How tiebreakers work: CUSA seeding goes by conference winning percentage, then (1) head-to-head record among tied teams, (2) record vs. higher-seeded teams working downward, (3) seed-priority fallback. Pool play uses serpentine seeding: Pool A = #1, #6, #9 · Pool B = #2, #5, #8 · Pool C = #3, #4, #7. Top 9 of 12 teams advance to Kennesaw; #10–12 stay home. ★ Tiebreaker note appears when seed depends on H2H or record vs. ranked.
