(c) Initial Seed: All entries to the Mayor’s Cup will be rank ordered according the below procedure to create an Initial Seed. 1) Returning Mayor’s Cup Champions at that particular weight will automatically be placed as the first seed and remain in the top position, unless another wrestler can jump them with a Head to Head win. 2) Returning Place winners (top 3) at that weight will automatically be placed as next available seeds and remain in the next position, unless another wrestler can jump them with a Head to Head win. 3) All remaining wrestlers will be listed in rank order from the wrestler with the highest number of seed points to the wrestler with the lowest number of seed points. Wrestlers with an equal number of seed points will be ranked by win / loss differential. Wrestlers with an equal number of points and an equal win / loss differential will be ranked by total number of wins. 4) All entries to a particular weight class will be seeded.
(d) Head to Head mechanics and final seeding 1) Only Head to Head matches from the current season will be considered for head to head mechanics. 2) Defaults and Disqualifications count. 3) We will start the head-to-head evaluation with the wrestler who has the highest number of seeding point from part I. The second-ranked wrestler has the first opportunity to advance on head-to-head competition over the top-ranked wrestler. The third-ranked wrestler follows and so forth in the order of part I rank. However, a wrestler may not move over an opponent to whom he/she has lost. 4) In head-to-head situations where opponents met twice, the most recent win takes precedence.
5) Where opponents met an odd number of times, the wrestler with the best record in these matches will receive the higher seed. 6) This will establish a final seeding point ranking.
