Brackets and Changes

We finished up brackets around 3:30 this morning (they are posted), I triple checked them but I am sure there are still some mistakes. We will go through them two more times this evening and catch all the gym and start time mistakes. What helps us if you look for the flow errors – follow your team through in every scenario (G12 can’t do this yet because I am still waiting to post until this Team USA stuff shorts itself out). Also I have made a dozen or so changes to seeding where it is an obvious mistake or if a team is scheduled to play a very familiar opponent in the first two games. I have two new ones to change B14 SATCH White and B16 Cincinnati Trailblazers – I am going to let Cheryl sleep in for a while to sleep for a while and I am telling you this because if you requested:

1) A simple game time change due to travel on Monday or Tuesday
2) A change because of a familiar opponent
3) Or an obvious seeding error (we beat them 3 times and you have them in front of us)
And it is not changed now, it is not scheduled to be changed – somehow in my mind I think I have already done it, so you need to contact me again. If I reject your request I will respond by e-mail, so hearing nothing from me does not mean I don’t like you and I am not going to make the change.

I am originally from the east coast (north) so I have a unique combination of Oklahoma friendliness and east coast honesty. Here is how this works out. I work very hard to work for you to make this a great experience for you and your kids; I will bend over backwards for you whenever possible. Now if you are unreasonable year after year and I get feed up with it and you make unreasonable requests – I just e-mail you and tell you I don’t like you and I am not going to make the change. It is so much easier this way. LOL Cheryl will read this post when she gets up and say “you are not allowed to make any more post when you are tired with me checking them first”
