I guess you just have to do anything possible to avoid the 6-8 seed.
exactly. Im ok with these rules; but, In a year where the 1 and 2 seeds completely dominated, we're going to give them a boost by letting them get an earlier 2nd pick? oh well. MARC will still be tons of fun nonetheless. Can't wait to go.
