There are still some bugs to work out when scheduling the tournament and I am sure they are trying hard to fix them. Just need to make sure not to change things mid-stream, all changes should be done prior to the tourny so not to cause confusion or people making accusations about setting things up in favor of certain schools.

I TOTALLY AGREE 100%.....I WAS JUST INFORMED OF A CERTAIN TEAM IN D2 BEING NAMED THE OVERALL #1 SEED AND THEY ARE HOSTING THE TOURNAMENT (FIGURE THAT ONE OUT). HOW CONVENIENT IS THAT......THINGS LIKE THIS SHOULD BE ADDRESSED WELL BEFORE TOURNAMENT TIME. IT DOES CAUSE PEOPLE TO THINK SOMETHING IS GOING ON. IF THAT IS THE CASE I WOULD CHALLENGE THE "BOARD" AS THEY PUT IT TO EXPLAIN HOW EACH SEED IS DETERMINED FOR EACH BRACKET AFTER THE REGIONAL FINALS ARE COMPLETE. YOU CAN'T USE ONE SYSTEM FOR THE REGIONAL PLAY AND THEN DECIDE TO USE ANOTHER ONE FOR FINALS PLAY SO IT FITS YOUR NEEDS OR A CERTAIN TEAM. THIS IS JUST WRONG AND IT IS UNFAIR.....I HAVE RAN SEVERAL TOURNAMENTS AND SOME OF THEM ON A LARGE SCALE. YOU JUST DON'T CHANGE THE RULES AFTER THE FACT AND THEN EXPECT PEOPLE TO SIT BACK AND NOT VOICE CONCERNS OR SOME GET MAD. PLAY THE TOURNAMENT AS IT IS LAID OUT AND LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAY. YOU CAN'T USE TIME OR TRAVEL EXCUSES NOW BECAUSE ALL THE GAMES ARE BEING PLAYED AT ONE VENUE.....DO YOU ACTUALLY THINK THIS WILL CAUSE TEAMS TO WANT TO GET IN THE PLAYOFF SYSTEM IN THE FUTURE? HOW DO YOU EXPECT TO GROW YOUR TOURNAMENT IF YOU ARE CONSTANTLY CHANGING THE RULES IN MID-STREAM. I'LL STEP DOWN OFF MY SOAP BOX NOW AND LET OTHERS CHIME IF THEY SEE FIT.:HitWall:
