I.
GENERAL ADMINISTRATION OF THE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP
A. Historical Perspective
The first Division II National Championship was held in 1976 and was moderately successful, as was the
second championship in 1977. After the 1977 championship, it was realized that there were two realities that
must be dealt with to have a strong possibility of economic success: (1) A participating team that had local
identification along with a National Championship site, and (2) the most economical but realistic representation
of other participating institutions. In 1981, the participating institutions realized that shrinking athletic budgets
and rising costs might necessitate gathering outside sponsorship to relieve the financial burdens. Such inquiries
were made.
B. Administration
The National Basketball Committee shall be officially determined by October 15 of each year. The National
Basketball Committee shall consist of Regional Basketball Chairs, the National Division II Basketball Chair
and the National Division II Basketball Vice-Chair.
C. Team Information
1. Size and Date of Championship
a. The NCCAA Men’s Division II National Championship shall be an eight-team championship (see
Appendix A). The championship shall involve the four regional champions, the host team and at-large
teams. Seeding of the eight teams shall be done by the National Basketball Committee following the
seeding guidelines in the Handbook. There shall be no byes in the eight team format.
1) At-Large Teams shall be selected as follows:
a) The at-large request to be considered for the NCCAA National Championship is on the
Declaration of Intent to Participate. Athletics Directors may list the conditions by which they
shall accept at-large berths on the Declaration of Intent to Participate. To be considered for an
at-large berth, you must have played in the NCCAA Regional Championship or been exempt
due to NCAA or NAIA conflicts.
b) No lower than fifth seed in the region.
c) If teams in the same region are matched in the first round, the National Basketball Committee
shall consider switching the lower seed.
d) Teams not assigned to a region (e.g. west coast members) shall be deemed qualified to
participate in the National Championship if they meet the following criteria:
i. Win the designated Regional Championship game.
ii. Have a .400 winning percentage.
iii. Have a 5.20 NCCAA Power Rating (see Appendix G).
2) There shall be two votes and a phone call to validate the process. The first shall determine who
the at-large teams are and the second shall seed the tournament. The phone call shall be used to
validate the voting process and examine if there are any concerns with the seeding process.
b. Date: The National Championship shall begin on Thursday, one week after the Regional
Championships have been completed.
Future Championship Dates:
March 9-11, 2017
March 8-10, 2018
March 7-9, 2019

REGIONAL BASKETBALL PLAYOFF HANDBOOK
NCCAA Division II
A Handbook of Policies and Procedures for Governing and Conducting
NCCAA Division II Regional Playoff Contests.
I.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE
The heart of Division II basketball is the regional playoff. All member institutions in good standing are eligible and all
are encouraged to participate. A championship for NCCAA Division II member institutions was authorized in March of
1975. The first National Championship was held at Baptist Bible College (PA) in March of 1976 and won by Summit
Christian College (Ft. Wayne, IN) in a thrilling 81-80 victory over the host institution. The 1977 champion was Western
Baptist Bible College (Salem, OR). Again, Baptist Bible College (PA) was the national runner-up. The site for this
championship was moved from Pennsylvania to Missouri and Baptist Bible College of Springfield, Missouri became the
official Division II host. The championship has been held in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma in recent years.
The purpose of this handbook is to provide a uniform operating code for all Division II teams who play on the regional
level. Regional games supply a large portion of the Division II playoff budget and enable institutions with less financial
resources opportunity to compete on a national level. The Division II National Basketball Committee and the NCCAA
Board of Directors request the cooperation of all Division II institutions in the use of this handbook.
II. GENERAL ORGANIZATION
All regional playoffs are under the direct control and supervision of the respective NCCAA Division II Regional
Basketball Chairs. The Regional Basketball Chair shall run the region with either (1) the Regional Basketball Chair and
two appointed members or (2) all the coaches in the region. The Regional Basketball Chair shall be sensitive to the
desires of the region when appointing members to the committee.
