Waterfall and Seeding will be by Ranking

If divisions are split into multiple groups (e.g. 32 players split into two groups of 16 each), the groups will be waterfalled based on each players’ current position on the Combined National Standing List. WATERFALL is a method of distributing players into separate draws so that each draw or team is of similar overall strength. Seeding for Compass Draws will use each player’s current position on the Combined National Standing List, while Round Robin Draws will not be seeded.
