. Most tournaments are simple single-elimination brackets.
The only change to the true tournaments will be the "home court" - all games will be "hosted" by the higher seed rather than going to neutral courts for the finals, as some conferences do. The way I see it, if you've won your conference's regular season, you've earned this right.
