that RPI also be among the primary criteria. The committee asked the statistics department to adapt the multiplier for its intended impact for the 2017-18 academic year. The committee also asked for research on the sectional teams from the past 10 years that would include SOS numbers and win/loss percentages.

5. Regional advisory committees. The committee agreed that the national RAC training call will continue to be held at the beginning of the men’s basketball season. In addition, committee members and NCAA staff are working with conference commissioners to fill RAC vacancies for each region. The committee will also stress with each RAC member that they are expected to be available as a site representative during preliminary rounds. As a training opportunity, current committee members will make their initial RAC call available to new members.

6. 2017 championship review.

a. Salem. The committee discussed improvements in Salem, including the need for increased attendance, enhanced seating direction on Saturday, a higher level of hospitality available on Saturday, videoboard headshot templates for all student-athletes and better room assignment/ meal planning at the team hotel. The committee applauded the change of venue for the student-athlete celebration, the addition of the LED scorer’s table and the larger training room at the facility.

b. Game times; CBS Sports Network. The committee determined that the current time slots for preliminary rounds should remain the same for 2018. The committee also wants to keep the current game times for the semifinals (5 and 7:30 p.m.) and final (6 p.m.). Members support future CBS Sports Network broadcasts, encourage additional promotion of delayed broadcasts and continue to discuss streaming the video live.

c. Survey results. The committee reviewed survey results, noting an average response rate. Those hosts with negative feedback will be logged for future hosting opportunities, noting the feedback in order to avoid the same issues at future sites.

7. Officiating. The committee discussed officials’ selection and advancement. Again this year, nine officials will travel to Salem, and one official within driving distance of Salem will be selected as the alternate. The committee will work to assign regions to certain hosts to increase equity across regions and give the committee more control of assignments. Site representatives will be encouraged to clearly explain media timeouts, instant replay usage and table crew experience/neutrality in meetings. The committee also was informed that a Division III national coordinator of officials was approved beginning in the 2017-18 academic year.

8. Ft. Wayne discussion. Representatives from Ft. Wayne presented initial thoughts and planning for 2019-22. The committee had a healthy planning discussion and looks forward to working with them in the future.

The only exceptions will be the sectional championship and national championship games as in 2016-17.

g. DVSport usage. The committee would like to begin discussions with DVSport for replay services at the finals site and sectional sites initially. The DVSport contract currently expires in 2019.

9. NABC report and all-star games. Pat Cunningham, head men’s basketball coach at Trinity University (Texas) and a member of the NABC, joined the committee to discuss NABC meetings, recap the 2017 All-Star Game, and provide details for the 2018 All-Star Game.

Section 2•4 Selection Criteria

Countable Games. Only games listed on the institution’s originally submitted schedule will be considered for tournament-selection purposes. The addition of games not listed on the institution’s published schedule as an aid for selection shall not be considered.

In-Region Competition. (See In-Region Competition on page 16 for definitions of in-region competition.)

Selection Requirements. To be considered during the at-large selection process (Pools B or C), an institution must play at least 70 percent of its competition against Division III in-region opponents, unless a waiver has been approved by the Division III Championships Committee.

Bylaw 31.3.3.1 – Countable Competition. For NCAA team-championship selection purposes, competition is countable only when the teams played are varsity intercollegiate teams of four-year, degree-granting institutions that conduct a majority of their competition in that team sport against varsity intercollegiate teams (see Constitution 3.2.4.4) of United States four-year, degree-granting institutions. Competition against service teams, professional teams, semiprofessional teams, amateur teams, two-year colleges and club teams shall be excluded. In addition, only games listed on the institution’s originally submitted schedule will be considered for tournament selection purposes. The addition of games not listed on the institution’s published schedule as an aid for selection shall not be considered.

PRIMARY SELECTION CRITERIA The primary criteria emphasize competition leading up to NCAA championships; all criteria listed will be evaluated (not listed in priority order).

 Win-loss percentage against Division III opponents.  Division III strength of schedule. o Opponents’ Average Winning Percentage (OWP). o Opponents’ Opponents’ Average Winning Percentage (OOWP). [See below for explanation of OWP and OOWP calculations.]

 Division III head-to-head competition.  Results versus common Division III opponents.  Results versus ranked Division III teams as established by the final ranking and the ranking preceding the final ranking. Post-season contests are included.  Nullification (Bylaw 31.02.4). Note: Contests versus provisional and reclassifying members in their third and fourth years shall count in the primary criteria. Provisional and reclassifying members shall remain ineligible for rankings and selections.

STRENGTH OF SCHEDULE CALCULATION The strength of schedule is made up of two factors: the opponents’ winning percentage (OWP) and the opponents’ opponents’ winning percentage (OOWP).

Opponents’ Winning Percentage. Take each opponent’s won-lost record against other Division III teams (excluding the results against the team in question); add all wins and all losses to get the cumulative won-lost record that is used to determine the opponents’ winning percentage.

To Calculate. Team A’s schedule is as follows:

Opponent Record vs. Team A Wins Losses Team B 21-7 1-0 20 7 Team C 14-11 0-1 14 10 Team D 9-14 0-1 9 13 Team E 8-17 0-1 8 16 Team F 19-8 1-0 18 8 Totals: 69 54 69 / (69 + 54) = .561 (OWP)

Opponents’ Opponents’ Winning Percentage (OOWP). The strength of each opponent’s schedule is measured by taking all of their opponents’ won-lost records and finding the winning percentage based on the total opponents’ opponents’ won-lost record. This recognizes the fact that two opponents with similar won-lost records may have played far different schedules (in terms of strength of opponents).

