National Playoffs Question

**ISFN** · 03-29-2008, 02:36 PM

After round robin play (D1 and D2) you split the teams into 2 brackets with 2 #1 seeds and so on.

How are these seeding based because, there could be 5 teams with the same overall record...

Is it Goals Against first?

There's a seeing meeting that is committee-selected following round-robin play.

So during this meeting what does the committee take into account?

Regular Season standing?
Regionals standing?

or

Just games played at Nationals during the RR?

Pretty much everything - the RR acts as a set of interregional games independent of the elimination bracket. Regular season comes into account as well.

Question - Who plays the #1 Seed, the winner of: #7 Seed vs #10 Seed, or #8 Seed vs #9 Seed?

Steve Inge - ROXBURY 8

Winner of 8v9.

Standard tournament bracket, really.

That's what I figured, but I didn't want to assume anything.

I've gotten so used to NARCh reseeding after every playoff round, and since this is my first year observing NCRHA, I just wanted to make sure.

THANKS
