Per the direction of the Southwest District Athletic Board, all teams in a bracketed tournament will be seeded. The manager will distribute voting materials and procedures to each coach prior to the date of the Tournament Manager’s Meeting on Sunday, October 7, 2012, 2:00 p.m. This will enable each coach to vote and have his ballot back to the manager by Friday, October 5, 2012, noon. The tournament manager will distribute in either written form or spreadsheet the tally of all votes at the manager’s meeting on Sunday, October 7, 2012. All ties will be broken prior to the placement of teams on the brackets.

By board action, starting with the 2011-2012 tournaments, the coach can not vote for his school in the seeding process, and the highest and lowest votes for each school will be dropped before the final tabulation. Once that the seeds are determined, the seeds will go on the brackets in order of seed. The first seeded team will go followed by the second seeded team. Any team may choose to pass, and if it does so, the next seeded team will be given a choice to go on the bracket. After a seeded team goes on the bracket, the seeded team that passed will again be given an opportunity to go on the bracket. This process will continue until the brackets are filled.

Any team that does not show at the tournament placement meeting will go on the bracket last. Any school that does not get seed voting to the manager by Friday, October 5, 2012, noon, will not be permitted to vote at a later time. Any school that does not meet voting requirements but does attend the placement meeting will receive the votes that the school received for seeding purposes and will be seeded accordingly. If a coach is late for the seed meeting and has missed his opportunity to go on the bracket, his absence will be considered as a pass, and will be given an opportunity to go on once he is in attendance. If more than one coach does not show up, the tournament manager will flip a coin to determine the order of placement on the bracket.
