Chapter 61 League Championship
The regular seasons of the leagues are coming to an end one after another, and the championship game is about to start.
The NCAA league is made up of major leagues, and March Madness only targets schools in the first-tier leagues.
But even the schools of the Division I league, because they are all over the United States, NCAA officials allow each league to use different rules for championship games.
Anyway, the last team to enter the championship is the 32 league champions and the 36 wild-card teams selected by the organizing committee.
The rules are allowed to be different, but most leagues follow the NBA-like top-eight single-scoring system.
Like the Big East League, the top eight teams advance to the championship game, and then they fight in the order of the first play eighth, the second play seventh, until the final champion is determined.
Because there are very large variables in wild-card teams, winning the final championship is the safest way for schools to advance to the championship.
It is precisely because of this that the championship game of the single competition system is not much less exciting than the championship.
