A new resource for the 2012 season

The UAA posted a stellar non-conference record during the 2011-2012 season.

Last year we posted a new resource called the Conference Guidebook that compiles the non-conference records, recent NCAA tournament results, champions and award winners for the 43 conferences and independent members of Division III.

The first edition was the culmination of three years of effort.  The second edition was pulled together during the past offseason with the same elements. For each conference we have:

- An introductory page that lists the conference members, each member's most recent championship in the current conference and membership changes since 2006.

- A summary of past seasons with final standings, NCAA tournament results, first team all-conference selections and statistical leaders. All conferences have summaries for the past two seasons and many have them for three.

- A list of the conference's major award winners, NCAA tournament results since 2000, D3hoops.com All-Americans, national semifinalists and Jostens Trophy finalists.

This year's edition adds historical notes on each conference including its former members. The front section of the guide shows non-conference records and performance in the last 10 NCAA tournaments on a conference-by-conference basis.

Pulling this together involved a lot of data collection and data entry over four years. There is some information we couldn't locate, usually marked with highlighted blanks. And there are undoubtedly some errors or omissions. When you find errors or if you have missing information, please let us know by email at gordon.mann@d3sports.com.
