San Diego Nike National Prep Classic:
Mayor's Cup--"Emerald" Bracket & Schedule--(Dec. 25, 1998)

There are six brackets for the San Diego Nike National Prep Classic. Only two of them are 16 team brackets, the National and American Brackets. The rest are (with the exception of the "Diamond" division) 8 team brackets. And it's true for all of these brackets that if you're trying to follow the progress of just a single team (e.g., you are a player, parent or just a fan of one team in particular) then you must know which bracket your team is in because the various brackets don't compete against one another.

La Jolla, Torrey Pines, Red Bluff (Red Bluff, CA), Mount Miguel (Spring Valley, CA), Bonanza (Las Vegas, NV), Orange Glen (Escondido, CA), Springville (Springville, Utah) and one other team to be determined (we suspect it will be just a bye in the schedule).

Again, we've tried to take the work out of it for you all and provided not only the brackets graphically, but also a schedule for each bracket.Here's the Mayor's Cup Emerald Division Bracket, and the Mayor's Cup Emerald Division Schedule. Please Note: We've already posted up a Composite Schedule for all the Saturday Games. This one is just for the "Mayor's Cup Ruby" Division. We'll be posting the others up separately as well.

Remember, the tournament runs from Saturday December 26, through Wednesday (New Year's Eve), December 31, 1998, and the games will be held at 5 different locations, with the brackets playing games all over the place.

This bracket was really much easier to figure out than the National and American Brackets. The only oddity will be game E6, in the losers' half of the bracket where the loser of game E3 will not meet the loser of E4 because there won't be a loser of E4. We've also extrapolated when we think the later rounds will be played, and our schedules for games E8, 9, 10 and 11 may be completely wrong, but then so was the screwy schedule we were supplied with, which had the championship game listed as the "Winner of E6 v. Winner E7" as the title game; those teams don't play each other though, if the bracket is correct. Something is wrong, but we aren't in a position to know. Hey, we'll try to find out, but we don't make this stuff up.
