CITIUS College Cup: First round men’s scores and qualifiers

A few weeks ago I introduced the CITIUS College Cup, a season-long knockout tournament in the style of British soccer’s FA Cup.

Every Division I team was seeded into a “virtual” quadrangular meet and scores are determined by marks recorded in various parts of the season. The first round was the outdoor season up through April 8. It took a little while to calculate all the scores and they are below. Scroll all the way to the bottom to see the resulting 192-team (!) quadrangular-meet bracket.

UPSETS

The best thing about any knockout tournament, be it the FA Cup or March Madness or anything else like them, is the upsets. We had a few! The biggest upset was Syracuse, the #29 seed in the East region, finishing dead last in their quadrangular and failing to be one of the 96 teams making it to the second round.

The scores in the East region (teams in bold advance to the second round):
#1 Florida 162, #90 Bucknell 106, Oakland 46, St. Bonaventure 0

SECOND ROUND

The 192 qualifying teams are now reseeded into the bracket below. Scores will be determined using marks made between April 9 and April 30. Scoring is five-deep for individual events (6-4-3-2-1), three-deep for the 4×100 and 4×400 (6-3-1), and two-deep for the 4×200, 4×800, 4xmile, and medleys (3-1).

Winners plus the eight highest scoring second-place teams in each region advance to the quarterfinals.
