The teams in the USBC are seeded based on a combination of Individual Positioning Points & ACBL Performance Points, including masterpoints. The seeding points for an individual player are capped at 65. Teams are seeded based on the average seeding points for the team, except that the three teams with byes are seeded on the basis of their PPs. The teams and their seed positions are listed in the table below. To see information about each player's seeding points, download the PDF Spreadsheet of 2016 USBC Seeding Points. The player's IPPs are broken down by event in an Individual Positioning Points Spreadsheet, which you can also download in PDF format. That spreadsheet is based on information from the 2015-2016 Positioning Points Spreadsheet. Finally, for the real gluttons for punishment, to see the ACBL information (masterpoints and ACBL Positioining Points) for players on each of the teams, you can This email address is being protected from spambots.

NOTE: We are still working with ACBL to assure that the ACBL seeding point totals are accurate; there were some problems, which we hope have all been resolved, but this data is subject to correction if any errors are uncovered. If you see anything that looks wrong to you, please This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. and tell her. Thanks.
Note also that the top 4 finishers in the Round Robin receive additional seeding points, which may change the seeding order for the Knockout stage.
The Jacobus team has added Jeff Holligan, which changed their seeding points and the seed order. Other teams may add or drop players before the USBC, which would change the seeding points.
