IMPORTANT CUC 2005 REGIONAL ALLOCATIONS ANNOUNCEMENT
(Wednesday, June 29th, 2005)
The CUPA Board of Directors have adopted two new
amendments for the CUC 2005 Regional Allocations to better reflect
representation of all regions.
They are:
- In divisions with 16 teams (Open and Mixed),
first of all, two spots are awarded for each region. The
balance of the bids are awarded as strength and size wildcards,
starting with strength then size, and alternating strength, size,
strength, size, until all remaining bids are filled.
- In divisions with 12 teams (Womens), first
of all, one spot is awarded for each region.
The balance of the bids are awarded as strength and size wildcards,
starting with strength then size, and alternating strength, size,
strength, size, until all remaining bids are filled. There
is a maximum of 4 bids, in total, awarded per region.
These amendments are effective immediately, and
thus nullify the regional allocations originally announced March
31st. For now, this method of distributing regional allocations
will be reviewed every two years.
The new CUC 2005 Regional Allocations are as follows:
