♦️ Grand Final Seeding Rules (North & South) ♦️

1) Qualifiers

There are two ranking tables: North and South.

The Top 8 from each table qualify for Finals Day → 16 players total.

---

2) Duplicate Qualifiers (players appearing on both tables)

If a player finishes Top 8 on both tables, they qualify once only.

That player is allocated to the table where they achieved the higher finishing position.

If positions are the same (e.g., 3rd & 3rd), allocate to the table with the higher points total.

If points are also tied, allocate to the table with the higher running average.

If still tied, allocate to the table where the player has more events played; if still tied, Tournament Director random draw.

The vacated slot on the other table is filled by the next eligible player in order (e.g., 9th moves to 8th). Repeat as needed until each table has 8 unique qualifiers.

---

3) Seeding Principles (cross-table comparisons)

For each seed pair drawn from the same finishing position on each table (e.g., North #1 vs South #1):

Higher total points = the higher seed.

If tied on points, higher running average = the higher seed.

If still tied, more events played = the higher seed.

If still tied, Tournament Director random draw.

Notes
• “Points” and “Running Average” are as recorded on the official North/South tables at the close of qualification.
• Any internal tie-breakers used to form the table Top 8 remain as per table rules; this section only governs seeding between tables.

---

4) Seed Allocation (1–16)

Seeds 1–2 → Compare North #1 vs South #1

Higher points = Seed 1; other = Seed 2 (then running average, etc., if tied)

Seeds 3–4 → Compare North #2 vs South #2

Higher points = Seed 3; other = Seed 4

Seeds 5–6 → Compare North #3 vs South #3

Higher points = Seed 5; other = Seed 6

Seeds 7–8 → Compare North #4 vs South #4

Higher points = Seed 7; other = Seed 8

Seeds 9–10 → Compare North #5 vs South #5

Higher points = Seed 9; other = Seed 10

Seeds 11–12 → Compare North #6 vs South #6

Higher points = Seed 11; other = Seed 12

Seeds 13–14 → Compare North #7 vs South #7

Higher points = Seed 13; other = Seed 14

Seeds 15–16 → Compare North #8 vs South #8

Higher points = Seed 15; other = Seed 16

---

5) Bracket Placement (standard 16-player draw)

Round of 16 pairings:
1v16, 8v9, 5v12, 4v13, 3v14, 6v11, 7v10, 2v15
