Notice the second round crew selections this morning in Orlando. Each member of the crews came from the six officials who worked the two games NOT involving the teams to which they are assigned in the second round.

Example:
There are four games at each first round site and eight teams.
Game 1 = Team A v Team B
Game 2 = Team C v Team D
Game 3 = Team E v Team F
Game 4 = Team G v Team H

Now the second round pairs the winners and in this fashion:
Game 5 = Game 1 v Game 2 (officials from Games 3&4)
Game 6 = Game 3 v Game 4 (officials from Games 1&2)

The officials were selected such that the crew for Game 5 is composed of officials who worked Game 3 or Game 4 and those officiating Game 6 worked Games 1 & 2 in the first round. This prevents an official from seeing the same team in Rounds 1 & 2. This has not been the case in the past. I’m curious if this will continue throughout the second round.
