Round 1 Seeding

For round 1 seeding, calculate this formula for each tournament and add together the top three performances. Partners debating separately can count their top three performances individually.

Preliminary round win percentage x number of entries in the division x diversity of tournament multiplier

Diversity of tournament multiplier:

1-2 schools: 1.0

3-5 schools: 1.2

6-8 schools: 1.4

9-12 schools: 1.6

Tiebreakers: head-to-head wins, average speaker points, average ranks
