Last year the tournament seemed to make its best effort at moving teams around.........sending North Central to Minnesota, and UW-LaCrosse to Michigan even though each was much closer to the others location.

That's when they discovered the ferry....

I can't believe I just posted that...

Well maybe I'm hoping Calvin and Hope get separated, they could still end up in the same bracket.  It would however be a big mistake to pair them up away from Grand Rapids and Holland.

Hope v Calvin in Columbus anyone?

There's no possible way that Calvin or Hope will host any games are there?

[sac]

Small in my opinion.

As I stated earlier, in odd years the women's programs have priority when it comes to hosting sites..........Calvin is in very good position on the women's side, and if they don't Hope would probably have at least a decent shot.  Although I'm sure that would be controversial.

If the women host, Calvin men's have no shot and thier overall record would make it difficult to justify hosting even if they could.

Hope's men have a slight chance but their regional ranking all year has suggested they aren't ranked high enough to host, but if Calvin's women host that likely leaves DeVos available and it might be hard to keep Hope from getting a set of games in that building. 

I'm saying no, and in a few short hours we'll know.

Any early thoughts on how many GL teams get in this year?

[sac]

Anyone interested in doing a fan poll for the GL region?  I was thinking we could rank the top 10.

[hope1]

shure go for it would be great sac

[kiltedbryan]

Sac,  sounds like a good idea to me.

[ScotsFan]

Sounds like fun to me.  I'm game.

[goscots]

I would give it a try.

[sac]

How about we try a top 10, I'll take ballots untill Tuesday evening, but only count games through Sunday.  A personal message is probably best, if you can't PM yet use email.

10 points for a 1st place vote
9 for second
so on........

We'll see what kind of participation we get.  Please remember the AMCC is in the Great Lakes Region.

Will this week be the first one for submissions? First ballot by this Tuesday evening?

[sac]

Oops, yeah lets do one this week.
