In the interest of complete transparency, I will explain the principles we used in forming these brackets:
- Teams were first sorted by total age.
- Skill levels exceeding 9 teams were broken into pools by dividing the sorted list into similar size brackets of at least 5 teams.
- Teams were moved to different brackets to avoid too much play with other teams from the same home area.
- Some teams were moved to account for wide age disparity between the youngest and oldest.
- Some brackets were combined for medal round qualifying because they were similar age groupings. Others were not combined because there was a clear delineation in ages between the brackets.
