TSB VIII

 TSB VIII was played on 2/4/24 from about 1:00 until about 5pm.

There were 11 participants. We made the computer a 12th team to give us 3 divisions of 4. For each division, the lowest seeded team chose their preference for an NFL direction (NESW) which meant they could choose to play their games from any of 8 teams (For example, if one picked the EAST, one could pick from the teams in the AFC or NFC east). The highest seeded team was left to pick the last remaining NFL direction. Teams played everyone in their division. The 3 division winners plus 1 wild card team (point-differential) made the playoffs. The highest seeded playoff participant was allowed to pick any NFL division to choose teams from. Throughout the tournament, you could only be a team once per NFL draft.
