That cannot be right. We beat Corpus twice. We split with New Orleans and beat Houston Baptist the only time we played them. Corpus and Houston Baptist split. Corpus only played New orleans once and lost to them. Houston Baptist did not beat New Orleans. We have to be the number two seed.
ABSOLUTELY STUPID TIE-BREAKING SYSTEM, BUT HERE'S HOW IT PLAYED OUT...
12-6, SFA, A&MCC, and HBU (with UNO at 13-5) Tournament Seeding Process Order: d) If three (3) or more teams tie for a position, and the tied teams all played two games against one another, the combined record of each of the tied teams against the other teams involved in the tie shall be compared until a seeding advantage is gained. Vs. other tied teams: SFA is 3-0, A&MCC 1-3, HBU 1-2. Tied teams did not play each other twice. Cannot break seeding tie.
e) If three (3) or more teams tie for a position, and if the teams combined to split their regular season games against one another, or if they played an uneven number of games against one another, then the tied teams' wonloss results against the next highestpositioned team(s) they all played twice shall be compared. This shall be continued through the final standings until one (1) team gains the advantage, thus the higher seed. SFA, A&MCC and HBU all played the following teams (in order of finish) twice: Vs. UIW: SFA: 1-1, A&MCC: 2-0; HBU 1-1; A&MCC wins seeding tiebreaker. A&MCC is No. 2 seed.
So, the bottom line is that our last-second loss to UIW is what eventually gives the #2 seed to AMCC, even though we did not lose to either AMCC or HBU. STUPID!
