2025 Boys Basketball Shore Conference Tournament Seeds and Pairings
This year’s Shore Conference boys and girls basketball tournaments are embarking on a new method of qualifying for and seeding the tournament. We have documented that process over the last several weeks and if you need a refresher on the key details, here it is:
- Teams are seeded based on the NJSIAA power points formula (power points divided by games played) as of games complete on Saturday, Feb. 8. The top 20 seeds will qualify for the Shore Conference Tournament. The remaining teams will be entered into the Shore Conference Coaches Cup.
- In addition to the teams ranked within the top 20 in power points, teams that win a Shore Conference division championship that are not within the top 20 will be eligible to enter either the Shore Conference Tournament or the Coaches Cup. If such teams opt into the Shore Conference Tournament, said teams will be seeded according to their power points.
- If two teams seeded consecutively have played against each other head-to-head, the team with the advantage in the head-to-head results will be seeded first. Head-to-head comparisons will start at the top of the seeding chart and work down to the bottom of the list. Teams can be dropped multiple spots if new teams listed directly below them own the head-to-head advantage.
Without further ado, here is the complete power-point list for the Shore Conference through games played on the cutoff date, Saturday, Feb. 8, followed by the pairings for the 2025 Shore Conference Tournament. You can find the 2025 Coaches Cup pairings here.
