Championship Selections
http://www.ncaa.org/sites/default/files/2018DIIIMBA_PreChampsManual_20180302.pdfThe Selection Criteria are found on page 22.
Section 2•4 Selection CriteriaPRIMARY CRITERIAThe primary criteria emphasize regional competition (all contests leading up to NCAA championships); all criteria listed will
be evaluated (not listed in priority order).
● Win-loss percentage against Division III opponents.
● Division III head-to-head competition.
● Results versus common Division III opponents.
● Results versus ranked Division III opponents as established by the rankings at the time of selection.
● Division III strength of schedule.
● Win-loss percentage — last 25% of the season (if applicable).
Contests versus provisional and reclassifying members in their third and fourth years shall count in the primary criteria.
Provisional and reclassifying members shall remain ineligible for rankings and selection.
Weighted Scale. Once the OWP and OOWP are calculated, they are to be combined on a weighted scale (e.g., 2/3 weight
for OWP and 1/3 weight for OOWP) and this combined number becomes the strength of schedule.
SECONDARY CRITERIAIf the evaluation of the primary criteria does not result in a decision, the secondary criteria will be reviewed. All the criteria
listed will be evaluated (not listed in priority order). The secondary criteria introduce results against out-of-region Division
III and all other opponents, including those contests versus opponents from other classifications (i.e., provisionals, NAIA,
NCAA Divisions I and II).
● Non-Division III win-loss percentage.
● Results versus common non-Division III opponents.
● Non-Division III strength of schedule.
