Seeding Policy

1. Seed points shall be awarded to the top six placing teams in each age division as follows:

1^st Place - 10 Points

2^nd Place -  7 Points

3^rd Place -  5 Points

4^th Place -   4 Points

5th Place -  2 Points

6^th Place -   1 Point

2. When determining the seeds, the chairman shall use the previous years results for the age division being computed, and the results of the youngest age division.

Example:

14U/8^th Grade:                                                             15U/9^th Grade:

Asheville Tar heels        1^st        10 pts                           Carolina Stars               1^st        10 pts

Tar Heel Runners          2^nd          7 pts                           Carolina Dunkers          2^nd          7 pts

Carolina Stars               3^rd          5 pts                           Tar Heel Runners          3^rd          5 pts

Mountain Flyers            4^th          4 pts                           Piedmont Shooters       4^th          4 pts

Raleigh Lasers              5^th          2 pts                           Coastline Lions 5^th          2 pts

Winston Kings  6^th          1 pt                            Mountain Flyers            6^th          1 pt

Therefore, 15U Seeding for the current year would be:

1^st Seed                        Carolina Stars                           15 Points

2^nd Seed                       Tar Heel Runners                      12 Points

3^rd Seed                       Asheville Tar heels                    10 Points

4^th Seed                       Carolina Dunkers                        7 Points

5^th Seed                       Mountain Flyers                          5 Points

6^th Seed                       Piedmont Shooters                     4 Points

7^th Seed                       Raleigh Lasers                            2 Points

8^th Seed                       Coastline Lions               2 Points

9^th Seed                       Winston Kings                1 Point

If clubs have the same number of seed points, the club placing highest in the younger age division will be seeded higher. (See example above for 7^th and 8^th Seed)

3. The top seed becomes the #1 team in Pool A; the second seed is #1 in Pool B, etc.

4. If there are more seeded teams than pools, the extra teams will be placed in the lower seeded pools (in paragraph 2 example, in a pool  tournament, seed #9 would be with #7, and #8 with #6.

5. Unseeded teams will be placed by draw. Returning teams will be drawn first then new teams.

6. Clubs which enter more teams than one team in a tournament should designate the seed team.

7. The winner of the pool (whether seeded or not) will advance to the bracket set to receive the seed of that pool, (i.e.: the winner pool A will always advance to the top seed bracket, B winner to 2^nd seed bracket, etc.)

8. This system should:

            a. Provide for competitive balance

            b. Encourage clubs to compete in multiple age groups
