Right, just remember that what matters is the games you PLAY, not the games
that are scheduled.  The NCAA does not make any distinction for in-season
tournament games, except that unlimited overtime is allowed for games in
which a winner must be determined for advancement in the tourney.
Tournament games count like any other game.
 
Along these lines, if one of your games does not get played for some
reason, you may add another to take its place, and this has happened in the
past.  You just have to follow NCAA regulations on the total number of
games you can play.
