2019 RANKINGS AND SEEDING
Team League Rankings for 2019 Group Play - (As of Aug 10th)
This chart shows the final season league standings used to initially rank teams before
their group play to determine their seedings.
These are the rankings used to rank teams for either format played each year: the Dazzling Dozen© round...8 teams play-in or the Final Ten Team Trip© round...4 teams play-in to enter the Elite Eight double-elimination round.
DOUBLE-ELIMINATION SEEDING- ( Aug 30th)
Again this year, if it rains or the fields are excessively wet, the commissioner may deem at any point in time that all of the remaining tournament games (or at a point of excessive rain the remaining games yet to be played) will be played in single-elimination format or that only the final four teams play in double-elimination brackets because of persistent rain and an impending field permit expiration.
An alternative schedule will be deployed ONLY AFTER each team plays at least 2 games.
The final round seedings:
