Make tournaments more fun, for the skiers or spectators? I think we mean skiers.
If yes, which skiers? Pros, Ex Pros, Big Dawgs, National level skiers, or all skiers.
If we say the crew that attends BOSCP I agree with Horton it works pretty well as it is. But, adding a gambling component is interesting.
How about this, for the BOSCP H2H top seed, they get to pick their opponent from any skier that qualified 9-16. Kinda like playground rules for team selection but backwards. Could make for some fun match ups. Then the 2nd seed chooses from the 7 skiers left and so on. The only somewhat unfair part is the 9th seed has no advantage over 16 even though they earned it in qualifying.
Maybe Not for BOSCP, But I like team events. Collegiate was so much fun.
I think there is a place for the ability placed format John outlined above.
