For example, one Level 5 Sweet 16 tournament may be split into two different locations where two 12u draws of 16 players may be played in two different cities. Per national regulation, players are NOT allowed to play in both draws. Players will be assessed 4 suspension points if they enter in more than one draw. The other location for this tournament is Eden Prairie Life Time in Eden Prairie, MN and will be played the weekend of November 13-15.

Questions parents ask
Will my junior get in?
No draw is full yet. Selection is by ranking list, so a junior with no ranking can still get in when a draw is not full, and goes on the alternate list when it is.
What is a Level 5?
A district-level event. Bigger draws, ranking matters for selection, points per win are higher than Level 6.
When do we know?
Selections post after entries close (Wed, Nov 11, 4:59pm CST). Draws usually post the week of the tournament. Text Coach Ace and we will tell you the moment either one lands.
