Oooo, thanks! I hate spoiler titles, but had completely forgotten about NOT having them!!! And with the number of matches and the availability of ESPN+ delayed watching (dvr for everyone who doesn’t have a dvr) I’d be tempted to say leave the vague, non-spoiler title even *after* today.
For me, I think the day of the match is actually the perfect time to make the title change with the team names in it. It gives folks time to watch a replay tonight for a match they missed and really want to see, and they can still scroll through VT without much risk of a result being spoiled.
The day of the match (Friday), I want to be able to look at the OP in this thread and see exactly who's playing who, when, because I can't keep straight who all is playing in which sub-regional.
I also want to add that if someone is that interested in seeing several first round matches while not being subject to spoilers the day after, they really shouldn't be on VT tomorrow. Anyone who's been on here even a little while knows it's a minefield when trying to avoid spoilers. Instead of us catering to that small slice of the VT population at the expense of the masses, I think it's better for us to have the thread titles say the team names on the day of the match so people know what match they want to watch and which thread to go to without having to keep straight who all is playing at which subregional. |

You bet! I also made a link to it at the top of the OP for this thread for easy access.

It's tournament opener day!!! We're all caught up for day one of the first round match threads- great work, everyone! basil rainbowbadger baytree manyshaped ilikecorn eazy houstonbear15 exit237a bruinsgold JT JJVb trainermch avid 2.0 Thought I'd bring up the conversation we had last year about avoiding spoilers in the titles of our second round match threads as they get made: That would be awesome! Yes, something vague enough to not spoil like: Round 2 | Kentucky Sub-Regional | Fri, Dec 1 - 6 PM CT | ESPN+There are eight round two match threads for games being played tomorrow that could possibly be created today (these are the ones that will be based on today's results). As avid mentioned in our conversation last year, it would be great if we could go with the vague naming convention like my example above. Then we can change the titles tomorrow to reflect who's actually made it to the second round in each sub-regional, while not spoiling results in the thread titles. FWIW, this effort would be consistent with the spirit of this message that's posted at the top of the main board: Please avoid "spoilers." Do not post the outcome of matches in the title. Thanks.
Oh, fork, I totally missed this. Will update mine. Sorry. |

Didn't we say we needed the "round" reference in the thread titles? and that those who don't want spoilers should stay away from VT? Just need clarification.
