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

 

1st Place - 10 Points

2nd Place -  7 Points

3rd Place -  5 Points

4th Place -   4 Points

5th Place -  2 Points

6th 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.
 

 

                                                                                        

 

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

                                      

 

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 7th and 8th 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 2nd seed bracket, etc.)

 

8.  This system should:

            a. Provide for competitive balance

            b. Encourage clubs to compete in multiple age groups
