In order to be contend for the 2 mil, they need a commitment from Nicholson. Just my 2 cents. I love the guys they’ve assembled, but AN would be a game changer. Kloof would be a huge addition as well.

I’m really clueless/perplexed as to how they select the field of 24. Anybody want to shed some light?

I watched some guys last night try to do a bracketology for TBT.
Roster quality, Fanbase support, Reliability, and Narrative.
If we landed AN we would definately check the first 3 boxes. Even without him I think we stack up ok on the first box, great on the next two our fans and guys will be there if they say they are coming. The narrative I'm not so sure on.

Based on Tweets last night it looked like Yossou was interested in joining the squad so that would be a good add and give us some needed size. The problem with getting some guys is if they are overseas still they might have a hard time getting back to the states. Especially guys that were foreign players.

Would love to see KLOOF!
Phenomenal athlete, defender, player. A bit of an underrated Bonnie.

We've discussed what it takes to be considered "eligible", obviously with much more than 24 teams considered eligible, how do they pare down to 24. There are at least 84 eligible teams. This is all that is said......they don't even have NET or RPI, so how do they do it....who is on the selection committee? Do we have a chance. Will players drop out because the total prize is now cut in half to $1M. www.thetournament.com/about

We are 3rd in fan support. Not sure how much that helps, but its supposed to be a major factor. www.thetournament.com/teams Filter by Fans to see ranking in that category.

I watched some guys last night try to do a bracketology for TBT. Roster quality, Fanbase support, Reliability, and Narrative. are the RPI/Kenpom/NET of the TBT How they weight/quantify these factors I'm not sure. Roster Quality seems to be based on past performance in TBT: We have some decent experience as Posley's teams have won early round games in the past and Dion was on the VCU alumni team that made a run a few years ago. Fanbase: currently top 5 in fan support but @brownwhitetbt needs to increase their followers in case that comes into play so if you have a twitter throw them a follow. Reliability: They have had problems when the field was 64 teams with teams only getting part of their team to the regional sites, which is how Posley ended up on a team last year, he got called like the week of the tourney to join a team that would have been short handed. I don't think this is a problem but they might talk to each GM to make sure funding exists to send guys to Columbus. Narrative: Teams that are returning favorites or have celebrities associated with the team will get a bump in the ratings. So I would guess we rank high in fanbase and reliability but lower in roster quality and poorly in narrative.
