The table below and the linked documents now show teams ranked with seeding points for the teams with changed rosters.


The teams in the USBC are seeded based on a combination of Individual Positioning Points & ACBL Performance Points, including masterpoints. The seeding points for an individual player are capped at 65. Teams are seeded based on the average seeding points for the team, except that the 2 teams with byes to the Quarterfinal are seeded on the basis of their "deep bye" PPs and the 2 teams with byes to the Round of 16 are seeded on the basis of their total PPs. The teams and their seed positions are listed in the table below. To see information about each player's seeding points, download the PDF Spreadsheet of 2017 USBC Seeding Points. The player's IPPs are broken down by event in an Individual Positioning Points Spreadsheet, which you can also download in PDF format. That spreadsheet is based on information from the 2015-2016 Positioning Points Spreadsheet. Finally, for the real gluttons for punishment, to see the ACBL information (masterpoints and ACBL Positioining Points) for players on each of the teams, you can This email address is being protected from spambots.

Notes: The top 4 finishers in the Round Robin will receive additional seeding points, which may change the seeding order for the Knockout stage.

         Teams may atill add or drop players before the USBC, which would change the seeding points.
