The wheels are about to come off. Georgia just lost to Arkansas and will also lose to Florida in the Finals of the San Fran Classic.

Arkansas has started horribly but is over .500 against top 25 teams including taking out the last unbeaten. Arkansas hopes to rebound in conference play on its home court.

Creating games today, I just noticed that the ACC has five teams in the top-20...yikes...power conference alert :!:

Standings and top-20 rankings are updated ... Kansas State remains the No. 1 team, while Pittsburgh has soared up the rankings to the No. 2 spot.

I played two rounds and won both 2-1. My second round match was against Syracuse. Am I missing something?

you won 2 of 3 maps, but lost by a point in the scoring breakdown, so Syracuse advanced to the title game.

I was going to start an argument, but I won't bother. This is basically a system that favours someone who gets lucky and finishes a game quickly, even though they lose the other two. It doesn't even come into play often enough to be justified. And yes, I was aware of the system before joining, I just didn't think it would have such an effect that I would be prevented from getting to a mini-tournament final even though I won my set 2-1. :lol:

Apart from that I am enjoying the tournament, and I'm very glad the map and settings I use ensure nearly all games finish after a similar amount of rounds. Since I've won all my home sets 3-0 it's not been a problem, however I did just lose a game so I only won 2-1, but thanks to the settings they all finished within a round or two of each other.

It's a whole other way of playing... like running down the clock to ensure your win. I like it.

I can see how it can be frustrating to win 2 of 3 and lose the matchup, but yes, TC nailed my intention which is to bring another element of strategy into the game play.

Just a heads up that I've started a new tournament to follow the Major League Soccer season...it follows a similar scoring format as College Hoops...here's a link...

Standings update to reflect a correction in the ACC and Big-12 (stupid excel glitches)...thanks for the heads up Crown

is to inform you that iona took the series from Marshall

flexmaster33 · Post by **flexmaster33** » Mon Mar 17, 2014 2:36 am

Standings updated...Florida State remains the top team in the land...halfway through the season, so now is the time to make your move for a solid spot in your conference tourneys

flexmaster33 · Post by **flexmaster33** » Wed Mar 19, 2014 6:45 pm

Wow...the ACC is packed. Sent out the last batch of games and noticed that league is filling up half of the top-10. :shock:

iAmCaffeine · Post by **iAmCaffeine** » Thu Mar 20, 2014 4:51 am

Still a couple good guys from CUSA in there.

May the real Madness begin ... going against everything I love about the tournament and picking overall #1 Florida for my champ this year.

Question? There are no 12 hour rule in this tournament for Fog games.

flexmaster33 · Post by **flexmaster33** » Sun Mar 23, 2014 5:27 pm

nope...that's just a CC courtesy.
I find some players aren't aware of that notion, and it's simply too hard to enforce tournament-wide, especially in a tourney of this size.

flexmaster33 · Post by **flexmaster33** » Tue Mar 25, 2014 2:47 am

Standings are updated along with a fresh top-20 that has Brown coming out on top for the first time this season in a tight battle among the top three teams.

I'm on vacation the next few days, so take some time to catch up on games and I'll get the Game 19 set out late Wednesday night.
