SPECIAL REMINDERS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

  1. Neutral sites utilize the "away" column for points. Please note that a neutral site is defined as a location where both schools share responsibility as hosts and agree it is a neutral site or where both teams play away at a tournament.

  2. Percentage/rating should be based on all regular-season games played through Wednesday prior to affiliated conference/independent tournaments. Rating prior to affiliated conference/independent will be used for regional and national. Only regular season games should be used when calculating Longo Rating.

  3. In selecting teams for affiliated conference/independent or seeding for affiliated conference/independent, regional or national tournaments, teams within 25 rating points of each other shall switch places if they met during the regular season and the lower-rated team won the game. Teams move only one place at a time, and movement is applied from bottom to top. This will be reapplied as many times as necessary until no further changes in position take place.

  4. A forfeit win MUST NOT weaken a rating, nor a forfeit loss strengthen a rating.

  5. Ties count half-win, half-loss when figuring winning percentages.

  6. If a team is a dual member (NAIA or NCAA), the appropriate dual affiliation column MUST be used (i.e. NCCAA and NAIA member, use NAIA).

  7. For all games against CIAU teams, use the "NCAA III Top 25 and NCAA II" column.
