2013 Division III NCAA Tournament

[Titan Q]

Does anyone have a copy of the 2011 NCAA Division III Men's Basketball Championship Handbook.  I need to check the order the introductions, anthem etc.  for my game on Saturday.   I was able to google it in 2011, but can't find it this year

Yeah... it isn't in there, Bob

That information is part of the "Host Operations Manual" which is on the NCAA.org site but it's behind the password wall. Your school and/or your SID should have it.

I have an old document. For a single game it looks like this:

Single Game Schedule
6 p.m. Floor available for team warm-up—55-minute countdown begins.
6:40 p.m. Officials meet with team captains.
6:55 p.m. Timer sounds buzzer–teams clear floor.
Presentation of colors and national anthem.
Player introductions/crowd-control statement.
7 p.m. Tip-off.

The one on D3Hoops is only the pre-championship manual.   I have the 2011 manual and just wanted to make sure there were no format changes and there don't appear to be any.

[Dave 'd-mac' McHugh]

The only format change I have learned, but can't determine as of yet because I haven't looked it up, is that instead of alternating the starting line-ups between the teams for each "position," you can now announce one team completely followed by the other (home).

Can you turn off the lights and play ayo technology?

Are you sure about that one?  I find it hard to believe that the NCAA would actually stray away from that.  Maybe someone out there has the manual they can attach a link to

They have strayed away from alternating introductions. The D-I Final Four last year didn't alternate introductions, so that CBS could do their little video montages to go with it. Since they stopped doing it at D-I, they've given the other levels more leeway.

That is what I have learned... I am following up.

I believe it's still in the Host Manual to do alternating introductions, but I know if you ask nicely and want to do one team at a time, the NCAA rep on site might approve it. Providing, of course, you treat both teams equally.

Tournament is underway.  R-MC and Stevens playing at Lehman College.  That is a small, compact gym.  Great coverage from Emprie8.tv, though.  Quality presentation.

However, it's a pretty terrible game.  Really sloppy.  I don't see either of these teams going far in the tournament.

What the hell is RMC doing??  They can't hit a perimeter shot at all, yet they keep shooting them.  What was once a 16 point RMC lead; 42-26, is now tied at 46 due to a 20-4 Stevens run.

It's either poor coaching or intentionally defiant execution.  Either way it's bad basketball.

Turned into a good game but poorly played basketball.  Tied at 56 3:49 left.
