    Tournament Seeding Question

    Could anyone shed some light on how to seed the championship round of a 6 team tournament. Seeding is based on records from a fall league, points for and against, and head to head games. Then there are competioin points that I do not fully understand because of ties. Many games during the league play were canceled due to the weather. This is why some teams have more games than others.
    Team A: 4 wins 1 loss 34 runs for 30 runs against
    Team B 4 wins 2 loses 2 ties 49 " 37 "
    Team C 4 wins 2 loses 2 ties 49 " 37 "
    Team D 3wins 4 loses 1 tie 38 " 40 "
    Team E 2 wins 4 loses 35 " 38 "
    Team F 1 win 5 loses 30 " 53 "
    Team A has beat team B twice
    Team A has beat team C once.
    Team A's only loss was to team D

    cshlit,
    thanks for the information. The only thing is, we are team A and somehow, we are seeded 3rd. We have the best won loss record and have wins over teams B and C. As a matter of fact we beat team B twice. I can't figure that one out. When our team official complained, the Tournamnet director said if we are the best team, show it. Ties somehow count for competition points. I'm still confused. Thanks again for the info.

    It really doesn't change much unless you wanted a bye in the first round. I wouldn't spend too much energy worrying about that when getting to the final is still in your team's control.
