200nd post on this amazing blog. Blog gist will augur seeding. As blog tries to place teams by accurate parameters & teams who play with heart. Site called bracketaday.blogspot.com but not 1, but 4 brackets for march madness, nit, cbi & cit. Yet called bracketaday.blogspot.com due to technically 1 mm bracket daily plus other 3 tourneys I seed. Try my best to place teams by seeding (march madness & nit only) & location (march madness, nit, cbi & cit).
Today I will throw my hand in predicting how softball tournament in D1 will go. I will pick each game result from regionals to Womens CWS final. I have made sure to include upsets in my D1 tournament predictions so this is not something those who like to go chalk will completely agree with & I also didn't give any reasons for why a certain team will beat a certain team cuz I don't need to. Have given in depth predictions for all games in this tournament of softball & in future I or this blog will maybe thus then go give multiple bracketology articles b4 both D1 baseball tournament & D1 softball tournament ok.

Foreword
about non baseball program teams. I was intrigued to see how many such
teams were in this year's softball tournament, people. Here's the deal. I
am casual about non baseball program but softball program teams doing
well in D1 softball tourney but hate when non softball program but
baseball program teams do well in D1 baseball tourney. So teams such as
Vanderbilt Commodores or Gonzaga Bulldogs are teams I cheer against in D1
baseball tournament. I hate that because there's MLB & variety of
other minor pro leagues in baseball but few pro leagues in softball so a
school without softball isn't giving an opportunity to potential
softball players in their school to have 1 final end to their career.
Yep. Also this isn't a political opinion of mine but in my opinion, it's
misogynist to not give opportunities to female players to play a bat
& ball sport but give it to male players. So let's see how these
softball teams perform when play during tournament occurs. Some games
will be fun. Other games will be duds. But what matters is these student
athletes get the chance to enjoy a cool tourney. I enjoyed listing all
64 teams participating in tournament & guessing how they'll do.
About me calculating number of non baseball programs in softball
tournament: 6 non baseball programs are in softball tournament. That
is almost 10% of field.While it's not much, it still is something to
fathom. I will enjoy seeing these players smash balls in softball
tournament. I guess I'm done.
footnotes.
For my seeds, format to decipher them. Briefly explain. Going for march madness, each # corresponds to overall seed. For example, 1.-> 1 overall march madness seed. Going for nit, each # corresponds to overall seed. For example, 1. -> 1 overall nit seed. Going for cbi, each # corresponds to if team had winning or .500 record 2019 through 2020 season & how great their conference was in 2019 through 2020 season, but once regular season actually starts, each cbi # corresponds to only teams which have winning record 2020 through 2021 season & how great their conference will be in 2020 through 2021 season. For example 1. would be team with fine winning record in fine conference & 9. would be team with not as fine winning record & who plays in not as fine conference as teams above it. Going for cit, each number corresponds to best overall record in list & how great their conference was in 2019 through 2020 season or will be in 2020 through 2021 season. For example 1. would be best winning record team in best conference of eligible conferences & 16. would be not as fine winning record team in not as fine conference as teams above it. Use these footnotes when to try to decipher my seeding above. That's my tips. I followed the rules with regard to march madness & nit seeding & march madness, nit, cbi & cit location. So be fine with reading my number lists for 4 tournaments in d1.

Getting to respond to ur comment(s) will be amazing for me. Will use blogspot commenting system for this website. If u were brought to this blog by 1 blog, website, forum, twitter tweet, facebook post, local TV broadcast etc. please tell me name of what brought u to this blog so I can read what that cbb person who enjoyed or criticized this blog said so I can figure out whether I agree with that person & give web address link, so ur comment can be approved by my pending moderation process, to what brought u so I can see original words they used for my bracketology, seeding & location. If u agree with what I typed, then say that u love what I wrote & tell me which parts. If u disagree with what I typed, then say that u aren't in favor, be polite & tell me which parts u aren't in favor. Be pithy or give rambling comment to what I typed. Length of what person comment doesn't matter to me. Some other things to note. Do not go off topic in ur comment e.g. talking about social studies if u currently are in high school. Tell me what school is ur favorite d1 team so I know if u are inclined to agree or disagree with my post. Do not call me evil, amateur, dumb or any insult if u aren't in favor what I wrote.

High school & college players u enjoy can have their highlights or profile posted in these below comments.
