These are simply the Tour finishing positions which is the total of all the
tour ranking points scored.

The Nationals seedings is based on the best four results a team has achieved
(there are also rules on rostering - only the top two unrostered teams can
enter into the 9 - 16 group). These results will be published later, and yes
there are some changes in the order based only on points but not much.
Speculate to your hearts content, but until we have checked and double
checked the calculations nothing will be confirmed.
