Teams will receive a preliminary round point total equal to the decimal percentage of preliminary rounds won, multiplied by five. Preliminary round point totals will be calculated to two decimal points. Teams will accrue two points for a win for the first two elimination rounds that meet NPDA sweepstakes specifications. What hasn’t changed is the points from elimination rounds or that a school will earn points for the top 4 teams for the school regardless of division. Thus, a school cannot earn points from the top 4 varsity and the top 4 JV and the top 4 novice teams. • An elim win counts as 2 points per round advanced (including byes) provided there are a sufficient number of teams at the elimination round level. If, for example, the tournament goes to quarterfinals with 12 teams, then the quarterfinal round won’t count for NPDA sweepstakes purposes. Points are earned for the first two elimination rounds.
