| Correct. The "WLWW" team goes to game 11. The others have only
| played three games, and meet in game 10.
After writing this I realized that the reason those seemingly
convoluted brackets make sense to me has to do with the way I
record the results and re-order the teams on my "regionals"
page. So, not to waste that insight, I added a "WL" sequence
annotation to JJ's old bracket sheet. You can see it at
http://www.scri.fsu.edu/~jac/Baseball/brackets.html
Also note that I have updated ..../regions-98.html with the morning
results, but will not do anything with the conference page until
tomorrow morning. Of course, the current version of that page,
at ..../conf-rank-98.html, shows quite clearly who went "oh and
two and barbeque" in the first two rounds of the tournament. This
part always strikes me as a significant measure of the selection
procedure and the quality of some playin and automatic conferences.
It is significant that none of the big multi-bid conferences had
anyone go out quickly. Note it was the much disputed UNCC (the
Conference USA tourney runner-up and #3 in regular season) that
was the only _at_large_ team to do so. The at-large teams from
the Sun Belt and Big Ten did better than their tourney champs,
and in both cases they were the ones who won the regular season
and were upset in the tournament.
