MORAVIAN NEW YEAR'S TIP-OFF TOURNAMENT SCHEDULE FINALIZED
OVER A THREE-DAY TOURNAMENT

BETHLEHEM, PA --- The Moravian College women's basketball team has had to reschedule its 2002 Moravian New Year's Tip-Off Tournament due to the heavy snow in North Carolina.  The changes are being made to accommodate North Carolina Wesleyan College, which wasn't able to leave Rocky Mount, North Carolina noon on Friday.

Instead of two games on Friday, January 4th, there will be just one game with the Greyhounds hosting Ursinus College at 8:00 p.m.  The schedule below outlines the rest of the tournament.  There will be a tournament champion named even though there is no longer a tournament championship game. 

To determine the tournament champion, a set of tiebreakers will be used in different scenarios.  If there are two teams tied at 2-0, then the tiebreaker is fewest points allowed in the two games followed by most points scored.  The same tiebreakers will be used if all four teams finish at 1-1.  If two teams at 1-1 and there is a team at 2-0, then the tiebreakers will be used to determine the second place team.
