2. The following criteria are used by the SWC to determine selection and seeding:
a. Head-to-head competition,
b. regular season competition results against common opponents,
c. strength of schedule,
d. additional information provided on the application. Coaches are encouraged to provide any information they feel will assist the SWC in selecting and seeding their team accurately.
C. Seeding: Teams in each division will be seeded #1 through #8 in a traditional 8 team bracket. In the event that eight teams do not apply, seed #1 would get a bye followed by seed #2 that would get the second bye. There would be no change to the brackets once the tournament starts.
