In North Carolina, for a 16-team or 12-team tournament, you play Saturday and Sunday the first weekend, Saturday OR Sunday the next weekend, and then Saturday (semi-final) and Sunday (final) the third weekend.
It's OK, but not perfect. In a four-team group you have seeds 1v4 and 2v3, then 1v3 and 2v4, then the last weekend it is 1v2 and 3v4.
That third game between the #3 and #4 seed is often meaningless. Both teams are usually mathmatically eliminated from advancing. There is also no promotion/relegation at stake so you are only playing for pride. If Greenville is the site and #3 is Bridge FA and #4 is Mt. Pleasant....it sure doesn't make a lot of sense does it?
