I'm not sure where the information all went to but here goes in short for those who don't know what goes on...
Members of the USCHO DIII Message Board Fan Forum nominate 68 fellow USCHO DIII Message Board members based on two things:
- Only DIII Men Fan Forum Members are allowed to be nominated
- Nominees must be registered at least 30 days prior to the start of the TOP
Once all 68 nominations have been filled, the D3TOP Committee then will look up the following for each member:
- Registration Date
- Total Posts
- Average Posts Per Day
All nominees will then be placed on a spreadsheet and are then ranked (1-68 with 1 being top) in each of the following criteria:
- Registration Date (10%)
- Total Posts (15%)
- Average Posts Per Day (25%)
The D3TOP Committee then submits their own personal ranking of 1-68 based on their own personal reasons. They can use the statistics given, but do not have to weight one criteria more then the other. Those FIVE rankings are then averaged together to get the posters Committee Rank. The Committee Rank then makes up 50% of the OVERALL Rank as seen below:
- Registration Date (10%)
- Total Posts (15%)
- Average Posts Per Day (25%)
- Committee Rank (50%)
= TOTAL RANK
Once the members TOTAL Rank is computed, the list of nominees is then sorted based off of their TOTAL RANK 1-68 with 1 being the #1 overall seed and #68 being the last overall seed. Going in order, the nominees are then placed into the 4 Regions by seed with no regard to matchups and or distance traveled. Once the Seedings are set, the Committee will then meet again to make any changes with in the specific seed numbers to create better matchups; meaning a 4 Seed in the "Region A" can move to the "4 Seed" in Region B to avoid or create matchups. HOWEVER a 4 Seed can not be made a 3 of 5 Seed.
Once the seeding is finished, the bracket is set for a single elimination 64 team (4 Play In games) Tournament and announced to the public May 11th during the D3TOP Selection Show, which may have some video and or some audio if things play out okay.
#1 Seed will faceoff against the #16 Seed in a Monday-Saturday Online Poll where USCHO Members vote for their favorite based on whatever they feel. At the conclusion of the poll, the winner moves on, the loser goes home. We continue till we have a Champion. If there is a tie there is a one day (Sunday) Sudden DEATH (yes we still call it DEATH) poll that will determine the winner. If still tied, we flip a coin...because that's good enough to determine actual hockey standings....
We only run a maximum of 4 polls during the Monday-Saturday period and a full schedule will be posted on the "Selection Show" night.
What do you win? Nothing.
It just simply keeps things interesting here on the board during the summer months....
I think I covered everything, but any more questions let me know....Comment

You should release the polls one by one as they come in, except keep the last one secret and then do all of your seeding based off the poll we don't see. You know, for transparency.Originally posted by PSUChamps2001 View Post#OneKnightComment

They will be posted unanimously. It will be up to the individual poster to acknowledge his own poll if they chose to. However the committee WILL publish the reasons why they moved seeds around....Originally posted by CARDS_rule_the_Burgh View PostI see what you did there

I've been working away at the Selection Show and Regional Selection Show. Just waiting for one more Committee Poll to be submitted and then we will have our seedings. I've done a prelim bracket based on all the data I have right now, and there are some VERY interesting matchups to say the least lol. Believe it or not, Fishman is only a couple votes in the remaining poll to receive a 2nd round home gameOriginally posted by The Real Georgia Peach View PostI've been away for a couple weeks......What did I miss?
