This is going to come down to 3 scenarios: 1. TCU wins - garnet04 is runaway winner 2. Georgia Tech wins - cindra , vbfamily , vballfan17 have best odds, then Kingsley 3. South Dakota wins - smb is the runaway winner So going into the semi-finals 6 people still have chance to win. I don’t know how this could be, I picked a team that lost in the first round to be in the finals!!

I don’t know how this could be, I picked a team that lost in the first round to be in the finals!! Right now you, cindra, and vballfan17 all have 3 of 4 teams in final 4 and it just depends who is in the finals. You will fall out if cindra and vballfan17 have two teams in finals though. Kingsley has 3 teams in final 4 also, but he has same two teams in final as you so he actually has no chance because he is behind you in points already. cindra and vballfan17 both have South Dakota vs Georgia Tech in Finals so if that is the final then it will come down to total points between those two. If final is Tulsa vs Georgia Tech then it will come down to total points between cindra, vballfan17 and you.

I don't know how accurate Massey Ratings is for Volleyball, but they do currently have a good deal of data to crunch. In their match-up tool here are the odds for the semis and the final: (link)Semi-finals:Tulsa -@ USD: ----81% chance Yotes win (most likely 3-1)TCU --@ GA Tech: 76% chance Jackets win (most likely 3-1)Finals:USD --@ GA Tech: 59% chance Jackets win (3-2)GA Tch@ USD: ----65% chance Yotes win (3-2)
TCU --@ USD: -----79% chance Yotes win (3-1) USD --@ TCU: -----57% chance Yotes win (3-2)
Tulsa--@ GA Tech: 77% chance Jackets win (3-1)Tulsa--@ TCU: -----63% chance Frogs win (3-2)Tulsa has no chance of hosting IMO. Not enough attendance. TCU has great attendance potential, but laid an egg when they had their chance to host (attendance-wise). My guess is the host will have to be South Dakota or Tech. (unless both are eliminated) 62% odds of a USD-GA Tech final 19% odds of a USD-TCU final 14% odds of a GA Tech-Tulsa final 5% -odds of a TCU-Tulsa final Of course, if these odds are bad from the get-go, garbage in, garbage out. It's something to talk about, anyway.

What a perfect outcome for this tournament. Two notably snubbed teams chose to keep playing and keep winning. The stream from GoYotes.com is done very well, IMO. No other D1 matches on Tuesday, so check it out: goyotes.com/watch/?Live=886&type=Live

Unofficially, it appears that the winner of this contest will be determined by the total points scored in the championship match tiebreaker. cindra and vballfan17 both picked Georgia Tech and smb4 would fall a point short even if their pick of South Dakota to win it all turns out to be correct.

My favorite thing about GT is how the 6-5 OH poaches passes from the L on serve receive.

Set 2, same results: 25-23 GT. There's a good battle going on between two good hitters.

cindra has won the NIVC PTW contest for 2019. Both cindra and vballfan17 had Georgia Tech winning so it came down to total points. A very tight final of 138 points. cindra total points 186 and vballfan17 total points 206 Front page will be updated shortly for all participants.

Congratulations cindra . I am happy ending up in a 4th place tie, given that I only picked 2/4 in the third round. Thanks for running the contest, vbprisoner .
