COMMITTEE SAT UPDATE, AT LARGE INFO, MEMBERS ONLY

This is part of the effort by the Volleytalk Selection Committee to pick a field for the Tournament this year. I have been running things poorly and confusing people. At 11:00 AM pacific time I am asking BIK, as somebody who has supported this effort a lot, to run the meeting. My computer does not post Replies on PM or the main thread about half the time, disaster, so I have asked BIK to open a new thread he can modify and control, to whatever extent. PLEASE ATTEMPT TO REFRAIN FROM ENTERING ON THE NEW THREAD IN NOT A MEMBER. Yeah, right, that'll work.


My computer cannot handle mass mailings or long entries, so unless we get another secretary it will have to be handled on thee public board. If you have suggestions, demands, or want to ding a proposed team to make a discussion, please PM me if you want to "protect your identity", to make it easier to back away if no time or don't like proceedings" We will eventually go public with discussions.

PROCEDURES

Following has been proposed. (1) 75% needed to approve team as at large.
(2) For Seedings, assign a point amount to each team with 16 pts for proposed #1 (say, Penn State), 15 for proposed #2 (say, Stanford), etc, until proposed #16 gets 1 point. Each Member votes, then add up. This would be very quick, not sure about accuracy.
(3) For adjustments, say 4 B1G in one bracket, or for needed fudging for hosts, 60% approval needed.
(4) Brackets to be filled in by seeded order

Two additional caveats from me, either of which can be rejected as not options open to the NCAA (please vote on these two AND whether we should precisely follow NCAA rules, or not.)
(1) Want to try to see at least 3 from each sub-regional from within distance, and/or (2) Been proposed elsewhere that each subregional have at least one atlarge qualifier added, no 3 AQ in any regional.
