I appreciate the help, but I've already got it started on my own and have been playing CPU vs. CPU.

Update-wise, I've decided to churn out the first round, then do the recaps. Five games are in the books; three more to go. Also, I highly doubt I'll be able to keep to the schedule with all that I have to do, so please remain patient. Thanks!

The schedule has been updated to reflect the results of the regional quarterfinals and the schedule for the regional semifinals.

Sweet 16 will probably start Sunday, and I hope to have the next group of results in before Christmas weekend.

Unfortunately, this is done for now. Hopefully, I'll be able to kick it back up sometime soon.
