According to my very reliable sources, Welmer not working the NCAA tournament was not a "computer snafu." Welmer turned back his NCAA tournament assignment because he only got assigned 1 game instead of 2 (that the normal big-dogs get) during the first weekend. He saw it as a sign of disrespect.
Eric Curry, the suspended Big Sky official, was originally not assigned a NCAA tournament game but got the call when Welmer turned his back.
