Can anyone explain why Division II gets the better game times for the playoffs?

Sorry James,

It's simply because there is an additional playoff round for DI, so they got the earlier slots Saturday and Sunday. We could have switched it up on Sunday morning, but those DII teams that play late in the evening would get even less sleep/break between quarterfinals and finals. It was simply to keep the breaks as fair as possible for all divisions.

Thanks,
Brennan

How come there are 2 teams for every seed how is it split up?

We have 2 teams for each seed (ie 2 #1 seeds) because we have essentially a right and a left bracket. Think NCAA March Madness, there are 4 #1 seeds.

will it still be 5 vs 12 6 vs 11 and so just they will be called 3 vs 6

UMSL should get the best times too, right?

I was just talking about Sunday. Who says we'll be playing on Sunday? I just figured DI would get the later times because it's DI.

Yeah, it really doesn't make an sense to have the semi finals at 8:00am. Assuming there is a broadcast again, I'm not sure how people on the west coast will feel about being up at 5:00am to listen to the match-ups.

With all due repect and I am saying with all due respect, the schedule this year is flawed.

"with all due respect... I had no idea that you had an experimental surgery to have your balls removed"

"with all due respect, and remember I'm sayin' it with all due respect, that idea ain't worth a velvet painting of a whale and a dolphin gettin' it on"

couldn't resist... love that movie...

Hi Phil,

I just answered this in another post but will do it here as well. IBSU.net is unable to attend, as is Lifetime Media. So we will not have any audio or video, unless something happens in the next few days. We have been trying to secure other vendors to deliver the same product, but to date have been unsuccessful.

We do have iDi photography coming out, taking team photos and game/action photos. Be sure to have your team get together at your scheduled time for the team photo. Times are available on www.ncrha.org.
