Here's an example (on a smaller scale) to
demostrate what Andy's getting at.
Suppose Andy were
trying to seed the field of Canadian quizbowl teams
along the same pattern as the field of 64. He would
list, by conference, the teams that have competed this
year, as follows:
OUAA: McMaster, Waterloo,
Western
OQIFC: Queen's
And then he would seed them in the
four regions, as I've shown below, including an
automatic berth for each conference:
East: (1)
Queen's
Midwest: (1) Waterloo
South: (1) McMaster
West: (1)
Western
I hope this clears things up.
