2017 WIAA division 1 boys basketball tournament

The Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association (WIAA) division 1 boys basketball tournament features the 70 largest (student body) schools in the state of Wisconsin. The tournament takes place over three weeks from February 28-March 18.

The 70 teams are split up into sectionals representing four regions of the state.
Sectional 1 - Northern (Marshfield)
Sectional 2 - Eastern (Sheboygan North)
Sectional 3 - Southern (Sun Prairie)
Sectional 4 - Milwaukee area (West Allis Central)
() = location of Sectional championship game

Winners of each sectional will play in Madsion, WI at the Kohl Center to determine the state championship. State tournament playoffs are sectional 1 champion v sectional 3 champion and sectional 2 champion v sectional 4 champion.

For more information about the tournament please visit wiaawi.org

The maps will be updated after each round in the tournament.
Regionals level 1 games are similar to "play-in" games so there won't be much change from level 1 to level 2.

Fish Center Live maps

These are three maps I made for the AdultSwim.com streming show Fish Center (Fishcenter?) Live. Fish Center Live is a live streaming fish game call-in talk show which allows fans to call in and win points (or lose points) for their favorite fish by playing games. At the end of each week a fish is crowned king of the tank and at the end of a season (typically 10 weeks) the fish with the most kingships in the season is declared the season's king. The Natural Habitats map spawned a video series on Fish Center Live in which each fish is featured with notes about the fish and where they're from.

Update:
After viewing the hosts struggle to interpret the static maps I created a KMZ (to be viewed in Google Earth) containing the habitats for every fish that has ever been on Fish Center. This interactive file allows makes for easier understanding of where the fish can be found.

College Football National Champions

With the introduction of a playoff in collegiate football FBS the team who wins the national championship is now legitimate... or are they? Ever since 1869 when the first version of football was played between Rutgers and Princeton there has been controversy around who the national champion is leading many to state that a national championship in collegiate football D-1A/FBS is "mythical". The new College Football Playoff allows four teams to compete for a national championship but there will no doubt still be controversy around who gets to participate (TCU and Baylor were snubbed of participation in the playoff while Ohio State got selected and ended up winning the championship).

I have compiled maps showing the various ways schools have been selected as national champions in football ranging from the first games in 1869 to 2014.
