2009-10 College Hoops [Winner: HighlanderAttack] [NIT: ga7]

[dowian2]

Okay... problems seem to be solved. Special thanks to NS/lack for getting us back up and running!

All games for March 2 - March 5 have been sent out.
All forfeits have been awarded for games prior to March 2.

The next batch will be sent out this Friday. That will be the last normal batch; I'll send out a few games that have gotten left behind on Monday. Get ready for conference tournaments!

Also, to keep the spirit of the tournament alive, flex has agreed to help out with the NCAA tournament. Each round of the tournament will consist of three games: 1 on the higher seed's home map, 2 on a random map. It will not, however, be a straight best-of-three; flex is working on a formula to determine final score (similar to what he does in his other tournaments).

Good luck in your games everyone!

Kansas St. wins on the road taking down #2 Kansas

...foreshadowing a final four match-up???

[Lubawski]

I'll lobby on my own behalf for a minute (I have no shame). Overall record may not be as good as I hoped it would be, but I (Kansas State) have won two huge road games (Iowa St--#2 at the time, currently #3) and now Kansas (currently #2)

All games for Mar 6 to Mar 9 have been sent out. This marks the end of the regular batches. Any games not joined from this batch will become a forfeit this Monday.

I'm going to go through and find games that have been lost throughout the season (no one joined them/they were deleted because I had a sub/etc.) and send those out Monday. After that, I'll wait for all regular-season games to finish and then get conference tournaments started. I don't know how long that process will take; I'll try to give you a day or two advance notice so the freemiums don't have to save a spot indefinitely. I can't imagine any conference tournaments would start before next weekend.

It came as a bit of a surprise to me, but five conferences have finished their seasons:
America East
Colonial
MVC
Summit-MAAC
WCC

I've posted your conference tournaments on the first page (fourth post, in the spoilers). I will be sending out first-round games for these tournaments on Monday, so freemiums, keep a spot open for me!

Winners of each of these tournaments get an automatic berth into the NCAA Tourney!

Columbia Beats Brown to Clinch the Ivy title and a place in the big Dance..woop woop...Go LIONS!

[AtreidesHouse]

Rutgers showed up late and Seton Hall took advantage of the late arrival of their starters.

[dowian2]

Congratulations to Columbia (Culs de Sac) on clinching the Ivy League championship and an automatic berth into the NCAA tournament!

[dowian2]

The five regular season remakes, as well as first round games for America East, Colonial, MVC, Summit-MAAC, and WCC tourneys have been sent out.

IMPORTANT: There is now a 48-hour rule in effect. Any game not joined within 48 hours will be considered a forfeit. I'm pretty good about being lenient IF you send me a PM before the 48 hours is up; if I don't hear from you, your game will be lost.

Note that some first round conference tournament games have been awarded as forfeits already; this is because I've deemed a few teams as being ineligible for postseason play due to inactivity over the final month of the regular season.

Good luck on the courts, everyone!*







*except for Clemson's opponents in the ACC tournament

[flexmaster33]

nice ruling dowian...no reason to reward deadbeats.

[dowian2]

Update:
All games are active in the first round of the previously mentioned conference tournaments.

I expect the MAC conference tournament to start tomorrow; just waiting on one game to finish in that league, and it looks like it's on its last move.

U. Portland over USF in tourney

[jwithington]

Northwestern continues its season-closing dominance over ranked Big Ten opponents with a convincing win over #13 Indiana.

Coach Withington was heard to say "well, it just seemed like the game was stacked in our favor from our first possession onward."

[game]6658386[/game]

GG, Hoosiers!

[jwithington]

For the record, it's ridiculous how much my non-conference games cost me a winning record/entry into the tourney.

Rar to that!

[dowian2]

Update:
The MAC tournament will start today, with Conference USA and the Big Ten beginning tomorrow. I'll keep an eye on the active games to see if I can start any others.

Just one minor upset in the early going of the tournaments thus far: #9 Evansville took down #8 Missouri St. in the MVC tourney.
