So it looks like the pairs championship is single elimination, Top 2 teams from each team only. So that's actually manageable schedule wise (as opposed to silver/bronze bracket stuff).

I never liked the silver/bronze pairs. I don't think the winners walk away from them thinking they just won something big. They're more like a consolation prize.

Is it true double-elim, or is the match between the 0-loss winner's bracket team and the 1-loss loser's bracket team winner-take-all?

I think Fobra is correct. I remember reading an article saying that championship match is winner-take-all, with no double-final.

Is USC streaming the non-televised matches?

Huh. So the only upset in the entire first round was that #10 beat #7 (in 3 sets). And in the second round, with one pairing left, everything has gone perfectly according to seed.
Is that an indication of a lack of "parity"?

So, that's the way it finished. In two rounds (12 matches total), there was only one match that didn't go according to seed, and that was only a mild upset (7 over 10). Does this mean anything?
I certainly wouldn't expect a PAC-12 indoor tournament to go according to seed 11 out of 12 matches. But in any given year, of course it might.

Right now, there's a pretty big fall off in talent and/or experience after USC, UCLA, and Arizona's top pairs. It's going to take some time for the Norcal/Northwest programs to catch up. In my mind, there was one significant upset, and that was ASU #1 beating USC #2, even if the seeding didn't reflect it. Even though there weren't many surprises, it was an interesting day - it was the first time I've seen Cal, Stanford, UW, and Oregon in person this season.

Geddy can you give us updates on the team competition too, if you are there?
