OTHER INFORMATION
Ranking Tiebreaker: Lower team number (closer to 1001) wins ranking tiebreakers
Third Round Coin Flip: Flip resulted in heads, all teams on the left received plaintiff.
EXCEPTION: The coin flip resulted in UW-Superior on plaintiff and Carleton 1420 on
defense for Round 3. One member of Carleton 1420’s roster had a legitimate conflict
relating to final exams, and the team requested to be assigned plaintiff for Round 3. UWSuperior had no objection, therefore, the request was granted.
