TOURNAMENT STRUCTURE
1.
Seeding and Tie Breakers
All Conference teams that are eligible for post-season play shall participate in the Tournament.
The seeding and pairings shall be determined upon completion of the regular season. The wonlost percentage record of the teams in regular season Conference play will determine seeding.
This shall apply even in the event one or more teams cannot play its entire 18-game Conference
schedule. An ineligible team’s record and place in the final standings will be utilized in any
tiebreaker situations. The team with the best winning percentage in Conference play will be
seeded No. 1, the next best winning percentage in Conference play will be seeded No. 2, and
so forth through all the seeds.
2.
Tie Breakers
Tie breaking procedures for determining all Tournament seeding will be:
2.1. Two-team tie
a. Results of head-to-head competition during the regular season.
b. Each team’s record (won-lost percentage) vs. the team occupying the highest
position in the final regular season standings, and then continuing down through the
standings until one team gains an advantage.
When arriving at another group of tied teams while comparing records, use each team’s record
(won-lost percentage) against the collective tied teams as a group (prior to that group’s own tiebreaking procedure), rather than the performance against individual tied teams.
c. Won-lost percentage against all Division I opponents.
d. Coin toss conducted by the Commissioner or designee.
2.2. Multiple-team tie
a. Results of collective head-to-head competition (won-lost percentage) during the
regular season among the tied teams.
b. If more than two teams are still tied, each of the tied team’s record (won-lost
percentage) vs. the team occupying the highest position in the final regular season
standings, and then continuing down through the standings, eliminating tied teams
with inferior records until one team gains an advantage.
When arriving at another group of tied teams while comparing records, use each team’s record
(won-lost percentage) against the collective tied teams as a group (prior to that group’s own tiebreaking procedure), rather than the performance against individual tied teams.
If at any point the multiple-team tie is reduced to two teams, the two-team tie-breaking
procedures will be applied.
c. Winning percentage against all Division I opponents.
d. Coin toss conducted by the Commissioner or designee.
6
UPDATED FEBRUARY 26, 2014
If a coin toss is needed to establish the final seeding and pairings, it will be administered by
Commissioner Larry Scott. Each institution involved in the coin toss is entitled to have a
representative present. If a representative does not attend, the institution will be advised of the
results immediately upon completion. Results of the coin toss will be made available to the wire
services and other media outlets between 12-1 p.m. PST on Sunday, March 9, 2014.

UPDATED FEBRUARY 26, 2014
1.5. Performance Guidelines
Bands
Band members will not be permitted to play while the game action is underway. The
NCAA Basketball playing rule prohibiting playing after the first horn during timeouts will
be enforced strictly. Pac-12 regulations prohibit the use of electronic amplification with
the exception of one bass amplifier during the Tournament. Power will be supplied at
each band location. The use of artificial noisemakers and air horns is prohibited.
The bands shall alternate playing during timeouts. Stage managers will coordinate
halftime or timeout activities. Bands should anticipate promotional activities preceding
their performances during the timeouts and at halftime.
Spirit Squads
A maximum of 12 spirit squad members and one mascot will be permitted to perform.
Cheerleader performances on court will alternate during the media timeouts. The NCAA
playing rules prohibit cheerleaders from taking the court during the 30-second timeouts
or during a full timeout called by a coach (which lasts 60 seconds, rather than the 120
seconds of a media timeout). There will be a stage manager stationed near each band to
direct the spirit squad and cue their performance. Cheerleaders should anticipate
promotional activities preceding their performances during the timeouts and at halftime.
Cheerleaders will be asked to participate in some of the promotional activities.
Per Conference regulations, cheerleaders must comply with the applicable AACCA College
Guidelines. The institutional cheer coach or advisor is responsible for ensuring
compliance at the Tournament.
Mascots may not enter the seating area at the MGM Grand Garden Arena.
1.6. Seating
Bands will be assigned specially designated seating for 30 members on the floor level
below sections 1/2 or 22/24 and will remain there only when their institutions are
playing. Each pep band must vacate this seating area immediately after the game in
which its team is participating so that the pep band for the next game may move into the
seating area. A complimentary session ticket will be provided to band/spirit members to
view the alternate game within their institution’s session.
Water will be provided in the band seating area. Band/spirit members are asked to clear
the area of litter as they leave if another game follows immediately, since there will not be
time for the arena custodial crew to clean between games.
12
UPDATED FEBRUARY 26, 2014
1.7. Study Center
There will be a quiet room available for band/spirit study and exam administration in a
cleared suite at the Tropicana Hotel. The room will be open 24 hours a day starting at
noon on Tuesday, March 11 through midnight Saturday, March 15. Access to the Study
Center may be gained via key card to be issued to every institution at hotel check in. Any
required supervision must be provided by the institution. All users of the room are

Arrangements for the block of rooms outlined above should be made directly with Andrea

For the extent of each institution’s stay, the 22 rooms outlined above will be provided
complimentary. Each institution is responsible for establishing a master account at the
MGM Grand for additional rooms, incidentals, and catering. All institutions are
responsible for payment of hotel bills upon departure. Appropriate reimbursement will be
made to the institutions following the Tournament.
To arrange additional rooms beyond the outlined block of 22, please reach out to
Monique Chavez at the MGM Grand (contact information below), who will provide further
information on how to do this. Each institution will be financially responsible for any
additional rooms. The MGM will make up to 8 additional rooms per night (and a
maximum of 40 additional room nights for the Tournament period) available to each
institution at a discounted rate. This discounted rate is not set and occupancy for this
period will be high, so we encourage you to reserve these rooms as soon as possible.
Please also note that these discounted rooms can only be “accessed” by the designated
institutional tournament contacts (the MGM Grand has been provided with the list of
institutional contacts receiving this communication). If an institution requires more than
40 additional room nights, public rates will prevail for all room nights beyond the 40
made available at the discounted rate.
For the reservation of additional rooms, the MGM Grand Hotel contact is:

Deadlines to provide information/materials to the MGM Grand: Monday, February 17
Please note that, while 2/17 is the rooming list due date, the Conference has sent
previous communication requesting each institution to submit its rooming list for its
complimentary block of 22 rooms. Given the projected high occupancy of the hotel, the
sooner the MGM receives the rooming lists, the greater ability it will have to hold the best
room block for each team, with all rooms in close proximity to each other and to the
team’s Marquee Suite.
The hotel requests that you provide your contingency plans (in the event your team is
eliminated from the tournament) when you submit your rooming list so that the hotel can
be prepared for rooms and meal cancellations.

agency to enter the dressing room before the cooling-off period has expired, the dressing
room shall be opened to all other media representatives desiring access to the area. Once
opened, the dressing rooms shall remain open for a minimum of 30 minutes.
The non-winning coach and two or three players from the non-winning team will make
themselves available in the media interview room as soon as possible after the game, and

which student-athletes are requested in the interview room. Institutional Sports
Information Directors will be notified of those requests.
