WITH AN UNEVEN ENTRY OF TEAMS ACROSS THE AGE DIVISIONS, WE HAD TO COMBINE SOME AGE DIVISIONS. TO DO THIS WE UTILIZED THE "TEAM SEEDING FORMS" WITH OUR TOURNAMENT RECORDS OF THE PAST SIXTEEN YEARS. WE THEN COMBINED THIS WITH ALL INFORMATION WE HAD ACCUMULATED FOR YOUR TEAM IN OUR TOURNAMENT AND OTHERS. THIS ALLOWS US TO PUT SOME LOGIC INTO OUR DECISION TO PLACE YOUR TEAM IN OUR TOURNAMENT RANKING COMPETITIVELY. GENERALLY, IF YOU WIN OR ARE A RUNNER-UP IN YOUR DIVISION, YOU ARE RANKED HIGHER THE NEXT YEAR. IF YOU DO NOT PLACE, YOU ARE RANKED LOWER. ALSO, RANKING DEPENDS ON THE CALIBER OF TEAMS ENTERED INTO THE CURRENT TOURNAMENT AND YOUR PERFORMANCE OVER THE PAST YEARS. KEEP IN MIND, IF YOUR TEAM IS WINNING BY LARGE SCORES, YOU MAY BE MOVED UP NEXT YEAR. WE MAKE EVERY EFFORT TO GIVE YOU NEW COMPETITION EACH YEAR AND NOT PLACE YOU WITH TEAMS YOU PLAY "BACK HOME" OR IN OTHER TOURNAMENTS. THE "PAST GAME SCORE SHEET" FORM IS USED IN THIS REGARD. WE DO TRY TO MIX AMERICAN TEAMS WITH CANADIAN TEAMS AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. A GOOD COMPETITIVE MATCH IS A TOP PRIORITY! TIMELY AND ACCURATE RESPONSE WITH THE "SEEDING" AND "PAST GAMES SCORE SHEET" FORMS ARE VERY IMPORTANT IN THIS ACTIVITY. WE WILL RESPOND TO ALL QUESTIONS AND CONCERNS SUBMITTED TO US. WE DO WANT TO EXCEED YOUR EXPECTATIONS!!
