Section Five Chairman Al DeCarlo has announced that for 2017, the Girls of Section Five will adopt the seeding system that has been used by the boys for the past 15 years.  Due to changes occurring at LaxPower.com (the former seeding system), Chairman DeCarlo and the rest of the committee determined that it was necessary to identify a new way to seed the Sectional Tournament.

For additional information on how the tournament will be seeded you can read the New Sectional Seeding for 2017 article.

In Section Locked Teams: 33/33
Out of Section Locked Teams: 26/26
Total: 59/59

LOCKED Example: Newark is the first team to become "LOCKED" in their seeding points.  The Reds have played 14 of their 16 games.  They currently have 4 wins and 10 losses with 2 remaining games.  

If Newark wins both contests they will finish 6-10 and be over 25% and under 50% (6 points for a win, 3 points for a loss).  On the other hand, if they lose both games they will finish 4-12 and be over 25% and under 50% (6 points for a win, 3 points for a loss).  So regardless of outcomes, the final two games will not change the points that they will give their opponents.  Therefore, they are considered LOCKED.  

This does not lock Newark's seed in the tournament just the amount of points that they will give their opponents.  Newark is still able to move up or down in seeding because none of their opponents are locked.

Additionally, there will be seeding articles published every Sunday.  The first of which are available here:
