Re: Official 2015 BottomFeeder Bracketology and Site Selection Thread

Wouldn't every team in FARTS have a losing percentage < .500?

So with a tie, do we half-*** our way throught he tournament? Or take a few players from each team to make a "squad"?

Looks like we'll have a game or two (or 3) to decide which team is more deserving of the honor of playing...

It would be a good place for Becky to host, their trap style of play would work great in that building.

Congratulations on earning the honor of taking our place in this tournament. All we get out of it is a trip down Route 11 to play your other rival.

Mass won a 5-ot game. Have they dropped out of the 16?

I do not think so, as UMass has locked up the HEA auto-seed, unless there are still some intricacies to the mysterious FARTS system that I do not understand. Seems that Niagara, Princeton, Wisco, Anchorage, and CC also should be in, as they have locked up their conference auto-seeds. And, if my understanding of FARTS is correct, which is unlikely, it appears that Clarkson has played their way in, replacing Maine for 16th. And, further, RIT remains out because of the 0.500 AHA rule. So, unlike that other tournament, it appears that the BFB conference auto-seeds are determined early, as these teams benefit primarily by their regular season play, which some would argue is what makes the BFB more accountable and truer to the philosophy of the sport.
