Summary of the Basketball Advisory Committee Meeting
Held April 17, 2015 at the MSHSAA Office, Columbia, MO
*** 1. Recommend to revise the seed meeting procedure in the Basketball Manual (Section 3: District Entry Procedure, E. Seed Meeting, item 1.) as follows:
“The mandatory seeding procedure is to seed each spot individually starting with the #1 seed, followed by the #2 seed, continuing to the last seed. The district schools participating in the meeting shall take into account each team’s win-loss record (varsity games only), head to head competition, caliber of competition, and common opponents they have played over the season. If a tie should occur, the district schools participating in the meeting shall look at the tied teams only and their head to head competition to break the tie. Should a tie still exist, a coin flip shall determine the seeds of the tied teams. The district schools participating in the meeting whose team is involved in the tie shall abstain. This specific procedure shall be followed by district manager.”
Amended: “The mandatory seeding procedure is to seed each spot individually starting with the #1 seed, followed by the #2 seed, continuing to the last seed. The district schools participating in the meeting shall take into account each team’s win-loss record (varsity vs. varsity games only), head to head competition, caliber of competition, and common opponents they have played over the season. If a tie should occur, a second vote would be used to determine the seed but only the district schools who are not involved with the tie would participate in the second vote. If a tie remains, it shall be broken based on head to head competition of the tied teams. Should a tie still exist, a coin flip shall determine the seeds of the tied teams. This specific procedure shall be followed by district manager.”
