> I don't think any team will "just go through the motions" in such a huge tournament as nationals. No team is guarenteed a spot in the top 8, and even those who feel they are a "lock" to be picked will at least need to exhibit their capabilities. :-Dan

Dan - those teams that make the deal before getting to Florida do so with teams that they already know about - thats the point I'm making here. I know that no one is guarenteed a spot in the top "16", yes I believe there will be 16 picking 2 other teams, that makes a total of 48! Great idea to expand the participation. Teams that have been paying attention already know who they would like to pair up with if given the chance, and when 3 teams decide ahead of time, then it only takes one of then to make it into the top 16, the other 2 no matter how good they are may have no other choice than to play dead in order to secure a spot below the 16th seed! We shall see what happens in 4 short weeks!
