algorithm

For the first time, the Southern Section will use a computer algorithm to place teams in playoff divisions, which will be culture shock to some.

The seeding comes from a computer algorithm after the Southern Section made the decision to take 10 Division 1 teams, then 16 in each to fill the remaining 13 divisions.

Then one day, I gave it some thought, and began watching videos posted by luthiers on YouTube, which led me inexorably from guitar making to guitar repair, which, in turn, led the algorithm to show me videos of all sorts of other things being repaired.

The case alleges the video platform's algorithm exposed them to content promoting self-harm, eating disorders and suicide, said Laure Boutron-Marmion, a lawyer for the families.

Then came the competitive equity playoffs, where a computer algorithm ranks teams and ignores geography, league representation and head-to-head results.
