The seeding points for an individual player are capped at 70. Teams are seeded based on the average seeding points for the team. The teams and their seed positions are listed in the table below. To see information about each player's ACBL seeding points & 2017 Senior USBC points, download the PDF Spreadsheet of 2019 Senior USBC Seeding Points. Teams may add or drop players before the Senior USBC, which would change the seeding points.
The actual KO bracket order is based on original seed position, Round Robin finish and random shuffles, as follows: Double each team's original seed position is added to its rank in the Round Robin. The teams are then ranked by that total. The team ranked 1 will be #1. The team ranked 2 will be #2. The teams ranked 3 & 4 will be randomly assigned to #3 and #4. The teams ranked 5 & 6 will be randomly assigned to #5 and #6. The teams ranked 7 & 8 will be randomly assigned to #7 and #8.
