if you do a bracket show, then do AT LARGE TEAMS, forget the wait list and open registration. do at large bids for regionals. proportional to the # of regionals that week.

for example

VCU this year 66 Teams=7 At Large Bids
UCF this year 51 Teams=6 At Large Bids
Waterloo this year 30 Teams=4 At large bids

or do it by capacity

you can therefore take the teams that are already registered and have the money, etc.

i think this is the best way

Judges decide the At Large Bids at the Regionals, or us the viewers through online polls or mentors polls, just like for college football's Coaches poll, maybe a mentor poll or something.

Now that is an idea, do the final division parings on the SUNDAY before nationals

like selection Sunday, and the games don't start till thurs.
