However, the first-to-last listing lacks the context of the tournament; READ: boring. Team's seed should be posted in addition to the tournament's final results. Sure, seed numbers can be found with some clicking into bracket play, but - just like score reporting - the more provided context of ultimate tournament results, THE BETTER.
The specific context is providing an understanding of how teams performed (final results) compared to its preliminary ranking (seed).
Here are snapshots of how posted tournament results can be improved. Displayed are the same 1-to-10 final results (right column) including the teams' seed (left column) plus a visual indication (green = broke seed; red = finished lower than seed).
Any other ways to improve posting of tournament results? Please share.

Add each team's record for the weekend?
Weekend records (Win-Loss) with point differentials (+/-) would be excellent additions.
