Could get 4 bids.  Babson is safe, & WPI likely gets in.  Springfield could go either way, I have them in.

[Dave 'd-mac' McHugh]

42, 1, 19... total of 62.

[magicman]

Pat or Dave or Gordon,

Are there 20 Pool C bids and 1 Pool B bid this year?

42, 1, 19... total of 62.

Dave I asked this question, and I see you've replied as well as FCGrizzlies, because this is what is posted on the Tourney Tracker that Pat gave us the link for the other day and I bolded the number 63. I thought maybe we were getting an extra team this year and 1 less bye. I'm still confused. Must be the Tourney Tracker is wrong?

"In Division III basketball, "March Madness" starts in late February. There are 42 automatic qualifying bids into the 63-team NCAA Division III men's basketball tournament and 41 of those AQs are awarded to conference tournament winners.

[Dave 'd-mac' McHugh]

I will check to see what you are talking about... but we are at 62 teams this year... I don't think we move to 63 for another year or two.
