#8: With the implementation of NPI, the DIII Championships Committee has laid out its bracketing principles for championships with more than 32 teams. The top eight teams will be protected with teams ranked one through four to be number one seeds and teams five through eight to be number two seeds. Those top eight will be “bracketed based on quarterfinal matchups providing a possibility that the top eight teams could each advance to the round of eight,” and “paired in the quarterfinals based on current bracketing principles.” Further, brackets will be built “based on protecting the quarterfinal matchups that will protect No. 1s and No. 2s while maintaining geographic proximity.” On the role of regional advisory committees, RAC members will review NPI data to “affirm their accuracy” and serve as site representatives for preliminary competitions. Men’s and Women’s Basketball hosting requirements will require preliminary-round hosts to have “at minimum one camera angle and a rewindable stream.” The committee also approved championship sites through 2028, with an official announcement coming next month.
