The format for the Pac 12 men's championship is different than the NCAA format.
The Pac 12 men's format is 6-count-5 - 6 players each round per team, count the lowest 5 scores. Once Stanford advances to the regional tournament (and they are just about guaranteed to be invited to a regional), the format becomes 5-count-4.
So the Pac 12 tournament may be qualifying for the Stanford players to determine who plays at regionals. Stanford has a solid top 3 in Jeff Swegle, Brandon Wu and Franklin Huang. But you can throw a blanket over the other 3 - Isaiah Salinda, David Snyder and Bradley Knox. Coach Ray will have a tough decision to make to select 2 of those 3.
