I saw this on the standings page the other day. On the one hand, I kind of like that they are doing something to address schedule strength disparity since not every team plays every other team twice. On the other...I hate the thought of a theoretical 14-4 league record landing you behind a 12-6 record due to the teams played...
So I'm on the fence. I personally think I would rather see a divisional format (North/South or East/West) where you play everyone in your division twice and the other division once and then seed the tournament with the top x # of teams from each division plus the next y # of best records. But then again, you probably need more than 12 teams to do that since that would only end up giving you 16 conference games. I guess the main thing is that they're trying SOMETHING to address the issue, so that's a positive.Last edited by kdubnation; 01-02-2020, 03:58 PM.

With 12 men's basketball teams, there's nothing preventing the GMAC from doing a 22-game double round robin. Plenty of D2 conferences play 22-game schedules.
As for the point system, I don't think it's an improvement on just using conference record.
Incidentally, the GLVC has been using this system for the last couple years. I think the now-defunct WVIAC did something similar.
