Has anyone seen the BALOO/OWL Training Updates? a year ago. Chris P. On the Program Updates page, there is a new cover for the BALOO handbook, and on Page 20 of the 3/6/15 FAQ, it says that the BALOO and OWL programs are currently in revision to align the content with the new advancement materials. I'm scheduled to run a BALOO course for my district this summer.
The Regionals are the opening round of the NCAA Tournament. There are 16 Regionals, 8 hosted by the National Seeds and 8 hosted by the next best teams in the field of 64. Each regional contains 4 teams, seeded 1-4.
Since 1999, the NCAA has awarded eight teams with a national seed. These teams automatically host a super regional if they advance past the regional round, unless their facilities are considered inadequate by the NCAA and thus do not bid to host, or their home stadium is unavailable because of scheduling conflicts.
