Southeast District Athletic Board Seed Policy and Procedure:
Per the direction of the Southeast District Athletic Board, all teams in a bracketed tournament will be seeded using a NCAA bracket.  The board will distribute online voting materials/instructions prior to the online voting period.  There will be no draw meeting held.  Each coach will need to submit their team’s bio information by 11:59 PM on Wednesday, October 4.  Furthermore, each coach will need to vote and have his/her ballot submitted by Friday, October 6, at 11:59 PM.  Ties will be broken by highest frequency (total votes at that seed line or higher).  If a tie is not breakable, a coin-flip will be conducted by the SEDAB.  Seeded teams will be placed on the NCAA bracket according to their seed. 

 

Divisions are organized into a super sectional with all teams in a division being seeded.  Teams will be placed on an NCAA paired bracket according to their voted seed. . 

 

The final tally and voting breakdown will be available on baumspage and the brackets will be posted at https://www.ohsaa.org/SEDAB at 3:30 PM on Sunday, October 8.

 

Any school that does not submit their team bio or cast their vote by the respective deadlines will not be permitted to submit their team bio or vote at a later time.
