CCAA B-Ball tie-breaking procedures, are they documented?

[JohnnyHands]

Has anyone seen any documentation or post anywhere that explains the CCAA Basketball tie-breaking procedures? I requested one from the goccaa dot org but haven't yet heard back from them. The information also seems to be un-Google-able.

Is this information secret? :-)

Thanks, John

I'm giving up hope after seeing this article: http://www.insidesocal.com/sb/gardne..._the_ball.html

Here they are! I just needed to e-mail the right person. Straight from Mr. Harris, Assistant Commissioner for Championships and Business Development:

CCAA Basketball Tie Breaker
(Procedure For Determining Tournament Representatives)
This procedure is referenced in basketball sport code 5.3.3.4 in the 2011-2012 CCAA Manual.

1. (If only two teams are tied) Head-to-head record in conference games only.
In the event of a tie (or ties) in the regular season winning percentages among eligible teams for the CCAA Championship
Tournament, the tournament participants and/or seeding will be determined in the following order of tiebreakers:
(If more than two teams are tied) Cumulative head–to–head season record in conference games only among all tied teams.
a. If a clear winner exists after this tiebreaker, they will be awarded the highest seed available.
b. If a clear “loser” exists after this tiebreaker, they will be given the lowest seed available among the tied teams.
i. If only two teams remain following 2a and 2b, then return to #1.
ii. If there are still more than two teams tied, repeat this process again until only 2 teams remain tied or the tie cannot
be broken by this criteria. In this case, move on to #2 and on down as necessary.

2. Record vs. teams already seeded in the tournament starting with the #1 seed and moving down in descending order. The first team with a better record against a team already seeded will be awarded the highest seed available. This will continue until all teams are placed.
a. NOTE: When arriving at another pair of tied teams while comparing records, use each team’s record against the collective
tied teams as a group (prior to their own tie-breaking procedures), rather than the performance against the individual tied teams.

3. Record vs. teams not participating in the tournament starting with the #9 seed and moving down in descending order. The first team with a better record against a non-participating team will be awarded the highest seed available. This will continue until all teams
are placed.
a. NOTE: When arriving at another pair of tied teams while comparing records, use each team’s record against the collective
tied teams as a group (prior to their own tie-breaking procedures), rather than the performance against the individual tied teams.
4. Coin Flip

The official announcement of the CCAA Tournament field will be announced at 10 a.m. on Saturday, February 25.
