Arch Madness 2022-23

Assuming no other invites or departures happen within the MVC before Arch Madness 2022-23, does an 11 team league now add one more Thursday game?
Seeds 8/9 would still play along with 7/10, with the winners going on to play the 1 seed and 2 seed respectively. I see a 6/11 game with the winner playing the #3 seed on Friday. In that scenario (and there may be others, this is just the first thought I had), only the top 5 finishers in league play get a bye into Friday.
Other thoughts anyone???

The option with the top 5 seeds getting a 1st round bye would be the most reasonable, IMO.
Maybe another option if there are 11 teams would be a match between the lowest two teams (10-place vs 11-place teams) on the Tuesday or Wednesday prior to the Thursday night games (either in St. Louis or on the home court of the #10 team). The winner would fill the #10 seed, so that the Thursday through Sunday format in St. Louis would remain the same.
Or maybe just eliminate the #11 team to make things simple (ftr, for years the MVC only invited the top 8 teams to the MVC Tournament). This might never need to happen, since IMO by the 2023 Arch Madness I think there will be 12 teams competing.