To Calculate. Using the total opponents’ won-lost record for Teams B, C, D, E and F (Team A’s opponents), perform the same calculation as the OWP.

Opponents’ Wins Opponents’ Losses Team B 35 75 Team C 63 40 Team D 55 55 Team E 75 37 Team F 44 60 Totals 272 267 272 / (272 + 267) = .505 (OOWP)

It is important to note that the OOWP will support the OWP (i.e., if Teams A and C have the same OWP of .561; Team A has an OOWP of .505 and Team C has an OOWP of .456; it would indicate Team A has the stronger strength of schedule).

Home/Away Multiplier. A multiplier of 1.25 shall be added to the OWP and OOWP for those games played away from home. A multiplier of 1.0 (no positive or negative effect) will be included in the OWP and OOWP for all neutral games. A multiplier of 0.75 shall be included in the OWP and OOWP for all home games.

SUPP NO. 6 Page No. 3

Strength of Schedule Calculation. To calculate the strength of schedule, add two-thirds of the OWP to one-third of the OOWP. Team A’s strength of schedule calculation is as follows: Value Weight SOS Value OWP .561 .667 .374 OOWP .505 .333 .168 Strength of Schedule .542

SECONDARY SELECTION CRITERIA If the evaluation of the primary criteria does not result in a decision, the secondary criteria will be reviewed. All the criteria listed will be evaluated (not listed in priority order). The secondary criteria introduce results against all other opponents from other classifications (i.e., provisionals, NAIA, NCAA Divisions I and II).

 Non-Division III win-loss percentage.  Results versus common non-Division III opponents.  Division III non-conference strength-of-schedule.

Additionally, input is provided by regional advisory committees for consideration by the Men’s Basketball Committee. SUPP. NO. 7 Page No. 1

PAIRINGS AND SITE SELECTION Once automatic qualifiers are identified and the Pools B and C teams are selected, the following guidelines should be followed:

 Teams will be grouped in clusters according to natural geographic proximity. Teams will then be paired according to geographic proximity. A team may be moved to numerically balance the bracket if geographic proximity is maintained. Teams should be paired and eligible sites should be selected according to geographic proximity (within 500 miles).  Teams may be seeded on a regional basis using the regional selection criteria. However, geographic proximity takes precedence over seeding.  Teams from the same conference do not have to play one another in the first round as long as geographic proximity is maintained. The highest-seeded team that meets all selection criteria (and after a review of the submitted host materials) will be selected as the host institution, provided geographic proximity is maintained. It is the intent of the committee to create competition brackets with a maximum of eight teams competing in each bracket. Flights will be kept to a minimum. The host institution will play the second game when applicable. The higher-ranked team will be listed at the top of the competition bracket. The top team on the bracket is the designated home team and will wear the light- (white-)colored jersey in contrast with the visiting team’s dark uniform. SITE SELECTION Any institution interested in hosting preliminary-round competition of the championship must submit a proposed budget, respond to sport-specific questions (if applicable) and ensure that the institution’s key contacts and facility information are complete and current in the Championships Bid and Profile System. Please note that in order to submit a bit, you must first locate the desired championship in the “Championships Available for Bidding” section and select “Start Bid.” Please note the change in process that allows all member institutions to regularly and easily access their profiles by visiting championships.ncaa.org. For profile issues, user access or to reset a password, please email [email protected] or contact the respective championship manager. The Championships Committee has prioritized the following site-selection criteria for all championships:

 Complete bid;  Quality and availability of the facility and other necessary accommodations;  Geographical location (which may include such factors as rotation of sites, weather, accessibility and transportation costs);  Seeding; and  Attendance history, hosting history and revenue potential, which shall be considered necessary to assure fiscal responsibility. In addition, the Men’s Basketball Committee requires each host to record all contests at its site, with the intent to make available to each team a copy (DVD format) of the contest in which it participated. The committee also prefers sites that will not host conflicting events during the championship practice and competition. Sites will also be evaluated as to the availability of appropriate practice times for all SUPP. NO. 7 Page No. 2 competing teams. To host first-round, second-round or sectional contests, a regulation court as defined in the 2017-18 and 2018-19 NCAA Men’s Basketball Rules and Interpretations must be used. To host sectional competition, arena seating for at least 1,000 spectators is required. Please also review the host operations manual for a detailed list of facility requirements. An evaluation will be made of institutional facilities to determine if they are acceptable for championship play. Selection of host sites will be based partly upon the quality of the playing facility. A facility evaluation form must be completed online with a deadline of Feb. 16. Instructions on accessing and completing the online facility evaluation will be sent to the directors of athletics of all eligible Division III institutions sponsoring men’s basketball. The facility evaluation is one of the tools used in determining site selection. Any institution or conference interested in hosting a preliminary round of the 2018 NCAA Division III Men’s Basketball Championship must submit a proposed budget, facility evaluation form, key contacts form and video board questionnaire (if applicable) to be considered to host. A separate proposed budget and key contacts form must be submitted for each round that an institution or conference is interested in hosting. SUPP.
