The teams in the USBC are seeded based on a combination of Individual Positioning Points, Masterpoints, ACBL Performance Points and Track Record Points. The seeding points for an individual player are capped at 70. 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 2008 USBC Seeding Points . Note that the top 4 finishers in the Round Robin receive additional seeding points, which may change the seeding order for the Knockout stage.
