CHAMPIONSHIP "Elite 8"

SINGLE-ELIMINATION RAIN DAY RESULTS
(Plan B) - (Updated Oct. 1st)

ELITE 8, PLAY-IN, & DAZZLING DOZEN^© CHAMPIONSHIP ROUNDS

DOUBLE-ELIMINATION SCHEDULE - (Not Played - rain)

This year, teams were seeded for the Play-in and Elite Eight rounds (with their rankings retained for the double-elimination championship rounds). Again, this year two of the top six seeds needed to play tie-breaker games and could not receive byes traditionally set in the double elimination format.

So this year, the Dazzling Dozen^© of teams expanded to fourteen teams in the competition...sixteen teams total counting the tie-breaker participants. HOWEVER, with the rain delays, four teams dropped out so that we had our dozen compete on the final day.

Originally, the top four ranked teams were separated in each of the four sections of the "Elite Eight" and paired as closely as possible to traditional pairings - highest ranked vs lowest, number two vs second lowest, and teams ranked in the middle vs others with mid-ranged rankings. (As teams dropped out, their opponents advanced with forfeits without changing the seeding.))
