Mark,

They are clearly not using that system. They are very easy to spot. You would see a different mechanic with the chop in most cases and each official, especially the administering official would have their hand on their hip or behind their back based on where they decide to clip the device to their belt. And if you used the system, you would identify it clearly. Now they may use it during the season, but they are not using it during the tournament. At least not the Men's Tournament for sure.

Peace

Why is it used during regular season, but not during the tournament? Are there flaws in the system?

Money...as in they don't want to spend the money on it.

Seems that there would be at least as much money available for tournament games as regular season games.

Maybe it is my old age and I am having trouble seeing if the officials are wearing a box on their waist; I don't have a super dooper (pooper scooper, ) ginormous plasma flat screen, but if esteemed members of ths Board state that PTS is not being used then I will defer to their knowledge.

note: Duffman, see how I apologized for making a mistake.

But getting back to why PTS isn't being used in the NCAA tournament. I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE IT. Even The University of Toledo (my better half's alma mater has it for the regular season) and it's men's team got knocked out at home in the second round for the CollegeInsider.com post-season tournament. The NCAA is swimming in money and PTS is not being used in the Tournament, just no excuse for that.

Okay, time for me to go back in my corning and mind my own business.

Everybody have a nice weekend and good luck in your NCAA pools.

There might be. I know they have had some problems previously and maybe that is the reason for not using it for all tournament games. Each conference decides if they use it and not all conferences use it and I am sure some officials might not be familiar as others. That does not mean that is a good reason, but it seems to be part of the reason it is not used.
