Sub-State Seeding Criteria by KSHSAA

1. Seeding shall be based strictly on percentage of wins and losses. To determine this percentage, divide the number of games won by the number of games played. (Only varsity competitions will count.) The team with the higher percentage will receive the higher seed. Byes in regular season games/tournaments (including league tournament) ARE NOT to be counted.

2. If two teams have an identical percentage, the tie will be broken as follows:

a. If the teams played each other, the one defeating the other a larger number of times will receive the seed.

b. If they have played each other and each has defeated the other team under consideration an identical number of times, go to step (c).

c. If two teams have the same percentage of wins and 1 or 2 will not resolve the tie, the team with the most wins will receive the better seed.

d. If the tie in (c) still remains, then a draw by lot will determine the team receiving the higher seed. (Use a person from your community as a witness.)

3. If three teams have an identical percentage, the tie will be broken as follows:
a. If one team has defeated the other two a larger number of times, it will receive the better seed.

b. If not, the manager will draw by lot for top seed, then the tie between the remaining two teams shall be broken by using procedures in (2). The procedure for draw by lot is to put the names of the teams tied into a hat and draw. The first one drawn will receive the highest seed.

4. In sub-state tournaments, teams receiving a bye will consider the bye as a win as it relates to their win-loss record for seeding purposes in subsequent tournaments.
