This article describes who users can expect to be the home and away team for College Men's Basketball Tournament games.
Structured Tournament Games (Men's College Basketball Tournament)
The home/away teams will not be assigned based on seed. Instead, starting in 2025, we will assign teams to away/home based on their previous game in the bracket. This allows us to move much faster in the creation of games and odds, because we no longer need to wait for both games to end before slotting them into the next round of the tournament.
Unstructured Tournament or Regular Season Games
Some schools will play tournaments mid-season at neutral venues; in rare cases they will even play a normal regular-season game at a neutral site. In such cases, when we first create the game, we try to match official sources and consensus in determining which team is considered at 'home'.
In some cases there is disagreement over this, or no 'home' team is confirmed until long after the game has been announced. In such cases, as a rule, we do not change the order of teams, as this would create additional disruption for clients.
