Waco, TX- The National Collegiate Equestrian Association on Wednesday announced the first set of NCEA Event Rankings for the 2018-19 collegiate equestrian season, as determined by the NCEA Selection Committee.
The National Championship format includes four Event titles that will be included in the April 2019 NCEA National Championship. The Event titles will be determined through a head-to-head bracket format in each of the four events that comprise a head-to-head in-season meet. The Event rankings are determined by the NCEA Selection Committee and are released to the National Championship. The final set of rankings will be used to seed teams for the Event title competitions in Waco, TX.
Event rankings are determined at each head-to-head competition based on a variety of data points (Win/Loss; Home/Away; Current Rank of Opponent). The Event rankings may differ from the NCEA Team Rankings that are released every week throughout the season, as they are based solely on the results from the single event in the head-to-head meet.
