SEEDING
All 2004 Champions still need to register to fight at this years 2005 IKF North American Classic. Champions "DO NOT" have to register at a regional seeding event to be seeded for the 2005 IKF North American Classic. However, if they choose to register and fight at a regional seeding event, they automatically lose their automatic top seeded position. Seeding positions are determined as follows:

1. TOP SEED IN DIVISION: Previous years NAC Tournament Champion.
2. Winner at a Regional Seeding Tournament in their region - Must be an actual Regional bout in the weightclass for both fighters. Not just a matched-up win.
   • Followed by a fighter at a Regional Seeding Tournament that may have won 1, lost 1, won 2 lost 1 etc.
3. Fought in a Regional Seeding Tournament but lost.
4. Registered for a Regional Seeding Tournament but did not have a fight.
5. Had no Regional Seeding Tournament in their area and registered as a walkover.
6. Had a Regional Seeding Tournament in their area but due to hardships, could not attend and received a waiver from the IKF and the Regional promoter after the fighter has paid the Regional Promoter fees to the Regional Promoter.
7. BOTTOM SEED IN DIVISION: Any of the above but registered AFTER the first Registration Deadline of July 22nd.
   This year ALL fighters who register AFTER the first Registration Deadline of July 22nd will not only be charged a late fee, but also be seeded at the bottom of their division.
   This rule applies to ALL CHAMPIONS too.
   Late registered fighters will be seeded according to DATE we receive their Registration Forms "AND" Fees.
8. ALL TIES Will be broken by "PROVEN and "VERIFIABLE" fight records. For this reason, it will assist all fighters best who include their full fight record with their fighter registration for the Finals.
