Chapter 61 - League Championship
的 The regular season of each league ended, and the championship began immediately.
The NCAA alliance is composed of alliances of all sizes. March Madness is targeted at schools with only first-level alliances.
But even for the first-tier league schools, because they are all over the United States, NCAA officials also allow each league to use different rules for the championship.
最后 Anyway, the team that finally entered the championship is the 36 wild card teams selected by the 32 league champions and the organizing committee.
The rules allow for differences, but most of the leagues use the top eight single game system similar to the NBA.
Like the Big East league, the top eight teams advance to the championship, and then they fight in the order of first eighth and second seventh, until the final championship is decided.
Because wild card teams have very large variables, winning the final championship is the safest way for each school to advance to the championship.
It is precisely because of this that the championship in the single-amoy tournament system is not less exciting than the championship.
