5. Orthopaedic Institute (3-4)
8. Assistive Choices Inc. (1-6)
Two-way tiebreakers were decided based on head-to-head results and there were ties for each spot in the standings. The WCT Warriors earned the No. 1 seed by virtue of an early win over Stern's Trailer, which was one of six straight wins to open the season for the league's No. 1 seed.
Despite coming in second, Stern's Trailer will benefit from a double-bye, with both Stern's and WCT off until Tuesday's semifinal round. Sea View Jeep and RKE Athletic, meanwhile, will have a bye through Thursday's first round and host the winners of the two opening-round games between Orthopaedic Institute and Assistive Choices Inc. and Larson Ford and Sea Shore Auto.
