Various criteria went(and will be) into the conference arrangements and seedings, but the main consideration was where the nation placed the school on their list, since I asked for them to be ordered in preference; this allowed for nations to have the schools they'd rather see do well be placed better. So any "strange" record with unexpected good seeding had that play a part. A nation's history in the World Cup of Hockey were also important. Other factors were keeping the co-hosts schools out of the conferences they were scorinating and placing each of them in different conferences. This was extremely time-consuming! Any disagreements with seedings should be done in in-character roleplays only.
Hosting the tournaments will be myself, Free Republics, Torisakia and Vaugania. Right now the conferences are just listed with numbers, but each host will announce the name of their individual conference and scorinate it as they see fit(with xkoranate, round robin before single elimination). They will provide a schedule for each of their tournaments, and have been asked to schedule the first game no earlier than the the 14th and no later than 2-th.
