Seeding Scenarios Released For Women’s Basketball Tournament
The South Atlantic Conference has released the seeding scenarios for the 2011 Food Lion South Atlantic Conference Women's Basketball Tournament, heading into the final regular-season contests on Saturday.
The official tournament seedings and brackets will be released by the conference office on Saturday night following the completion of all contests.
TIEBREAKER PROCESS
The seeding for the tournament shall be based on the results of
the regular season conference matches (winning percentage). If a
tie(s) exists in the final regular season standings the following
criteria will be used to determine the tournament seeds:
1. Head-to-head record among tied teams.
2. If a tie still exists, a comparison of each team's record
against all remaining seeds in the tournament. The comparison of
records will begin with the highest seed possible and continue all
the way through the lowest seed, if necessary. If two or more teams
are tied at another seed (e.g. first or second), then the composite
record against those teams will be used to break the tie.
3. If a tie still exists, the Commissioner conducts a coin
flip.
In the event of multiple ties (more than two teams tying at a
position), a comparison of the tied teams' head-to-head records
shall be evaluated to determine if a team(s) has an advantage in
wins. If that process does not resolve the tie or reduce the
multiple tie to less teams [when one team is removed from a
multiple tie, the remaining ties are broken by reverting back to
the first step until the tie is reduced to two teams. At that
point, the seeding for the remaining teams is resolved by following
the tie-breaking procedures described above], then a comparison
each team's record against the tournament's number one seed (or
highest possible seed) shall be evaluated. If the tie still cannot
be broken, then a comparison of each team's record against the next
highest seed shall be evaluated. This process will continue all the
way through the lowest seed, if necessary. If the tie still cannot
be broken, it shall be broken by a coin flip conducted by the
Commissioner.
