Leagues are set. Had to do a bit of a hybrid to make it balance out, but it's pretty nice overall. 68 teams. One champion. Who will it be?

I'm working on schedules this week, and we'll get underway over the weekend or by next Monday

[flexmaster33]

And here's our Preseason Top-20 rankings...(We will roll with these until we get to week 4, then we'll put out the first RPI rankings, which are based off in-season results and schedule)

Game 1s sent out...Kentucky has a first game bye.

There might be a glitch in one of the matchups with the random maps, but I'm having trouble finding it right now. We'll sort that out once players have joined up on the games.

Good luck everyone!!!

I'll be working through schedules and stuff over the weekend. Hoping to get more of that posted early next week.

Hey all, if we have Railroad fans in the mix...I've got a simple (best-of-5) tourney that has four spots to fill...

This is an intense tourney, so I'm a bit behind on standings. Hoping to get those posted on Monday with our updated results.

Also note, Game 3s mark the start of our League Showdowns. Just for bragging rights, but we'll have all teams in one league take on all teams in another league.

Thanks for taking this on again for all of us to enjoy!

If you got games tonight...they look a little different.

These are part of our holiday tournaments for Games 4 & 5

The Battle 4 Atlantis
The Charleston Classic
and the NIT Tip-Off in New York City.

If you didn't get a game tonight, I'll get the rest of the regular-season Game 4s out tomorrow and you will be getting a holiday tourney in the coming weeks.

Note: there is a power-up involved for the winners of each of these holiday tournament bracket.
So set yourself up for March Madness with some early-season holiday magic!!!

[flexmaster33]

Game 4s have been sent out...i'll work on getting a standings update posted tomorrow

[flexmaster33]

Standings posted with results through full completed games through the Game 3 set.

As I understand, if a team has a "long play" map as home map and loses them both and manage to win the third fast. Then the home team win anyhow ...
It has to be some benefit to win away games ??????

[flexmaster33]

And we have our first overtime game of the season with Butler and Florida State tied at 55 in Game 4

[flexmaster33]

Game 5s have been sent out.

If you are in one of the tourneys, those future matchups will be sent out as soon as matchups can be determined.

Happy Thanksgiving all

[flexmaster33]

Standings updated...

[flexmaster33]

Standings updated...I've included the brackets for the Holiday tournaments that ran Games 4 & 5 ... if you aren't in one of those, you'll be in ones in the coming week. Winners of the holiday tourneys earn a 6th-man power-up for March Madness.

Reptile and his Nebraska Cornhuskers are off to an impressive 4-0 start.

woot woot!!! (though i may be losing the 5th

[flexmaster33]

Standings are updated and the season's first RPI rankings are out.
Congrats to shoop76 and his South Carolina Gamecocks on taking the #1 spot.

And alas, no perfect seasons in the mix this year

[flexmaster33]

The RPI rankings are a mix of overall record + strength of schedule with some minor boosts given for performance against top-20 foes and margin of victory.

This is just one of the measures that 'the committee' will consider when awarding at-large bids for the March Madness phase of the tourney.

Nice work Shoop! Great showing in an instant classic in a matchup of two top 10 teams versus Maryland to take the #1 seed!
