Conference Tournament Simulations

As promised, I've started doing the conference tournament simluations in the separate pages. Basically I seed all of the teams at the end of each simulation and run a simulated tournament for each appropriate conference and then calculate RPI. For a more detailed description of what I do see here:

To see your team's webpage, there are links near the tops of the overall page and individual team pages to those with conference tournaments included in the simulations.

Here's the overall page which includes conference tournament simulations in the RPI: http://www.rpiforecast.com/ct/index.html

And as an example, here's Duke's page with the tournament included: http://www.rpiforecast.com/teams/ct/Duke.html

SO the difference is the ct folders in the address. You should be able to find your team, however, by going to their page and clicking on the link.

Server Issues Fixed/Conference Tournaments

Well, the server issues seem to have been resolved, so hopefully no more problems going forward. As soon as I get a chance, I'm going to start adding (as I have done in past seasons) simulated conference tournaments for each of the 10,000 simulated seasons. The big hurdle in implementing that is figuring out all of the different formats and seeding schemes.

Server Issues

I'm having some serious issues with the hosting service I'm using to the point that It's virtually impossible to update the site. Hopefully that will be resolved soon. I had all of the data ready to update this morning, but was not able to do so. I did end up getting the main page and the conference pages up, but that took quite some doing. Some of the pages appear to be a few days old. That's because they somehow defaulted to a recent backup.
