I've been tremendously busy with school and the like. I'm planning on starting it back up again at some point (probably after finals). Also, there may be a new CHW to promote the Tournament as well.
Anyway, the goal will be to do the Tournament over the summer/offseason. That gives me more time (only taking 1 class - Basic Tax Law) to try and have a game/day or at the least 3-5 games/week. We're still in the play-in games so to speak (the First Round), and I'm hoping to get those started back up sometime in mid-May (i.e. after my finals are done). I would like to have the First Round/Play-in Games done by June, so that June/July we would do the Round of 64, followed by the Rounds of 32 and 16 in July/August, then Finish the tournament up late August/early September, just in time for a new hockey season to begin.
Also, I'll be doing a similar tournament featuring the best team from each of the 59 schools (and just maybe some extinct programs will come in as well). Some schools will also have a "play-in" game featuring their top 2 teams with the winner gaining entrance into the tournament. Of course, this tournament won't start until the other tournament is completed.
