Why is it that some Region Tournaments are single elimination and some are double elimination?

But wouldn't it make sense if all Region tournaments were double elimination and the State tournament was double elimination?

I think some regions already are double elimination. It wouldn't work at the state tournament because it has to fit in a three day period.

Why does it have to fit the three day period?

No NDHSAA state tournament lasts longer than three days. It wouldn't be fair to give one sport a double-elimination formation and/or extra days.

How wouldn't that be fair it would mean better games and a more exciting tournament.

Why does a making a tournament double elimination make it more exciting and make the games better?
