NCAA Tournament Covid Protocol .. interesting tidbits
here's the official release
https://www.ncaa.org/about/resources/med...d-covid-19

a twitter thread of interesting tidbits from matt norlander:
https://twitter.com/MattNorlander/status...0781949956

summary of interesting tidbits:
- they are going to prioritize player isolations and playing shorthanded over cancellations

- there will not be reseeds if a team cant play, matchups will not change.. if a 2 seed cant play.. their will not be a new 2 seed..3seed will not move up for a better matchup

- there will be 4 designated replacement teams, who just missed being picked.. if their are covid cancellation in round 1, they will take the place of the cancelled team
-- in correspondence with the second point...they take the match of the cancelled seed no matter what the matchup is...


if a 1 seed cant play, replacement team will play as the 1 seed vs the 16 seed

another interesting note to point out..

every conference is getting 1 bid no matter what....if they are a 1 bid league and cancel from covid, the conference will choose who takes their place

the committee only chooses replacement teams for teams coming from conferences with 2+ bids
