UPA Score Reporter
http://www.upa.org/scores/tourn.cgi?div=23&id=4484

Breakdown: If a team goes undefeated then they advance to Regionals. If every team has a loss then teams will be re-seeded, then play a Semis and Final with the Finals winner advancing.

*However, this format could fluctuate from a 3 to a 5 game tournament, but this prevents a team that goes 3-0 having to win out...again. Theoretically, you could have a team go 3-0 and the other three teams go 1-2. At 3-0, this team has proved that they are the best team.

Seedings

I don't have a ton to go on, but here's the initial seeding based off UPA Score Reporter info. Please let me know if you think this seems unreasonable.

1. Utah (11-6)
2. BYU (8-4)
3. Mont. St. (4-2)
4. Montana (no results)

-Northwest Regionals will be April 26-27 in Davis, California.

Camping

There is a KOA campground which teams have used in the past. Sounds like it's a pretty cheap/convenient option.

Hotel

Teams can do their own research on this one, so just find something close to the fields. Here's a list of some options:
