2006 College Easterns Pools

The 17th Annual College Easterns tournament is next weekend, April 1st
and 2nd.

Using a format loosely based on the World Cup soccer draw, this year' s
tournament has a twist in that the teams are going to be placed in 4
pools of 4 based on tiers instead of by straight seeding.

Placement within each tier will be random and we'll draw out the first
two tiers (Top-4 and NC teams) tonight (Sunday) and the last two Monday
night.

Below are how the teams have been divided up into different tiers and a
few rules retricting what pool a team can in:
