Re: 2017-18 MIAA Thread
Teams are permitted a maximum of 26 regular season games (with some allowances for exempt tournaments, etc), and to be eligible for the NCAA D2 tournament, teams must play a minimum of 22 games against Div. II teams. Of those 22, 18 must count as "in-region" games.
Games in conference tournament play do not count towards the overall game maximum, or the minimum 22/18 requirements.
So, for the MIAA, they get 19 games there that count towards the 22/18 requirements, meaning that to be eligible, only three of their final seven (or nine, depending if they are playing in an exempt tournament like a conference challenge the first weekend), have to be against other NCAA D2 schools. That allows schools to do a lot of stacking against non D2 teams to get home games.
