SECRHL Regionals

[Hockeyguy22]

How many teams are going and what are the brackets

[NYR1199]

We will be following the same format as the ECRHA for their DII event. Each team will be placed in a pool for a 3-game round robin. The top 8 teams will then advance to the quarterfinals, which will be played Saturday night. The two semi-final games and championship will be played Sunday morning.



The top 3 seeds will be based on the division leaders. The rest of the seedings will be based on overall points (Same format as the NHL). The pools will as followed:



Pool 1:

#1, #6, #7, #12



Pool 2:

#2, #5, #8, #11



Pool 3:

#3, #4, #9, #10



Games will start at 9 am on Saturday.



Final seedings will be posted on Monday after our final event.

[NYR1199]

Final standings depend on how Tampa fairs in there out of conference event..... on a side not, congrats to the DII Southern conference, all 5 teams clinched a spot to regionals

Yo, I posted the info for d2 a few posts above regarding the brackets:

Pool 1:

#1, #6, #7, #12



Pool 2:

#2, #5, #8, #11



Pool 3:

#3, #4, #9, #10

[The Golden Boy]

Yea, you posted as I was writing it up, I figured I would just leave it anyways.

[BEEZERAL]

Im going to get flamed for this, but IMO there is no way James Madison, South Carolina and Emory should be higher seeds above any team from the Southern Conference. Yea I know they have more "points" but there is NO doubt as to which teams are better, or had better seasons.

[rocksforhands]

Here are some scores for South Carolina
Tampa 21-1
USF 10-2

Here are some scores for Emory

Miami 17-4
FSU 8-3
FAU 8-3
Charleston 6-6 and 5-4 Emory

Thanks for doing the work.

These are very valid points, but NC State beat UCF opening game, should they be first seed? The problem is the region is so large, and the power is mainly in the south. To prevent this from happening the league has always said "TRAVEL NORTH" Realistically this inst possible with the poor budgets handed to us by the school.

Either way when it all unfolds there will probably be 2 maybe 3, if a miracle unfolds possibly 4 bids from this region for nationals in D2. This ultimately means you will have to beat almost everyone anyways to get to the top. UCF had a poor regular season last year giving them a poor seed entering the event, but they came around to win the tournament. This was the ONLY reason they got a bid to nationals!! If you deserve a spot at nationals, it shouldn't matter where you start the regional tournament, just how to prove yourself when you get there!! Win the Regional and it wont matter if you were seeded first or last.

good points, but the games were not even close. If the games were played again this weekend the results would probably be the same. Probably even more lopsided.

[The Golden Boy]

So the difference would be playing the top seeds in the pool, quarters, semis, either way if you don't make Top 4 your not going to nationals. You will encounter a tough team either way on the road there. Top 3 seeds are based upon conference winner, so only one team from the south can be top 3. IMO the way the standings are right now isn't so bad, if you match the teams up with the pools only one pool has more than 2 south teams in it. Hopefully UT will win this weekend and not have to play FAU in the opening pool. If you break it down now each pool has one very good team, and one very weak team with two good middle teams that could very easily show a few upsets.
POOL 1
Strong=FAU
Weak= JMU
Middle=USF
Middle= UT(might move out)

POOL 2
Strong=Elon
Weak=USC
Middle=FSU
Middle=COC

POOL 3
Strong=West Carolina
Weak= Emory
Middle=Miami
Middle=Kenn State
(If Tampa jumps will still be the same, swapping with a different middle team, no matter what)

[JewInNet]

I know the league has said for the southern teams to travel north, but this isnt possible when no northern teams travel south thus filling all the northern events before a southern team can get in

I know most of our programs arent well funded, but you should make each school participate in at least one event in snellville or north or south of snellville depending where your school is located.

[NYR1199]

JMU, USC, and USF are not attending.

1. FAU (30 pts [Conference winner])

2. Elon (25 pts [Conference winner])

3. KSU (24 pts [Conference winner])

4. WCU (25 pts)

5. CofC (21 pts)

6. UT (20 pts)

7. EM (17 pts)

8. UM (16 pts)

9. FSU (15 pts)

10. VT (10 pts)

11. UNC (9 pts)

12. GT (4 pts)

Pool 1: FAU, CofC/UT, EM, GT

Pool 2: Elon, WCU/UT, UM, UNC

Pool 3: KSU, WCU/UT, FSU, VT

[BEEZERAL]

any reason those 3 teams are not attending?

[CSteamer]

USC is not attending because several of their players cannot make it, including thier goalie and leading scorer. not sure about the others

[rocksforhands]

golden boy: kenn st is much better than wcu saw them play this past weekend

[NYR1199]

Tampa went 1-1-2 in Great Plains. Here are final standings now:

1. FAU (30 pts [Conference winner])

2. Elon (25 pts [Conference winner])

3. KSU (24 pts [Conference winner])

4. WCU (25 pts)

5. UT (24 pts)

6. CofC (21 pts)

7. EM (17 pts)

8. UM (16 pts)

9. FSU (15 pts)

10. VT (10 pts)

11. UNC (9 pts)

12. GT (4 pts)

Pool 1: FAU, CofC, EM, GT

Pool 2: Elon, UT, UM, UNC

Pool 3: KSU, WCU, FSU, VT

Someone correct me if I ****ed up somewhere

[FAUplayer]

Wow, pool two looks loaded with talent.

[FAUplayer]

Schedule is up, and they changed the format; top 10. For some reason, Tampa plays Charleston, and they are in the opposite pool.....

[The Golden Boy]

Because 10 teams is difficult to pool, there is no set pools that you play every team. It is all based on standings. Cross between pools for 3 seeded teams because of uneven pools with limited amount of time. 3 games for each team, then reseed to top 8.
Pools in order of standings.
Pool A
FAU
WCU
CofC
UM
VT

Pool B
Elon
KSU
UT
EM
FSU
Predictions for top 8 or final 4????

I don't know the North D2 teams well enough, My only prediction would be top 4 any order FAU, UT, Elon, Kenn,

[rshock73]

I am confused as to how the #4 team in DII can have the same schedule (in terms of the teams they play) as the #1 seed?!

[jb2384]

The real question is why VT who is the lowest rated team in the SECRHL has a better schedule than Charleston who plays FAU, WCU, and UT...brutal schedule for finishing sixth.

[NYR1199]

We all know who the favorite is to win D2, any sleeper picks that you think can make some noise?

[JewInNet]

I think some teams to watch out for are Tampa and Kennesaw. Both of these teams could make some noise at regionals. It will be interesting to see how FAU reacts to the playoffs, seeing as they are a young team. Obviously the schedule favors them, since the games are so close together and the winner and runner up will end up playing 6 games in a 24 hr period. Those young kids will have energy that some of the older guys wont have.

I predict that all 4 southern teams make it into the 8 team single elimination round. However, only one of them will make it to the championship game

[BEEZERAL]

I think it is more realistic to guarantee 2-4 getting in with FAU and UT being the guarantees. I think Miami has a better shot to advance and possibly make noise than FSU. Miami is a much more balanced team while FSU relies heavily on two outstanding players to carry the them.

[William Bourque]

Does the rink down there have wireless internet?

[wednthavddr]

I think so..Usually JR the league director puts the gamescores up right after the game.. if that is what you are looking for

[rshock73]

Does the rink down there have wireless internet?

Yes, it does. Use it all the time.

[William Bourque]

Water is causing all kinds of problems in the DI game between Central Florida and Eastern Carolina.

Central Florida leads 5-4 with 3 minutes left in the second period.

ECU was winning 2-0 at the start of the game.


And Florida leads Middle Tenn State 7-1 after 2 periods.

[Topshelf39]

what sorts of problems are that

[William Bourque]

what sorts of problems are that

It seems fine now, they spent some time cleaning up water from the rink. It was raining pretty hard this morning.

UCF is up 9-4 now.

[William Bourque]

Much to the crowds disapproval, FAU just spent 6 minutes with the puck in their own zone while Miami sat in lawn chairs and collected UV rays in the defensive zone...

FAU leads 2-1 in the second period...

[William Bourque]

And then they went ahead and sat there for the entire second period once they got the puck back...they lead 2-1 in a snooze fest....

[betteronice]

kennesaw and tampa at 5 should be a realy good game

[William Bourque]

kennesaw and tampa at 5 should be a realy good game

Its tied 2-2 late in the 2nd period.
