The various seed listings previously (and to come) in the CF360 blog include a first group of fencers (before the space) that provides a preliminary look at the potential qualifiers fro the NCAA Championships (i.e., if all of the top seeds were to maintain their position in the allocation group). In some cases, the number of fencers is more than the allocation number – meaning that one (or more) teams have more than the maximum two fencers in the allocation range ... For example, with a weapon group that has an allocation number of seven, if two teams each have three in the top-7 seeds, then the projected "cutoff" is moved out two extra spots to nine fencers. (Again, this is all hypothetical and there typically is some movement once the regional results are factored in for the final NCAA Championship selections – but this listing format provides a quick preview of the cutoff, based on the pre-regional seeding).
