CRITERIA TO DETERMINE SEEDING

Louisiana USSSA Fastpitch uses the USSSA National criteria to determine seeding:

Pool Standings Sorted on the following:

• Winning Percentage – Descending
• Number Wins – Descending
• Number Loses – Ascending
• Tied Teams (vs. each other) Winning Pct – Descending [Not valid if all tied teams have not played each other]
• Avg Points Allowed – Ascending
• Avg Run Differential with a maximum of (8) – Descending
• USSSA Points – Descending
• Date Team Entered USSSA Database

Once past a tie breaker do not return to previous

NOTE: 2 Ties do NOT equal 1 Win, but figure into Winning percentage

Any time a team plays an “extra” seeding game to even out the schedule, their last game played will be considered their “extra” game and will not count towards seeding.  That game will count for the opposing team only.

SEEDING UTILIZED IN BRACKET:

HOME in bracket play is determined by higher seed.

If both teams are equal seeds, a coin flip will occur

In double elim Championship games only, undefeated team is home team.  “If” game will be flip.
