Knock-out Round Seeding

1. Seeding will be awarded to teams/players that advanced to the knockout stages

2. Factors that contribute to seeding will be as follows, in order of weighting

(i) Position in the group.

(ii) Number of games won.

(iii) Point difference.

(iv) Total points scored.

(v) DUPR rating.

3. Once we have established the seeds for the knockout stages, teams will be spread out to ensure no one side of the draw is “stacked” with seeds.

4. For example; Top half of the draw will contain seeds 1, 3, 5, 7 while bottom half of the draw contain seeds 2,4,6,8.

5. Further we will arrange the seeds so that the two top seeds in each draw would only meet each other at semi-final stage

*Points to note

If two teams get drawn together in the knockout round that were in the same pool in the round robin, we will manually adjust the draw, moving the two most adjacent seeded teams between draw places to ensure two teams from the same pool do not meet again in knockout stages

 

EXAMPLE

Based on the criteria on for seeding based on performance, here is an example of how we will seed players/teams based on performance.

Below is the example for the positioning of the seeds across the draw