A. The Regional Basketball Chair’s responsibilities are:
1. Ensure that the playoff competition is conducted in a fair, ethical and professional manner.
2. Approve the regional playoff plan, including:
a. Dates of playoffs.
b. Type of playoffs, including number of teams and bracketing format.
c. Method of team selection.
d. Method of site selection.
e. Obtaining a list of approved officials from each participating institution.
f. Obtaining a list of approved sites.
3. Establish and enforce financial policies for the playoffs within the national guidelines.
4. Serve as the communication link between the National Basketball Chair and the individual institutions as it
pertains to the general operation and requirements of a Division II basketball program.
5. Each regional host is required to video each semi-final game and the championship game. Each regional
basketball chair is responsible to coordinate film exchange with the National Championship opponent(s) by
the day after the seeds are announced.
6. Submit weekly regional reports and Top 10 Rankings votes to the National Basketball Chair.
B. By November 1, Regional Basketball Chairs must notify the National Basketball Chair as well as the National
Office about regional championship format, dates, site and other pertinent information.
C. If no report is received from a region by the November 1 deadline, the National Basketball Chair shall contact
the region to investigate. If the second deadline is not met, the region shall lose an automatic bid. An at-large
bid shall be created to be filled by the National Championship Selection Committee.
III. SELECTION OF PARTICIPATING TEAMS
A. The Regional Basketball Chair, or regional coaches, are responsible for administering the regional playoff and
must maintain a close contact with the participating institutions. The team selection policy shall fairly represent
the interests and desires of the participating institutions.
Men’s Basketball II 108
B. Following are possible playoff alternatives (host teams must meet the site criteria):
1. An All-Regional Championship at highest seeded team’s gymnasium
2. Teams to play each other based on final regional ranking (#1 vs. #8, #2 vs. #7, #3 vs. #6, and #4 vs. #5).
3. An All-Regional Championship is played at a predetermined site as agreed upon by the regional members
(see Appendix E), with pairings based on final regional ranking.
4. Multi-site competition based on regional final standing (#8 travels to #1, #7 travels to #2, #6 travels to #3,
and #5 travels to #4). If #1, #2, #3 and #4 win, then #4 travels to #1 and #3 travels to #2. The highest
seeded winner shall then host the final game for the Regional Championship.
5. Same as Item 4. above, but sites to be determined by geographical location within the region, such as South
Region, East Region, Central Region, etc. with the highest seeded team hosting each pairing.
6. The top four teams meet at a single site for a championship. Pairings shall be by regional ranking.
7. The top two teams play the best two out of three. Alternate site: highest seed, site for games one and three
and second seed for game two.
8. If a region is made up of the same teams that form a conference, then a Conference Championship may be
run to determine the champion.
9. Regions with only three member schools may choose to use regular season round-robin results to determine
the Region Champion that shall represent them at the National Championship. This does not apply to
regions that have four or more member schools.
IV. SELECTION OF GAME SITE
A. All games are to be played on courts that meet the following specifications:
1. Dimensions must range from 84’ x 50’ (minimum) to 94’ x 50’ (maximum). The larger is preferred.
2. Rectangular plexiglass backboards.
3. Acceptable playing surface and court safety.
4. Adequate seating. NOTE: See Administrative Procedures, Item F.
B. A team without such a facility may rent one when it qualifies to host a regional game. The Regional Basketball
Committee shall determine if the site is acceptable for championship games and if the games can be
appropriately administered by the National Basketball Committee.
C. Sites not meeting the aforementioned criteria may not be approved.
V. ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURES
A. It is mandatory that all championship games be conducted in accordance with the NCCAA Regional and
National Guidelines and Bylaws.
B. Game officials shall be approved by the regional body of coaches.
C. The NCCAA provides a standard banner for all regional basketball team champions. This shall be paid for by
the respective region. This award shall be ordered in advance by the Regional Coordinator from the NCCAA
National Office and shipped directly to that Regional Coordinator to be distributed at the annual regional
meeting.
