Heat Index combines temperature and humidity to get an equivalent temperature (see Heat Index Table). The humidity in Las Vegas yesterday was so low, 5-9%, that the actual temperatures (92-115 were higher than they felt (88-106 - see LV Yesterday Hourly).
The Heat Index table is color-coded for the effects:
- Yellow: 80–90 °F | Caution — fatigue is possible with prolonged exposure and activity. Continuing activity could result in heat cramps.
- Light Orange: 90–105 °F | Extreme caution — heat cramps and heat exhaustion are possible. Continuing activity could result in heat stroke.
- Orange: 105–130 °F | Danger — heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely; heat stroke is probable with continued activity.
- Red: over 130 °F | Extreme danger — heat stroke is imminent.
Where do you think the line should be drawn?
IMO, Light Orange (Extreme caution) is manageable if the games are spread out to give teams a chance to recover in between. Portions of some brackets were okay and other portions were not. It depended on the number of teams and berths.

I would agree depending on the humidity. ...

Those are Heat Index values which incorporate the humidity.

Nope, I am not Mormon therefore I don't get my own planet. Now go stand in the sun until I tell you to come in.

Nor do you get to be a God. Heck, I can't even manage my own little life, why the heck would anyone even want the responsibility of thier own planet as a God.
