Top Conferences and NCAA Bids

Thought that nescac teams couldn't start playing until after a certain date like September 8th? Wouldn't that leave a Labor Day tournament out of the question. Just jumping into the thread so have not read the last few pages.

Adding an extra game for Nescac schools was done because in 2012 Plymouth State and Middlebury game was postponed due to weather and not replayed. This gave Nidd only 13 regular season games and if they were at all decent in 2012 (which they were not) they wouldn't have been able to qualify for NCAA's. The rule states you have to play 14 regular season games minimum. In 2013 a Norwich v Midd game was canceled and never replayed but Midd picked up So.Vermont during the season. 15 games will mean nothing as most Nescac schools will just add another weak opponent
