Really think Lake Forest’s season is over. 2 losses to Concordia and Trine in the past two weeks doesn’t look good.

They're still at #9 in USCHO's PWR. If Adrian doesn't win the NCHA autobid LF is screwed but they might squeak in with a little help.

Right now, they are the last team in, and the team behind them (Babson) is similarly dead in the water. Upsets could mean that somebody ahead of them currently projected in Pool A might have to use a Pool C slot (Utica, Genny or Adrian losing would probably mean they would fall out off it, or the unlikely scenario that both Norwich and Hobart lose in the NEHC semis.)

Re: 2019-20 pwr

Two weeks left....different look here with Babson's loss...plus Utica took control of the UCHC.

I can't bring myself to bring Adrian, Hobart and Geneseo together in triad so here's the way I would do it:

Plymouth at Endicott vs. Norwich
Lake Forest at Adrian vs. Geneseo
St. Johns at Eau Claire vs. Hobart
Williams at UNE vs. Utica

For fun, I did it with the Adrian-Hobart-Geneseo triad and got this:

Plymouth @ Endicott vs Norwich
Saint Johns @ Lake Forest vs UW-Eau Claire

Adrian @ Geneseo vs Hobart
Williams @ UNE vs Utica

That triad would be a fun one to watch for sure

Re: 2019-20 pwr

Here's a scenario that I wasn't even considering that was pointed out to me by a lurker that is very knowledgeable on the process...

There is nothing set in stone that we have to have four, three-team pods...

The bracket could look like this to adhere to geography constraints and not have to fly a team until the FF...

St. Johns at Lake Forest vs. Eau Claire
Williams at UNE vs. Norwich
Endicott at Geneseo vs. Plymouth at Utica
Adrian at Hobart

#2 vs #4 in a qf? Doubt it

They have done things like that in the past. However, since the Adrian, Genesseo, Hobart triad fits in the 500 mile rule, I would assume they would make use of that to get to a 4 triad arrangement. In any case once the upsets happen, it all will all change

500 miles trumps bracket integrity 11 times out of 10.

They have done similar match ups before,

I was trying to remember if they can do that or not... As I stated in the other thread, though, if chalk holds, I think Hobart will drop into the first round game against Endicott and the host of the Geneseo / Adrian game would depend on the bump Adrian could get from beating Lake Forest...

I should have known someone would have been far ahead of me in broaching this topic. I just didn't recognize the title.
Deleted mine. No need for duplicate topics/threads.

Found the following on the USCHO site describing the NCAA D3 Tournament "Format: Eight teams play in first-round games to fill the quarterfinal field." Don't know whether it is a direct quote from the official rules, or just a text description. Wonder if it applies to your scenario.

You would still get 4 first round games and 4 quarter finals, but not in the way people think about it. I still think the current set up leads to this instead:

Geneva "Regional"

Adrian/Geneseo —> Hobart

Eau Claire "Regional"

St.John’s/Lake Forest —> UWEC

Utica "Regional"

Plymouth/UNE —> Utica

Northfield "Regional"

Williams/Endicott —> Norwich

Lake Forest lost the DMG to Trine last weekend, so they are out. Adrian can get a boost from beating the Marian/SNC winner next Saturday (if they make it past Trine tonight).
