Belts don't transfer until the end of a multigame playoff series.

Re: The College Hockey Championship Belt Part IV

Is that always the case? I didn’t think there needed to be an alternate.

Yes, see for example the 2nd post on this thread where as one example it states:
03/19/1949 Minnesota did not make the NCAA Tourney, so Boston College gets an Alternate Belt
Those Belts didn't unify until 03/12/1953. It shouldn't take that long this time.

Re: The College Hockey Championship Belt Part IV

I think some lines didn't update. Michigan is still listed as the challenger for the B1G belt and Princeton still has the Ivy with Brown as the challenger.

I didn't realize that I had the dates for CC-WMU wrong before. Hopefully that is the only error.

If AIC wins Atlantic Hockey, we could have a reunification of the D-II play-up belts in Round 1 at Fargo

None of the league belts can be contested in the first round. I will check late Sunday or early Monday if any others are contested.

Re: The College Hockey Championship Belt Part IV
