Are there TWO different sets of rules being used in picking?
At the VCU Regional, the annoucer said ANY team that declines cannot participate in the elimination rounds. This includes a top 8 seed picking another top 8 seed. If the chosen top 8 seed declines, then they cannot participate in the elimination rounds!!! Apparently this is new for 2005.
At the Peachtree however, 1180 had two of their picks decline, both of which were other top 8 seeds. These teams, even though they declined, were allowed to continue, and even make their own picks!!!
What's the deal?

this ruling is
not new... for as long as i remember, it has always been like that, and the second we saw what happened at the peachtree regional, all of the veterans on mentors on the team who are present immidiately asked "Is that legal?" The VCU regional has got it partially right--that rule has always been there, but teams are not
required to accept. if they do not accept, they just dont move on in the tournament. But now Peachtree is in a bind.
this is bad.
