U SPORTS Final 8 Selection Criteria for the At-large Berth
The Women's Basketball Playing Regulations document was found at
Playing Regulations 2021-22 Season
on the U SPORTS website.
The applicable section (retrieved on 13-Mar-2022) says:
4.2.3 SELECTION CRITERIA FOR THE AT-LARGE BERTH
The Selection/Seeding Committee will use the following criteria to determine the at-large berth for the W-Final 8.
The criteria will also be used for seeding the teams for the W-Final 8 while respecting the guidelines listed below.
All teams will be considered for the at-large berth and ranked in each category.
If any team is the only team to lead two, three or four of these categories following the conclusion
of conference playoffs, it will be awarded the at-large berth. If no team leads more categories
than all other teams, the berth will be awarded to the tied team who has the highest winning
percentage vs. the Top 12 teams in the final RPI.
- Win-Loss record:
Winning percentage in all games against U SPORTS opponents, including playoffs and non-conference games.
- RPI:
RPI rank based on non-conference and regular-season games (i.e., all games except playoffs.)
- Playoff advancement:
The number of wins the team fell short of qualifying for the Final 8 automatically.
For example, the AUS runner-up would be one win short, both semi-finalists would be two wins short, and so on.
A lower number of "wins away from Final 8" is better here, of course.
If two teams from the same conference play a 3rd place game, the winner of that game would win this category.
- SRS (Simple Ranking System)
NOTE: If still tied: Use the winning percentage versus Top 12 teams in final RPI.
