The criteria used to determine the seeding was as follows:
1. Win percentage from weeks 2-5
2. Head to head record from regular weekly matchups
3. Avg Point Differential from regular weekly matchups
4. Avg Points Per Game from regular weekly matchups
5. TipOff Performance (Round finished, followed H2H record, followed by points under the 8 point system)
6. Coin flip
For H2H, if more than two teams are tied and not all teams have played each other, the rule is better winning percentage in all games amongst tied teams.
