MAY 16 2011 UPDATE   

NCAA CHAMPIONSHIP   

The championship bracket has been published on www.spysoftball.org.   

Conference final standings (May 15) have been published on www.spysoftball.org.   

An updated NCAA RPI will be published on Wednesday.  The May 11 RPI was published on www.spysoftball.org.   

The ESPN/USA Softball and NFCA/USA Today polls will be published on this site on Tuesday.   

Now that final games have been played, SPY will publish lists of all-conference teams.   

SPY coverage of regionals will offer minimized game notes; under threat of death, disembowlment and other painful afflictions, SPY must attend a family reunion away from my bank of four computers, and will publish in late evenings.
