2024 regional projections

This projection presupposes some very important things — Washington and Lee did not bid to host while the other seven of the top eight did bid to host. This projection went with Salisbury hosting W&L as the top seed. Salisbury is the fourth iteration of the eighth host after previous attempts with Marietta, Ithaca and Cortland all fell by the wayside for varying reasons.

I could not find an alternative to one repeat matchup without adding a flight. The lone repeat matchup is MIT vs. Maine Maritime, which also played Colby on the same day this season (Sept. 7), making a logical partner for the Mariners quite a challenge while maintaining some seeding semblance.

Anyway, here is something to poke holes at while we await the official verdict tomorrow at noon (central).

Bold = Flight * = Host outside top eight
