Well, for some strange reason, the organizer couldn't read my TWO messages telling that my home map (for Rhode Island) is AFRICA II, and my home map is being listed as Random. I know that it's a lot of trouble to organize such a tournament, etc., but I feel disrespected since he asked me two times and I never answered nothing near of random, so why did he assume it? I hate to play random maps, I'll ask to leave the tournament if this can't be solved

Sorry serram, I didn't see your notes...I'll look back through my messages. But my apologies. I'll get you updated to Africa II for the rest of the tourney. What are the settings you like with that map?

#4 Creighton pulls off a 95-59 home win over #2 St. Bonnies in an early-season top-10 clash.

Sent out the Game 6 batch tonight...this set marks our League vs. League Challenge.

We have each league matched up with all teams from one of the other leagues to battle for bragging rites.

Good luck all

[flexmaster33]

Standings updated...we've got 6 schools still in the mix for the last unbeaten team prize with James Madison and Harvard being the first schools to reach 4-0.

Also closing in on some title games for the early-season, in-season tourneys.

Good luck all

Also, to anyone interested, check out the tourney tab.

I've posted three new ones, so go ahead and jump in if you find any of them interesting

[flexmaster33]

Five teams still in the running for longest unbeaten team to start the season with Miami and Harvard leading the charge with 5-0 starts.

[flexmaster33]

The initial RPI top 25 has been posted with Miami coming out in the No. 1 spot.

The RPI is a rankings formula that uses a mix of strength of schedule, top-25 wins along with home/away record to determine rankings. It is used to help determine at-large bids for the March Madness phase of play. It is only one of several tools used in that process.

congrats to faro and the Hurricanes

[flexmaster33]

We are down to Miami and Nebraska and the only unbeaten teams remaining ... both a 5-0.

Standings/results updated. Game 8s going out late tonight

In the Game 6 Challenge week...the SEC is throwing a shutout so far against Great Lakes winning all five games that have gone final so far.

Also with a good showing is the Northwest Conference, which is up 5-1 on the Mid-America group.

[flexmaster33]

Nebraska moves to 6-0 becoming the final unbeaten team in the league and taking the 200 CC credits prize. Well done

We've got our new top 25 and fittingly Nebraska, our last unbeaten team, is right there at the top.

Where can I find the scoring for a current game in the spreed sheet? Curious how elkspeaks got to overtime. Thanks

Won in 8 rounds + 10 to me, spoils bonus + 1 to me
Lost in 14 rounds +4 to you, troops bonus + 1 to you
Lost in 15 rounds +3 to you, spoils +2 to you, troops +1 to you

I botched it on my last turn of the 15 rounder, if I didn't attack at all that turn you'd have one less spoils and get one less bonus - oof

This is correct.

Also note: League records are what will be used to seed the conference tourney brackets at the end of the regular season.

*** Every league has at least one top-25 team.
The Big East has three in the top-10.
