I'm curious about the seeding method. While #1
is pretty obvious, it's hard to believe that a
reasonable seeding method would make #7 that low.
#25 is a pretty good team, obviously better than
at least 10 teams seeded ahead of them. Is there
some sort of seeding point penalties involved for
late entries or slow play?

I looked up the roster on the ACBL Home Page. It says that positions 1-7
are seeded in that order and that the rest of the teams are not seeded.

One thing to noticd in Chyah's original posting was
the statement that teams 8-27 are not seeded. They
are not listed in any significent order.

The top seven teams were seeded by "placing points".
There was a tie for the number four seed which will
be broken by lot on site.

The round robin was seeded by "ACBL seeding points".
The round robin of the lower twenty teams was divided
into two groups of ten (by seeding points). Each
team in the two groups will play a 12-board match
against each of the other 9 teams in the group.
Four teams from each group will emerge into the
Knockout phase, and will play seeded teams 2 - 7
in a 90-board match. The seven surviving teams
will then join with the Nickell team for the
quarterfinal matches.

The round robin is held Saturday and Sunday,
June 22 and 23. Matches are held at 10am and
4:30 pm, 27 boards per session.

In the Women's team trials, there will be a
six team round robin beginning on Wednesday,
June 26. The top 3 teams will join Kathie
Wei-Sender's team for the semi-finals.

In regard to seeding:

A. Teams 1-7 are in order of Trials points earned over the
past year's cycle which ended with the Atlanta Reisinger;

see Jan. 1996 ACBL Bulletin pg 134

N.B. Two of the top point earners, #2-Root and #4-Shugart
did not apply for byes in accordance with ITT regs
so
their places were taken by former 8 and 9.


B. The balance of the teams were listed in order of submission of
entry and will be reseeded before Saturday's Round Robin
play begins according to ACBL seeding point formula used
for Vanderbilt, Spingold, etc. This will be done in San
Francisco
by the ACBL Chief TD on site.
