Any championship where Stanford is involved is interesting to me.
But I hate the switch to match play in the middle of the championship. It's just a way to introduce randomness at the very end of the tournament. It would be like baseball, after playing the entire season with cumulative scoring, suddenly switching to inning match play halfway through the playoffs. The Giants could lose game seven for the National League pennant with a total score of 20-5 by outscoring the hated Doyers 5-0 in four innings and being outscored 1-0 in five innings, thus losing the match-play game and pennant because we want randomness at the crucial portion of the playoffs. Ridiculous.
I will be watching or following the scoreboard at work as long as Stanford is in it though.
Cheers,
Pete F.
