Since teams are now able to schedule up to 32 regular-season games with no multi-team event exemption/requirement—starting with this season—this page will focus solely on bracketed and other multi-day/multi-game events (think Players Era and round-robin tournaments). Since there’s no need to set up scheduling arrangements masquerading as exempt tournaments, there’s no longer a need for me to track what every single D1 program is doing.
Teams may also now participate in more than one tournament per season!
