New Legislation – Proposal 2010-108

For non-revenue generating championships that seed a quarter of the bracket, sites will be awarded to the seeded teams who submit a bid that meets the requirements for hosting.

In the event that a seeded team does not submit a bid that meets the requirements, the sports committee will maintain the current policy of geographic consideration when assigning those host sites. The committees will use the geographic considerations to help maintain the balance and integrity of the bracket. The committees will also separate first and second round conference opponents.

•Availability of the facility for practice and competition;
