D. Central Interior Conference Basketball Seeding Criteria

1. Seeding is based on the winning percentage of the required games between Central Interior Conference schools. A Conference team is defined as any team that has been assigned to a Conference prior to the previous year's State Tournament. This means that a school that does not field a team any particular year is still a Conference team and may schedule at the customary time and be included in the required home and home rotation with other Conference schools. A school that is new to the Central Interior Conference, but has been assigned to that Conference prior to the previous year's State Tournament, shall be included in the required home and home rotation. A team that is assigned to the Conference after the previous year's State Tournament may be unseeded in the Central Interior Conference Tournament as it may not have scheduled enough games to fulfill the game requirements. Scheduling is usually done at the Central Interior Conference Tournament and at the Spring Meeting of Region II. Conference teams may fill their schedules and are not required to break contracts to accommodate schools that had not committed for the following season early enough to be assigned to, and schedule with, the existing Central Interior Conference teams.

                        2. Minimum Games Required for Seeding

a. One less game than the number of teams in the tournament the prior year is required for seeding.

b. No more than two games against any tournament opponent will count for seeding purposes (If a home series does not occur, the first 2 games played will replace missed home contests) See-d.

c. If a conference team folds, all remaining contracted games will be a forfeit.

d. If a home series does not occur, the next game played will count as a game for a home series (i.e. Tournaments other than Regional or conference).

3. Tie Breakers

a. Head to head competition.  This applies to games above and beyond the two games used for seeding.

                             b. Common opponent in Conference

                             c. Common opponent in Region (outside Conference)

                             d. Common opponent outside Region

                             e. Point spread-Maximum 15 points allowed per game

1. Head to head-two games used for seeding

2. Against all common opponents at the Conference Tournament

4. If there is still a tie, the Region II seeding committee will make the final decision (Refer to executive board page).

E. From Winter 2003 Meeting: Galena City School Conference agrees that, upon our turn in the rotation for hosting the Central Interior basketball tournament, we will pay for the travel of 19 people, boys and girls team -total, from Fairbanks to Galena, roundtrip. This does not effect the rule regarding the number of people allowed on a roster, only the number that Galena will pay to transport. Galena asks that in return, during the school year they host, they do not pay for any travel for any incoming teams during the regular season. They request that when scheduling, they be given the consideration to play two or three teams to maximize the cost of a charter. For the Galena Valentines Tournament, they would like two teams minimum to come and they will guarantee at least one Region II game. They would request food and lodging to be provided for their teams when they travel to the highway system schools. They would like a home and home agreement with teams on a two-year rotation as often as possible.

F. Tournament Bracketing

1.  All Central Interior Conference basketball tournaments will be decided by double elimination tournaments.

                     2. If the number of teams participating in the tournament exceeds

         eight, a Tuesday tournament game will occur. The team that loses the

Tuesday game(s) will be incorporated in the consolation bracket.

 

V. Tournament Contests

A. Free Throw Contest

B. Three-Point Contest

C. Academic Awards

         1. Determined by previous semester grade point average.

                     2. Ten awards will be given (unless students are tied).
