just picking nits here, but the plan is, as i understood it, to have the top 4 teams host the regionals, not to require the top 4 teams to stage the regionals on their campus venues. a couple of years ago, UAA (anchorage) hosted the NCAA championships in Los Angeles. It would seem to me that it might be a winner for a school to host a regional off campus (or even at a town othere that where the campus is) charlie shub University of Colorado at Colorado Springs [log in to unmask] http://cs.uccs.edu/~cdash (719) 262-3492 (fax) 262-3369
