What is the latest list of teams attending? How many games do you have to Officiate in order to get paid? I'm thinking of Officiating instead of playing, but can't decide between. When is the Captains' Meeting scheduled within the event? DePaul will bring at max 5 ladies. Peters, lmao Zig, refs will be paid by a game by game basis. Captains meeting will be at the end of day 1 5 ladies got it.

If we're recording video can we use the regular NCDAdodgeball YouTube account for this, not a separate channel?

Or at the very least if a dodgeball video is uploaded on another user name make sure it's Favorited by the NCDAdodgeball account.

At this point I EMU won't be attending. We just can't find people that are willing to go. But I do plan on going on Saturday to watch. But as for as a team I doubt EMU will have one after this year.

In the Google doc of the Records, in the second sheet " Nationals Work," i've laid out a schedule for both days of the Event. By way of tradition, Host SVSU has control of the schedule though. It's fairly automated, relying on two things: Regularly added, recorded season matches A list of teams attending Nationals; each team is sorted manually and appropriately into one of four regions (East Coast, Illinois, Kentucky, Michigan). Saturday and Sunday results Saturday involves group play: 1. Each team is sorted in a region of teams (Range A50-L74, but the data is actually pulled from the 'Season' sheet) 2. Regions are sorted into Groups (A82-L101) via a matrix (Range F76-K81), based on their Regional Standing. 3. The Sorting Matrix (Range F76-K81) starts on the basis of EC v IL and MI v KY, which is based on distance. EC is opposite of IL and MI-KY likewise. Ohio was split into different regions based on how much they played who, and distance. 4. Each team within a group is assigned a Saturday seed: Cyan group is 'A1, A2, A3, A5, A6'. Nationals 2011's 'seed plays seed' format stands: 1 v 2,3,4 and so on. (Range D76-D81) 5. Saturday Schedule: (Range N3-T63) Based on 'seed plays seed', arranged by team, alphabetically. With 4 available courts from 10:00a - 8:00p, 30 matches w/o the All Star Game or Ladies' Match. 6. Saturday Results: (Range V3-AF33) After pool play, Results are recorded and Sundays Seeds (Range X35-AF56) and the rest is updated automatically. Saturday's Points again count for 80% and the Season's Points counts for 20% like they did last year, but that ratio can easily be changed. 7. Sunday Results, manually recorded, updates the Bracket (Range AU2). Seeds are arranged appropriately for a 20 team tournament bracket. I'll likely turn this into a database, where people can make their own brackets online.

CAPTAINS PLEASE CHECK THIS TO MAKE SURE IT IS CORRECT.
Zig you should adjust the Google Doc to reflect that Nebraska, LCC, U of Maryland, U of Louisville, North Texas, VCU, Kansas St, and Eastern will not be attending Nationals. Out side of that everyone should be here in Saginaw come April.
Attending - Saginaw Valley State, Bowling Green State, Wisconsin Platteville, University of Kentucky, Towson University, DePaul, Kent State, Western Illinois University, Michigan State, Grand Valley State, James Madison University, Moody Bible, Western Kentucky, Miami (OH), Central Michigan University, Rochester Institute of Technology, Northwestern State University, Ohio State University

hmmm 18 teams...
6 regions of 3 teams each or 3 regions of 6 teams each
The purpose of the regions last year was to group teams into divisions based on who played who. Regions do not explicitly exist, and because they are based in geographical area and traveling distance by definition, they are entirely fluid. Regions are able to molded and shaped in the ways needed for Nationals.
Traditionally the first day of Nationals (Saturday) has functioned as a huge part of the playable season, or most of the season in the earliest years. This year there could be about 27 matches played on Saturday, of a 110+ match season.
Saturday Nationals gave teams a chance to play teams they couldn't travel to during the season, and the same can hold true by using a modular regional division system.

If you did 6 regions of 3 teams each, this is what I got:
EAST COAST: JMU TOWSON RIT
ILLINOIS: MOODY DEPAUL WIU
NORTH: SVSU UW-P CMU
NORTHERN OHIO/SOUTHERN MICHIGAN: BGSU MSU GVSU
OHIO: OSU MIAMI KENT ST
SOUTH: UK WKU NSULA
Or with 3 regions of 6 teams each:
EAST: JMU TOWSON RIT KENT ST MIAMI OSU
NORTH: GVSU SVSU MSU BGSU CMU UW-P
MIDWEST: WIU DEPAUL MOODY UK WKU NSU-LA
I think the 6 regions is a cooler idea and it'll bring more balance/fun to the Saturday bracket. With 3 regions you'll have to play someone from your own region or two teams from the same region. With 6 regions however you can make it so, for example, WKU plays a team from Michigan, a team from the East Coast, and a team from Illinois.

Shouldnt the teams be more scrambled Hiller? I mean dont teams that didn't get to play one another over the course of the season want to play each other? That's just my opinion seeing how we played only MSU, GVSU and SVSU this season. I know my team would like to play some different teams but we honestly don't necessarily care who we play. Whatever works I'm sure it will be the best situation for everyone.

You are reading it backwards. CMU will play teams outside of their region unless there needs to be some overlap.
