Below is the bid allocation for the 2018 Triple Crown Tour sectional championships to regional championships, taking into account the Pro and Elite Flight teams that have accepted their byes to regionals and those that earned growth bids in the women’s division. The bid allocation for regionals to Nationals will occur with next week’s end-of-regular-season rankings, after the Pro Championship. To be included in these rankings, teams must have played, or will have played after the Pro Championships, 10 games and have registered for the Triple Crown Tour Postseason Series.

August 29 Rankings:

• Men’s Division
• Mixed Division
• Women’s Division

Great Lakes

Mid-Atlantic

North Central

Northeast

Note:

• In the women’s division, there was one more strength bid available than ranked teams to apply the bid to. East New England had the highest average power rating based on Sectional strength, so earned the final bid. 

Northwest

Notes:

• In the women’s division, Schwa took P/E bye, Ivy elected to migrate to the Washington Section instead of “winning a one-team” Oregon Section. The Oregon auto bid moves to Washington.
• In the mixed division, there were more strength bids available than ranked teams to apply those bids to. As a result, the final three strength bids were awarded using the average strength rule and applied in this order: Washington (5th bid – Avg. Strength #1), Big Sky (6th bid, Avg. Strength #2), Oregon (7th bid, Avg Strength #3).

South Central

Southeast

Note: Corrections were found that affect the Florida, Gulf Coast, East Plains and Central Plains sections in the men’s division, as well as the North Carolina, East Coast, Rocky Mountain and Texas sections in the mixed division. Updated and correct bid allocations now appear above.
