Hi Bracketologists

Hi you hard core bracket study people, I am sure you are wondering why several games for the second Thursday, have two potential start times.
    The  explanation is that we are following the mandate to have the tournament teams from the bottom  of the standings play each other first, so they have a couple competitive match's.  I can see that, So the top teams get byes. That coupled with the fact that we have an uneven number of teams creates a situation, which is game #11 NSP vs winner of game #6 so NSP with no loses and winner of 6 with one loss.If things go as expected and NSP (tied for first in the league) wins  the other team is eliminated and the tournament goes as planned, however should  the winner of game 6 win than we have two  one loss teams creating all sorts of havoc. Thus the contingency start times.
    I am glad I will not be refereeing game 11 since as one of the athletic directors and tournament directors we are neutral, but for this one game for the sake of start times I hope NSP has a good match. :-)

P.S.  Oh dear, what if we are the "other team!!!?"

good luck to everyone, especially NSP game 11 (only) :-)
