I just have 1 small question, i thought there was 65 teams..... 2 have to play each other for the right to be the 64th team

[Michael]

Whoever wins that game is going to get beat by Louisville, though.

[emoney]

Yeah, there are 65 teams, but for the most part all brackets start with the Top Seed overall vs the "play in winner" so the brackets can start being distributed, collected, and tallied as early as possible without even knowing who that 64th team will be.  So I followed the crowd and called that 64th team in the "Opening Round Winner".  

I wanted to release right after the tournament teams were announced last night but I soon realized I had the regions setup completely wrong!   So I fixed that today.  

Tomorrow I have to show my coworkers how to navigate IPB...

Dang, Michael and riven in a mod support thread of mine??   I feel honored.    And yeah, I don't think that play-in winner has ever won... let alone any 16's over 1's...

[riven3d]

16 over 1 has happened a few times, I love the idea of the mod, now if you could make something like this for other sports it would be cool.

you know a nice baseball season/playoffs nfl/playoffs. possibilities are endless.....

Yep, after I get a well-needed break (ibBookie 2.0 was rough!) I'll explore doing more plugins.   .. or maybe even a built-in feature in ibBookie to allow admins to create their own tournaments that could be used universally... hmm I'm getting ahead of myself, dang you!   

And I double checked just now, "1 seeds are a perfect 96-0 against No. 16 seeds" is what I found.  You had me second guessing myself for a minute!

[riven3d]

ya I see no 1 team have always defeated no 16 so far, BUT that is not to say a no 1 team has lost its first game in the tournament.

had to go look, in 81 2 no 1 lost their first game and it happened in 80 also didnt try to look farther back

[emoney]

ah, gotcha.   I should've specified in the modern seeding system no #1 team has lost their first matchup.

bugfix, if you downloaded before this post please redownload and reupload the files (just the lib file will do).

[emoney]

Updated the teams and the year and a couple other small things, and reuploaded it.    

Almost March Madness time!
