Sorry I didn't get this up earlier. I actually started a post the weekend before any of the recruits started their postseasons, and thought I had it saved to work on the next day. Alas, I couldn't retrieve it, and was too busy with other things (including a vacation) to get to it until now, when many of the recruits have completed their postseasons, and others are entering the final weekend of their respective postseasons.
Those that are interested are welcome to post results, or videos of any of the championship matches (I'll look for them in the future; don't have time to do it now).
