Centennial Championship Seeding Procedure
1. Head-to-Head Centennial Conference play among tied teams;
2. Individual matches won in dual-match play among tied teams;
3. Record vs. teams in descending order of standing;
4. Number of individual matches won against teams in descending order of standing;
5. Coin flip by Executive Director.

When any secondary criteria separates one or more tied teams, but does not completely break the tie among all teams involved, re-apply the criteria to all groups of teams still tied, starting with the Conference's primary tiebreaker for all sports (head-to-head Centennial competition). (Adopted 6/7/00, Revised 6/6/01; Revised 6/4/03; Revised 6/9/04).

Incomplete Tournament. If the championship tournament cannot be completed and each team has completed at least one tournament contest, the highest remaining seed will be the Conference's champion and automatic qualifier to the NCAA tournament. Otherwise, the top seed as determined by the regular season will receive the automatic qualifier.
