2010-11 NCAA Hockey [Winner: HighlanderAttack]

[dowian2]

This weekend's games are out - not many due to finals on college campuses. Standings will be updated during the week this week. Get ready for a bunch of mini-tournaments next weekend

[dowian2]

First of all, congratulations to Alabama-Huntsville (mrb8276) on winning the Rensselaer Holiday Tournament over Thanksgiving!

Updated top 20 (now listed in the second post):
1. Ferris State
2. Dartmouth
3. Holy Cross

This weekend's games include several mini-tournaments. As I've done earlier in the season, I've selected a random tournament-eligible map using random.org for each of these tournaments, which will be played with CC-default settings. The tournaments, teams, and maps are as follows:
Toyota UConn Hockey Classic - #3 Holy Cross, Connecticut, Bowling Green, Princeton - Duck and Cover
Great Lakes Invitational - Colorado College, #13 Michigan State, #20 Michigan, Michigan Tech - Tamriel
Florida College Classic - #17 Miami, Maine, St. Cloud State, Cornell - WWII Eastern Front
Ledyard National Bank Classic - Boston College, Colgate, Mercyhurst, #2 Dartmouth - Unification Italy
Shillelagh Tournament - Brown, Boston University, Minnesota State, #14 Notre Dame - Asia

Good luck, everyone!

EDIT: All of this week's games have been sent (Dec. 29-Jan. 4). Since there haven't been many games since the second weekend of December, I'm going to be a bit more lenient with folks joining games, especially freemiums. So if your opponent doesn't join, be patient

All of this weekend's invites have been sent out. There are just three weekends left after this one before conference tournaments start!

[tiberiusaquila]

Thanks for putting in the work, dowian. Fun tourney!

[dowian2]

Looking for one reserve to take over for American Int'l. Ordinarily, I wouldn't ask for reserves this late in the tournament, but since American Int'l is ranked, I'll allow someone to finish out their season.

[dowian2]

Thanks to mcshanester29 for filling in!

How long before the conference tournaments start?

[dowian2]

The last day of the regular season is March 5. Conference tournaments start the weekend after that (but, of course, I'll have to wait for all regular season games to conclude before seedings will be correct).

Dear Atlantic Hockey,

I hate you.

Love, dowian2
