<br>
I don't think we have a specific break in the bracket, people sign up
for whichever bracket they'd prefer to play in.<br>
<br>
FWIW I've heard verbally from a few people that they are fine w/ the
extension and proposed Trifecta dates, altho definitely not a majority
of the board.<br>
<br>
The issue with the bracket 1 extension is 1 team is wanting to start
asap and if we hit 9 teams then things get more complex. TBH, I think we
can work around that by randomizing all scenarios ahead of time with
placeholder teams for potential late entries. We can then let the teams
that want to start asap know which 1-3 teams they can go ahead and
schedule games against since they'd be in a position to play those 1-2
regardless of what size we end up with.<br>
<br>
For example, lets say we have teams A B C D E F G H and potential teams I
and J<br>
<br>
In 8 teams, everyone plays everyone so it doesn't matter<br>
9 teams, it'd be 3 brackets of 3, play the other brackets. So we might
randomize and see that ADI, BCF, and EGH are the brackets<br>
10 teams it'd be 2 brackets of 5 and play the other bracket, so we might
randomize and see that ACDFH and BEGIJ are the brackets<br>
<br>
Now if team A wants to start early, we can tell them that they are free
to schedule with teams B, E, G immediately but would need to wait for
the brackets to be set to schedule any other matches.<br>

issue with extending the deadline. Where is the break in the bracket?
If we do extend just for bracket 2, I need to say what point average
teams need to be under for the extended deadline. (We might want to
just extend the deadline for all entrants to avoid confusion. After
all, if a bracket 1 team came in during that period, is there any harm
in allowing them to join?)<br><br></div><div>JC<br></div><div><br><br></div></div>

<br>
We have some initial dates on things that I wanted to confirm with the
board before we sent out an email blast.<br>
<br>
June 4th for the barometer at EBC, Paulette is looking into confirming
if Matt can direct. If not we'd probably just find another director.<br>
June 25th for the captain's teams at EBC, ditto Paulette exploring
Matt's availability<br>
<br>
The round robin is currently scheduled to close at the end of March.
There are plenty of bracket 1 teams, but we need more teams for bracket
2. I've been talking to club managers to ask them to make an
announcement. Barbara Nist is going to announce Monday night, and I also
need to ask Ann Romeo (altho she's also on this list) to make an
announcement Sunday night. I would personally recommend we extend the
bracket 2 deadline to Apr 15 to allow another team or two to form. Given
the fact clubs are just now making these announcements, that'd give
people time to form teams or reach out to me for help finding teammates.<br>
<br>
Remaining trifecta games would be this fall, but dates are still TBD
given the uncertainty from the new regional and our other tournament
schedule stuff.<br>
<br>
Assuming no one has any big objections, it'd be great to do an email
blast in the next few days announcing the trifecta dates and impending
closure of RR enrollment as part of the blast about the newsletter
getting published.<br>
<br>
Also probably add the barometer and Captain's teams to FB at that time.<br>
