The #3 thru #12 seeds all had very close matches with each other all season long, beating each other. All were very close.

I agree with Regan about need for double elimination.

But I think we would need to stick with a 2-day 16man bracket for Regionals even with 12 teams. I do not think we should ever draw or look at criteria for the 3rd/4th place match at a Regional tournament.

I don't think it can be done in one day with the 5th-Match Rule. There will always be the chance the 6th match would come up.
