Details of last month's NCAA Division I Ice Hockey Selection Committee Meeting are in an article in the latest NCAA News, now available online at http://www.ncaa.org/news/20000814/active/3717n10.html Major decisions I have not seen reported before: * All five conferences with automatic bids have decided to give them to the winners of their postseason tournaments. * If the top two teams in the country on the basis of selection criteria are from the same region, the second-best team will be the #1 seed in the other region. There is also an article on the awarding of the 2004-2006 Frozen Fours, at http://www.ncaa.org/news/20000814/active/3717n11.html and a report on the Women's Ice Hockey Committee meeting, at http://www.ncaa.org/news/20000814/active/3717n08.html John Whelan, Cornell '91 [log in to unmask] http://www.amurgsval.org/joe/ Consider the alternative: http://slack.net/~whelan/cgi-bin/tbrw.cgi?kpairwise
