I always presumed it was till the end of the CT.
There is 34 practices in a season starting after the first exhibtion game.
So 2 exhibtion games, 10 non conf, 18 conference days and 4 CT games
which is 34 practices. So yes it should last until the very end of the CT
Is it possible you just never noticed the changes? I guess I'll have to pay attention and double check if there is 34 practices I'll pay attention to Iba
this is correct. 34 practices.
There used to always be an off day between non-conf and conference games. As mentioned this also was a day when if the schedule required, an 11th game was played.
A couple years ago some worlds eliminated that off day and other worlds continued to have them. But practices still ended before the final CT game. In the worlds with an off day there were still 34 practices. In worlds without an off day there were only 33 days of practice.
It seems that off day has now been eliminated(?) in all worlds. I haven't seen it in maybe a year. To return to 34 practices, the last practice was extended one day to be run the same night as the CT final.
