The padded post in the center of the ice was a clincher.

With any luck, the padding will be removed for the weekend.

BottomFeedersBracket awards MIDWEST regional to:
Fremont-Sandusky County Recreation Center, Fremont OH

The pictures don't do the place justice. Management guarantees us the conditions will be horrible.

BottomFeedersBracket awards EASTERN regional:
Wright Township Municipal Park, Wright Twp PA
Breaking with tradition, this event will be OUTDOORS. The township is bankrupt and can't repair the damage that roler-blading and skateboarding caused last summer.

Re: 2015 Bottom-Feeder Bracket/FutileFour Pre-Season Predictions
OK, folks. Time for the FINAL edition of BottomFeedersBracketology.
The road to the Futile4 at the Pontiac Silverdome begins right here.
Here's the field, as determined by FARTS.
1. American International
2. Niagara
3. Army
4. Princeton
5. Wisconsin
6. Holy Cross
7. Lake Superior
8. Air Force
9. Sacred Heart
10. Alabama-Huntsville
11. Alaska-Anchorage
12. Colorado College
13. Brown
14. Rensselaer
15. Clarkson
16. Massachusetts
First we place the #1 seeds, sending the highest seeds as far as possible from their home.
#1 American International goes to the WEST Regional at Winter Park-Fraser Colorado
#2 Niagara goes to the NORTHEAST Regional at Canton MA
#3 Army goes to the MIDWEST Regional at Fremont OH
#4 Princeton makes the short trip to the EAST Regional at Wright Twp PA
Now we place the 5-8 seeds in reverse order:
#5 Wisconsin goes to the Princeton bracket in Pennsylvania
#6 Holy Cross goes to the Army bracket in Ohio
#7 Lake Superior goes to the Niagaga bracket in Massachusetts
#8 Air Force goes to AIC's bracket in Colorado.
Now place the #3 seeds so we get 8v9, 7v10, 6v11 and 5v12.
#9 Sacred Heart goes against Air Force in the WEST regional
#10 Huntsville goes against #7 Lake Superior in the NEAST regional
#11 Anchorage will face #6 Holy Cross in the MIDWEST regional
#12 Colorado College heads EAST to face Wisconsin.
Finally, round out the field with the #4 seeds.
#13 Brown is matched against #4 Princeton in the Pennsylvania (EAST) regional
#14 Rensselaer draws #3 Army at Fremont OH (M'WEST)
#15 Clarkson would meet #2 Niagara at Canton MA (N'EAST)
#16 Massachusetts heads WEST to Colorado, where they face AIC
Let's take a moment, pour another vodka and see what's wrong with these brackets.

Air Force(AFA) vs AIC in Colo--just seems wong
Re: 2015 Bottom-Feeder Bracket/FutileFour Pre-Season Predictions
Here's what we have, before we start messing around:
WEST (Winter Park-Fraser CO)
1. AIC
2. Air Force
3. Sacred Heart
4. Mass
MIDWEST (Fremont OH)
1. Army
2. Holy Cross
3. Anchorage
4. Rensselaer
NORTHEAST (Canton MA)
1. Niagara
2. Lake Superior
3. Huntsville
4. Clarkson
EAST (Wright Twp PA)
1. Princeton
2. Wisconsin
3. Colorado Col
4. Brown
As difficult as it usually is with so many Atlantic Hockey teams in the field, we TRY to avoid first round match-ups between conference foes. Surprisingly, only ONE of the THREE conflicts involve AH teams. Swapping the others while avoiding more conflicts may be difficult, but let's give it a try.
The BAD match-ups are:
Air Force vs. Sacred Heart is the WEST
Lake Superior vs Huntsville in the N'EAST
Princeton vs. Brown in the EAST
Conventional wisdom says swap the lower seed (Sacred Heart) out of the WEST, but the committee is looking ahead to the next step (minimizing attendance and maximizing travel hardships) so we're going to kill two birds with one stone and swap the #2 seeds from the WEST and NORTHEAST. We'll send Lake Superior to Colorado and send Air Force to Massachusetts.
That leaves us with just the Princeton-Brown match-up in the EAST regional. As the #4 band is dominated by ECAC teams, the only place we can send Brown is WEST, bringing U Mass back EAST to Pennsylvania. Too bad, we were hoping to make AIC and U-Mass (just 26 miles apart) travel across three time zones to play...but it's almost as good to send Brown (just 84 miles from AIC) on that same trip.
Well, unless there are any serious objections, here are the brackets:
WEST
1. AIC
2. Lake Superior
3. Sacred Heart
4. Brown
MIDWEST
1. Army
2. Holy Cross
3. Alaska-Anchorage
4. Rensselaer
NORTHEAST
1. Niagara
2. Air Force
3. Alabama-Huntsville
4. Clarkson
EAST
1. Princeton
2. Wisconsin
3. Colorado College
4. Massachusetts
We are intrigued by the "jet-propulsion" match-up between Air Force and Huntsville.
Regional games will be Sunday and Monday, March 29-30.

Congrats to The Committee for another easy bracket selection.
One minor typo in second paragraph labeled BAD match-ups: should be Air Force vs Sacred Heart, vs Holy Cross, as correctly noted later on.
Now, need to get the old ham radio kit from the attic fired up.

The committee is intoxicated and claims no responsibility for ticky-tack errors...like getting Sacred Cross and Holy Heart confused.
