Britgirl,
I have no way to determine regions. Especially this early, I did not look at that at all. I got the 68 teams that I believed "earned" a bid and then ranked them. Then I just placed them in order and snaked them around.
The way that they determine which region a team ends up in is very interesting though. They try not to set you up to play anyone in conference in the first two rounds. They also try and keep regular season OOC games out of the first two rounds.
Here's the NCAA's bracket rules, which I have added to the post.

Thanks!
Very complex but I guess the NCAA is trying to be as fair as possible during the selection process.
Now I see how you came up with the regions and teams there-in. Good work!
When I was reading about the actual team selections (rather than the placement in brackets)
I came up with a "what if?".
A voting committee member can't vote in any part of the selection process that contains a team he/she is affiliated with (good thing). It's therefore possible that quite a few members would be unable to vote in a certain phase of the balloting, because they are all affiliated with a team being voted upon.
This would mean that far less voters would be responsible for the picks in that part of the ballot. Might that skew the results??
