Will the CCLA Division B championship be on Saturday night (May 5) or Sunday afternoon (May 6)?

What time is the CCLA Division A Championship on Sunday, May 6th?

I believe Div B champ has to be on saturday just in case that calvin makes it. they can not play any games on sunday. I heard this but im not sure if its true.

Who is playing whom? Can we at least post dates, times and match ups?

From the standings, I should assume that Friday is CMU v. Pitt and MSU v. U of I, the winners advancing to play U of M and SUNY Buffalo, respectively...

Have you thought to look at the CCLA website? :shock:

One outstanding issue is Indiana, decided not to go due to conflicts with graduation and mandatory exams.

Thank you Mr Sharp and Keeper for the update. Last time I checked the CCLA site, it only had the seed numbers

Weak news about IU... so does MSU get a forfiet or are they going to try to get the #4 team out of the South (WVU?)

An invite was put out to other CCLA teams to replace IU. It appears that Ball State will be taking their spot. Many other teams could not put a trip together on such short notice.

IU's finals are this week, so it seems this was more of an issue of timing more than anything else. Isn't this something the CCLA takes into consideration when planing the tournament given this is a time most schools are holding their finals?

Well, I know for a fact other schools have finals this week as well. I find difficult to sympathize with Indiana's situation. Plus, other schools have finals during the week of nationals, etc. It's part of the deal, balancing school and lax. Those that want it bad enough find a way to make it work. Credit goes to Ball St for stepping up. Best of luck to those playing this weekend.

I dont disagree that other teams make it work and so should IU. I think any team within the CCLA or any other conference for that matter should consider it an honor and privilege to be invited to a post season tournament. But extenuating circumstances do arise and weighing a post season tournament against attending graduation is difficult.
