2014 RANKINGS AND SEEDING

Team League Rankings for 2014 Group Play - (As of Aug 9th)
This chart shows the league standings used to rank teams before their group play to determine their seeding. Seedings will remain after Group Play to rank teams in the Dazzling Dozen^© round...vying to enter the Elite Eight double-elimination round...but all undefeated teams in the group play will be seeded above those that lost a game.

DOUBLE-ELIMINATION SEEDING

This list of teams below shows the league standings as of August 9th originally used to rank teams. However, they have also been further ranked AFTER their group play. The undefeated teams in group play are ranked above those that lost a game.

The top four ranked teams in the Dazzling Dozen^© are in the double-elimination round of the Elite Eight. The remaining eight teams must win a play-in game to enter the double-elimination Elite Eight roundfor the championship.

The top four seeds will be separated in each of the four sections of the "Elite Eight" and paired as closely as possible to traditional pairings - highest ranked vs lowest, number two vs second lowest, and teams ranked in the middle vs others with mid-ranged rankings.

Again this year, if it rains, the commissioner may deem that the remaining tournament games will be all single-elimination format or that only the final four teams play in double-elimination brackets because of persistent rain.

The final seedings are:
