I had to go back and look at it up as well. Thse are what you might call loophole games. As you mentioned about the number of games you can play, and exempt tournaments allow you to play up to 4 games and count them as one, so since the B4A is only three games, they more or less add an extra home game to each teams' schedule. But these games are not a part of the tournmaent itself, whcih has actual brackets, winners brackets, loser brackets, etc. Each team coudl have lost and it would have no affect, whereas once you get to the tournament, which starts on November 22, wins and losses affect who you play.

Dude, I'm just enjoying the games & sharing that experience. Even when you thought you were right, your last post was extra that I don't need, next time you can save for somebody else.

True, but you said the B4A didn't even know those teams, Yeah, they do. And the tourney teams have to coordinate their schedules to play a group of the same stateside teams. It's a common practice to set things up like that. They are "technically" part of the tourney, due to jumping through NCAA hoops, for scheduling reasons.

I know I did, and I acknowledged it was incorrect. But that they were also not part of the tournament.

As for the tock, if you prefer, you can continue to talk to yourself on this thread.

Stop it. You are flat wrong. Read this about the Louisville-Samford game:

Message board tuff guy

Triple A, do you know what a tournament is? I linked the tournmanet infoabove. The goddamned website says he tournament runs from nov. 22-24. Their website, the people who organozed and run it: not me. So tell that to the Atlantis people.

Rock, when i post under my real name, as a real person, doesn't count as an Internet tough guy, since that implies hiding behind a screen ame, but if makes you feel better , to you I'm just a real tough guy

You're really getting upset about this? No reason to cuss me out.

Tell it to the media who wrote the line I posted earlier, and again below. I have explained several times exactly why it IS considered part of the tourney, even though those games are not part of the Bahamas play.

It IS a technicality, as I said before, but it IS still part of the "Battle 4 Atlantis."

When you started out berating TheRock about this, you didn't even know that, yet you corrected him for it. That is the only reason I jumped into this stupid argument.

Quotes from you in this thread:

Post #37: Note that the Louisville / Samford game has no relation to the battle 4 Atlantis tournament.

Post #77: Or perhaps the tournament organizers themselves , who have no idea who Samford or Miami of Ohio are.

And to repeat, here's what the media said about the Louisville-Samford game:

Louisville, KY – Russ Smith netted a game-high 18 points on 7-of-14 shooting as No. 2 Louisville thumped Samford, 80-54, on Thursday in the Battle 4 Atlantis Tournament.

I'm done. Say what you want.

Dude, the key word here, that I keep stressing, is TOURNAMENT. They are not a part of the "tournament." Perhps i sjould have previously stressed it with quitatikn marks. there are 8, and only 8, tes in the tournament, which had bradkets, of which tjose other tre are not apart of. I stated that after I acknowlegded what you said about the prelim games, which you ignored on each of your responses. The actual tournament, which I am going to, which bleep explaining, starts on Wednesday. Not today . Not last Thursday. Not tomorrow. November 22.
