5. In head-to-head situations where opponents met an even number of times, and have the same number of wins over each other, the wrestler who has the lesser number of quality points from Procedure I shall have the same number of quality points as his seeding opponent. However, the wrestler in this pair who had the most quality points in Procedure I shall have a head-to-head (double++) seeding advantage. Example number one: wrestler A defeated wrestler B and later lost to wrestler B. Wrestler A had 50 quality points in Procedure I to wrestler B’s 40 quality points. Now wrestlers A and B both have 50 quality points, and Wrestler A has the head-to-head (double++) advantage over Wrestler B. Wrestler A now blocks Wrestler B from moving over Wrestler A. Example number two: Wrestler A and Wrestler B both had 40 quality points in Procedure I. During the season they faced each other twice. Wrestler A defeated wrestler B, and later wrestler B defeated wrestler A. Neither wrestler has a block over the other. They are even at this point of the seeding procedure.

For example, if awrestler is prevented fromusing a head-to-headbecauseof a block, and thatblock is removed by a succeeding common opponent procedure, then the wrestler who is nolonger blocked will immediately exercise his head-to-head advantage (prior to completing thecommon opponent procedure).
