State Cup Seeding 2016-17 (Updated March, 2017)
PURPOSE : Tennessee State Soccer Association (TSSA) D1, D2, and D3 State Leagues advance teams to their respective State Cup. The following seeding schedule will be used to place the teams for all such ages in the State Cup.
SEEDING : DIVISION 1- All teams that have qualified for the Southern Regional Premier League (SRPL) and the Midwest Regional Premier League (MRL) will not be required to participate in the Tennessee State League (TSL) and will advance to the 1st round of the State Cup. Seeding for these teams will be based on the current standings in order of Premier SRPL, 1st Division SRPL, and finally MRL. The remaining available State Cup slots will be filled by highest finishing TSL teams. We will also follow TSL rules and only have 1 division of play for Division 1 TSL and will not divide into East and West. The top eight (8) teams from the SRPL, MRL, and TSL as identified from the above will advance to the 1st round of the State Cup.
The following seeding procedures will apply to specific ages:
