2. TOURNAMENT STRUCTURE

2.1. SEEDING AND TIE BREAKERS All Conference teams that are eligible for post-season play shall participate in the Tournament. The seedings and pairings shall be determined upon completion of regular season play on Saturday, March 5. The won-lost percentage record of the teams in regular season Conference play will determine tournament seedings. The team with the best won-lost percentage in Conference play will be seeded #1, the next best won-lost percentage in Conference play will be seeded #2, and so forth through all the seeds.

2.2. TIE BREAKERSTie breaking procedures for determining all Tournament seeding will be:

2.2.1. TWO-TEAM TIEa. Results of head-to-head competition during the regular season.b. Each team’s record (won-lost percentage) vs. the team occupying the highest position in the

final regular season standings, and then continuing down through the standings until one team gains an advantage.

c. When arriving at another group of tied teams while comparing records, use each team’s record (won-lost percentage) against the collective tied teams as a group (prior to that group’s own tie-breaking procedure), rather than the performance against individual tied teams.

d. Won-lost percentage against all Division I opponents.e. Coin toss conducted by the Commissioner or designee.

2.2.2. MULTIPLE-TEAM TIEa. Results (won-lost percentage) of collective head-to-head competition during the regular

season among the tied teams.b. If more than two teams are still tied, each of the tied team’s record (won-lost percentage)

vs. the team occupying the highest position in the final regular season standings, and then continuing down through the standings, eliminating tied teams with inferior records until one team gains an advantage.

When arriving at another group of tied teams while comparing records, use each team’s record (won-lost percentage) against the collective tied teams as a group (prior to that group’s own tie-breaking procedure), rather than the performance against individual tied teams.

After one team has an advantage and is seeded, all remaining teams in the multiple-team tie-breaker will repeat the multiple-team tie-breaking procedure.

When the multiple-team tie is reduced to two teams, the two-team tie-breaking procedures will be applied.

c. Winning percentage against all Division I opponents.d. Coin toss conducted by the Commissioner or designee.

If a coin toss is needed to establish the final seeding and pairings, it will be administered by Commissioner Larry Scott. Each institution involved in the coin toss is entitled to have a representative present.

The NCAA playing rules prohibit cheerleaders from taking the court during the 30-second timeouts or during a full timeout called by a coach (which lasts 60 seconds, rather than the 120 seconds of a media timeout).

Cheerleaders should anticipate promotional activities preceding their performances. Cheerleaders will be asked to participate in some promotional activities.

Per Conference regulations, cheerleaders must comply with the applicable AACCA College Guidelines. The institutional cheer coach or advisor is responsible for ensuring compliance at the Tournament.

Each band must vacate the seating area immediately after the game in which its team is participating so that the band for the next game may move into the seating area.

Water will be provided near the band seating area. Band/spirit members are asked to clear the area of litter as they leave if another game follows immediately, since there will not be time for the arena custodial crew to clean between games.

4.9. STUDY CENTERThere will be three quiet rooms available for band/spirit study and exam administration in cleared suites at the New York New York. The rooms will be open 24 hours a day starting at noon on Tuesday, March 8 through midnight Saturday, March 12.

Space has been reserved at each hotel for single or double occupancy rooms for each team and their official party participating in the Tournament. In addition, a suite for each University President / Chancellor, Director of Athletics, and Head Basketball Coach has been reserved.

The following guest rooms have been blocked for each institution (22 rooms total, per institution):

Ø Double Occupancy Rooms: 14 Ø King Rooms: 5 Ø Suites: 3

w 1 suite: President / Chancellor w 1 suite: Director of Athletics w 1 suite: Head Basketball Coach

Arrangements for the block of rooms outlined above should be made directly with the primary contact for each hotel.

Please note that, while February 12 is the rooming list due date, the Conference advises each institution to submit its rooming list for its complimentary block of 22 rooms as soon as possible. Given the projected high occupancy of the hotels, the sooner each hotel receives the rooming lists, the greater ability it will have to hold the best room block for each team, with all rooms in close proximity to each other.

The hotel requests that you provide your contingency plans (in the event your team is eliminated from the tournament) when you submit your rooming list so that the hotel can be prepared for rooms and meal cancellations.

For the extent of each institution’s stay, the 22 rooms outlined above will be provided complimentary. Each institution is responsible for establishing a master account at each hotel property for additional rooms, incidentals, and catering. All institutions are responsible for payment of hotel bills upon departure. Appropriate reimbursement will be made to the institutions following the Tournament.

5.6.1. ADDITIONAL HOTEL ROOMSTo arrange additional rooms beyond the outlined block of 22, please reach out to hotel contacts below, who will provide further information. Each institution will be financially responsible for any additional rooms. The Conference has worked with each hotel to make a limited number of additional rooms available to each team at a discounted rate. This discounted rate is not set and occupancy for this period will be high, so teams are encouraged to reserve these rooms as soon as possible.

Please also note that these discounted rooms can only be “accessed” by the designated institutional tournament contacts (each hotel has been provided a list of institutional contacts).

Arrangements have been made for the Pac-12 Networks to annually televise nationally eight (8) Tournament games. FOX (FS1) will televise the other three (3) games at the 2016 Tournament, including one quarterfinal game, one semifinal game and the Championship contest.

ESPN and FOX shall rotate the televising of three (3) Tournament games through the duration of the agreement, which runs through 2024. The specific networks to be used by ESPN and FOX for distribution of the Tournament games shall be determined on an annual basis.

Games nine (9), ten (10), and eleven (11) must not be on SiriusXM.]

There shall be no rights fee charged to the institution’s official radio station by the Pac-12. Each official radio station shall be granted a radio position, not to exceed three seats, for the game(s) it’s institutional partner participates in during the Tournament. The Media Director will assign the broadcast positions and arrange for radio lines to be installed.