D. Complimentary tickets: Each participating institution is allotted six complimentary tickets. These tickets shall
be delivered to the institution’s president to be used at his/her discretion. Regular season official game
personnel shall be admitted without cost. This includes coaches, players, managers, statisticians and
cheerleaders. Coaches and Athletics Directors are encouraged to monitor this procedure to prevent abuse.
E. The minimum ticket price structure shall be as follows:
Adults (General Admission)
$3.00
Students (with ID cards)
$2.00
High School Students
$2.00
Children (under 12 years)
$1.00
NOTE: If a championship format is used, the region may seek full session championship tickets. Reserved
tickets may be sold at a higher rate.
Men’s Basketball II 109
F.
Each visiting team is guaranteed a minimum of 200 tickets for each game/session in which its team competes
(for the purpose of selling). If tickets are sent to visiting teams for pre-sale, unsold tickets should be delivered
to the game site at least two hours before game time.
G. Expense allowance: In regional championships, all teams shall assume all of their own expenses, including
travel, meals, housing, officials and gymnasium rentals. This shall allow the regional representative to the
National Championship greater financial assistance. All extra finances shall be given to the regional winner as
part of its money for the National Championship.
H. Each host institution shall complete a playoff financial report (see Appendix F) and file the report with the
NCCAA Division II National Championship Director prior to the NCCAA Division II National Championship.
In compiling the report, income involves the following items: ticket sales, program sales, advertising, radio
rights and any other income derived from the operation of the playoffs, except concessions and parking.
The same criteria for the Regional Championships shall be used for the sub-national playoff. Any regional
revenue of the losing sub-national team shall be turned over to the winning team to assist with national
expenses, minus money used in meeting sub-national expenses.
I.
Should income from an individual regional playoff be in excess of the authorized expenses incurred by that
region’s team champion at the National Championship, this amount shall be prorated back to the respective
region to assist the participants of that regional playoff with allowable expenses they chose to forego during the
second and subsequent games.
J.
The ball used during the Regional Championship shall be the same as the ball used at the National
Championship.

NCCAA Power Rating System Method
I. Formula
For each game played a team earns power points based on the following formula:
1. Win/Loss
a. if a win
4 points
b. if a loss
0 points
2. Home/Away/Neutral Contest
a. if away or neutral
1 point
b. if home
0 points
3. Opponent’s Record
a. .667 - 1.000 winning percentage
3 points
b. .500 - .666 winning percentage
2 points
c. .333 - .499 winning percentage
1 point
d. .000 - 332 winning percentage
0 points
4. Opponent’s Affiliation
a. NCAA I
4 points
b. NCAA II/CIS
3 points
c. NAIA/NCAA III/NCCAA I
2 points
(basketball divides NAIA I to 2.5 points and NAIA II to 2 points)
d. NCCAA II/USCAA/Other
1 point
5. Ranked Opponent
If opponent is ranked in Top 25 of NCAA or NAIA
1 point
poll at reporting date.
II. Power Points
A. The sum of those criteria determines the power points for a game. The maximum points for a contest is 13 (a
win on the road against a .667 or better NCAA I Top 25 team). The minimum points for a game is 1 (loss at
home against a .332 or lower losing NCCAA II/USCAA team).
B. The rating is determined by adding the power points for the season and dividing by the number of games (to the
third decimal place).
III. Rankings Based on Power Points
The rating system is only as accurate as the information supplied on the game results reporting form. Each
institution should report the most accurate data possible. Each region should have a system in place for ensuring the
accuracy of the reported ratings at the initial reporting date. The end of the regular season power rating for each
institution shall determine the seeding and any at-large selections for the National Championship.
IV. Reporting Dates
Team and individual statistical data, along with game results, game location, and opponent’s affiliation shall be
reported each week. For individual player statistics, only stats for players who qualify for national rankings need to
be reported.
NCCAA Power Ratings, including the opponent’s record and Top 25 ranking information, shall be calculated
beginning the first Monday in February and each week following that date. The opponent’s win-loss record shall
reflect their record at the reporting date. After this date, it shall reflect the opponent’s record at the time of the
contest.
