NCAA 68 Game Format - IMPORTANT - NEW THIS YEAR
This year the NCAA has expanded the tournament field from 65 teams with one Play-in Game to 68 teams with four Play-in Games. In each case, 64 teams end up competing in the MEANINGFUL bracket that is used by the Tournament.
The NCAA increased the number of Play-in Games from one to four. The region and the bracket of each Play-in Game, now called The First Four Matchups, will be announced during the March 13th Selection Sunday show.
As in the past, points will not be awarded for picking the winners of First Four Matchup play-in games. Does anyone really care about the play-in games anyway?
Brackets will be accepted after the NCAA announces the seeds on Selection Sunday, March 13th. If you are concerned the outcome of the First Four Matchups may impact your bracket, simply wait until after the Play-in Games have been completed on Wednesday, March 16, 2011 to submit your bracket.
We will treat First Four Matchups similar to how the single play-in game was managed the past few years. When the brackets are posted on Selection Sunday we will show both play-in teams in the First Four Matchups slots on the bracket (example: XU/PU).
The MarchMelee bracket will be updated on Wednesday, March 16, 2011 after First Four Matchups winners have been determined. Tournament participants will not be rewarded or penalized for the outcomes of First Four Matchup games. The winning teams of First Four Matchups will be shown in the 64-Team bracket after First Four Matchup games have been played.
