Has anyone seen the BALOO/OWL Training Updates? a year ago. Chris P. On the Program Updates page, there is a new cover for the BALOO handbook, and on Page 20 of the 3/6/15 FAQ, it says that the BALOO and OWL programs are currently in revision to align the content with the new advancement materials. I'm scheduled to run a BALOO course for my district this summer.
The Regionals are the opening round of the NCAA Tournament. There are 16 Regionals, 8 hosted by the National Seeds and 8 hosted by the next best teams in the field of 64. Each regional contains 4 teams, seeded 1-4.
As for the 2015 NCAA Tournament, Jacksonville, Louisville, Pittsburgh, Charlotte, Columbus, Omaha, Seattle and Portland will host for the first weekend. The regionals will be held in Cleveland, Los Angeles, Syracuse and Houston. For a clean look at the sites for the NCAAs for 2016-2018, take a gander.
