Seeding and Selection- Basketball
The NMAA staff will seed & select teams for the 2024-2025 State Championships utilizing the following criteria in NMAA Bylaw 7.11 as voted on by the Board of Directors:• | Finish in regular season district play |
• | Head to Head |
• | Wins against district champions regardless of class |
• | Overall Record |
• | MaxPreps Rankings |
• | Member School Input (see following form) - To be submitted by head coach prior to 8:00 AM on the day of seeding. Note: Football “School Input Form" will be submitted prior to 4PM on the day of seeding. |
NOTE: In the event of a tie among criteria points, head to head will be used to break the tie. If there is no head to head competition, or the head to head competition is tied, then MaxPreps Strength of Schedule will be used to break the tie.
HOWEVER, here are some questions that have continue to be asked:
- Does a win over your own district champion count as a DC win?
- If two teams tie for second place, are both considered second place? Also, does that make the fourth-place finisher a No. 4 seed or a No. 3 seed in the criteria for regular-season district standings?
- If you defeat a district champion twice, does it count as two DC wins?
- District Champions win against out-of-state DCs?
What are some other questions that you have?
