I have a mentor who has worked the NCAA-W's tournament the last 4-5 years and she says when they get their opening weekend assignments there is some kind of code/indicator in the notification that tells them whether or not they have a chance to move on.

That might be on the Women's side for sure. I am not sure that applies to the Men's side. The only reason I say that is because there is an official on this list that I know personally (we live in the same town) and he has worked the first round several years and they do not get called or a letter until the weekend is over. It seems like there is no other indication that they go further. But I will ask and find out that is for sure.
