Hey all,
Anyone interested, I've got a new tourney taking sign-ups ... based on the primetime game show -- The Floor.

Standings updated, although I have some catching up to do over the weekend.

We do have 11 of the 12 in-season tournaments decided. Each of those champions gets a 6th-man power up to use in the March Madness phase.

Oklahoma handed #1 Nebraska its first loss (ending a 12-game streak to start the season) with an 89-61 home win.

And Ball State picked up its first win of the season 81-69 on their home floor.

Since my win streak is over, I will get all of my losses out of the way so I don't cool off in the tournament (should I make it) like I did last year

Sounds like a plan ... You are still at #5 despite the recent wobbles.

[flexmaster33]

Georgia takes over the #1 spot for the first time with an impressive 14-2 start.
Former #1 Nebraska drops down to #5.

Michigan State is ranked #2 and is the first to achieve a 6-0 league record.
Six teams are unbeaten in league play.

I'll get Game 17s out in the morning.
Have a Merry Christmas everyone!!!

Haven't tried a 'real time' tourney before, but had time this weekend, so thought I'd float one out there.

It's double elimination on random maps, set for 1 p.m. (Pacific/Los Angeles) time on Sunday, Dec. 29 if anyone wants in, here's the link.

Expect the tourney will run 2-3 hours, but again haven't done a real time version before so guessing.

New top 25 is out and you are seeing something i doubt you ever will in the real NCAA poll -- the Cal State East Bay Pioneers are #1

Congrats on esquire on emerging from a tight pack at the top. Some impressive records going as we head into the second half of the season.

If it's possible, I would like to change map to Northwest Passage.

I allow coaches to change maps once per season if they prefer. I'll get that updated.

[flexmaster33]

New top 25 is out with CS East Bay staying at the top with a 16-3 record.

#2 Syracuse (17-3) and #3 Georgia (18-3) are close behind.

Thanks for the heads up...I'll make a note and we will probably try to get you those games early. Enjoy your vacation

Standings update, CS East Bay remains #1 in the RPI, Game 23s sent.

We've got some blockbuster matchups in this set.

#12 Duke @ #5 James Madison in the Mid-Atlantic
#22 Miami @ #9 South Carolina in the SEC
#24 Vermont @ #13 St. Bonnies in the Mid-America
A surging Niagara team at #16 Oakland in the Midwest
and in non league action ... #11 Houston @ #7 Nebraska.

We've got some powerhouse teams chasing #1 seeds in March Madness.

East Bay and Syracuse are both 19-3, while Georgia and Michigan State are both 19-4 and James Madison is also in that top mix at 18-4.

Really glad I joined since super league went up in flames. So thanks for all the hard work Flexmaster33! I hope you got some people helping you with all this. Quick question, what exactly is the tournament power ups? Do you get an extra home match instead of random? Who's already earn some this season? Thanks!

I'll do an update this weekend that reflects this.
The explanation of the power ups should already appear in the initial tourney post.

Each power up has a slightly different use, but you are on the right track. The Sharp Shooter power up allows you to replace a map with your home settings in the March Madness phase.

My apologies, my old graphic had the "How They Work" part...I'll update that this weekend to, so all of that is more clear.

Congrats to Mass Miracle on having James Madison as the final team to stay unbeaten in league play.

[flexmaster33]

Georgia retakes the #1 spot with a league-best 21 wins on the season, while James Madison and Michigan State have also reached the 20-win benchmark.

[flexmaster33]

Mass Miracle and James Madison are four wins away from a perfect run through the Mid-Atlantic League.

[flexmaster33]

just a heads up, the last games of the regular season have been sent out.

After this we will be going into the conference tournament phase of the tourney.
Win your conference tourney and you get an automatic bid into March Madness regardless of your record.

After the conference tourneys are completed, we will have Selection Sunday to decide the 32-team championship bracket and the 16-team NIT bracket.

[flexmaster33]

Working to update the standings over the weekend and will be filling in the conference tournament brackets as spots are secured. Good luck, everyone

[flexmaster33]

Wrapping up regular season results and seeding the conference brackets as those spots are able to be claimed.

We've got a couple 8/9 matchups going right now.

Also of note, we just went over 1,200 recorded games (more than 3,600 maps) for the season and counting.

Are conference tournaments neutral site or home map?

Good question...conference tourneys are home court for the higher seeded team.
