Sooo being second in CUSA with a fairly decent lead over third, and the only person apart from Toledo with a positive record against the Top 20 in CUSA gets me nowhere.

Of course it does...The conference tournament is for the automatic qualifiers. You will get an at-large bid with your record.

Yes, the main tournament (championship event) follows these smaller conference tourneys. If you're in the top 2-3 in your league you should be pretty safe for getting an at-large bid into that.

The winner of each conference tourney gets into the NCAA bracket (9 spots)
The remaining 47 spots will be granted as at-large bids based on record, strength of schedule, etc. A "Selection Show" will go live online announcing the NCAA bracket and those at-large berths.

Oh. My bad. I really need to read things thoroughly.

tourney brackets updated ... new games sent out.

Most tourneys are into the semifinals...here's a push to try to wrap these up quickly. Hoping to get the NCAA bracket going by August 1.

brackets updated...we are into title games in several of the conference tourneys now.

tourney brackets updated...we're into title games in about half of the leagues, so it should just be a matter of days before we start handing out the first batch of automatic bids

SELECTION DAY ANNOUNCEMENT —

I will be running the live Selection Show to announce the NCAA and NIT brackets at 9 a.m. PST/12 p.m. EST on Friday, Aug. 1. Find us in the Conquer Club chat room to see the bracket revealed one region at a time and to join the commentary. Time to find our if your bubble has burst

Toledo are going to beat Evansville with a similar result to last time.

What time is that GMT please?

Looks like that would be 5 p.m. GMT

Thanks mate.

Hi all...I got called into a meeting in the morning that is going to conflict with our Selection Show, so moving that back half-an-hour to a 9:30 PST/12:30 p.m. EST start. See you then, and may your bubble not burst

All right...brackets are uploaded, I will be making contact with coaches shortly and getting out the NIT invites.
Notice I decided to go with a full 64-team championship bracket to bring better balance, while shrinking the NIT to 16 teams.

If your bubble got burst, thanks for playing and I hope to see you back next season.

I will be starting the 2014-15 rendition on time with sign-ups beginning in late October, so look for the link then.

Sent out all tourney matchups for ones that I've heard back on power-ups.

Coaches have until Saturday night to get me their power-up requests. At that point I will use defaults to designate spots and send out the remainder of the matchups.

Good luck as we get under way with the Madness

How is scoring done for March Madness? I remember seeing it posted somewhere, but can't find it now.
