For the third time in the past four seasons, the Yavin 4 Knights have landed the top spot in the "Galactic March Madness" Tournament, which tips off this Thursday. The Jedi in trainging from Yavin 4 finished the season an astounding 34-0 and hope a tournament championship will be the perfect end to a perfect season. The tournament selection committee rewarded them with the overall #1 seed and placed them in the Outer Rim region, where the Jedi should feel perfectly at home, having to travel a mere half a parsec to their opening round games.

After losing the opening game of their conference tournament, The Tatooine Farmboys still managed to hang on to a #1 seed but were booted to the Deep Core region. The Nal Hutta Kingpins landed the top seed in the Inner Rim, and the Korriban Lords received the top spot in the Mid Rim region.

The Mid Rim region is ripe with Dark Siders, Imperials and the like. The Lords will have to make their way past the Death Star Stormies (#2), Iridonia Red Devils (#4), Serenno Counts (#5) and Trandosha Assassins (#6) amongst others.

The Tatooine conference placed an amazing seven teams in the tournament: The Tatooine Farmboys, Bestine Krayt Dragons, Jundland Womp Rats, Anchorhead Dewbacks, Mos Eisley Spacers, Mos Espa Rontos and Fort Tusken Banthas all made the field.

Some fans showed immediate outrage that the Alderaan Spirit and Dantooine Rebels made the field of sixty-four. Both teams failed to appear at several of their games this season, and some observers claim that the Dantooine Rebels do not even exist (although they somehow managed a 21-14 record). Considering they are slated to play the Tatooine Farmboys in their opener, most Holonet reporters don't think it matters much if they show or not.

The winning team will be awarded The Force Trophy, and rumor has it that Luke Skywalker himself will be presenting the award this year.

In the woman's tournament the Witches of Dathomir once again snagged the overall #1 seed, while the Angels of Iego are lined up on the opposite side of the bracket for what could be a titanic clash in the championship game.
