12U Division
New for 2015 (effective March 1), players will not be allowed to compete
in a North Carolina Level 3 tournament in the 12U division unless they
have accumulated at least 300 ranking points in North Carolina at the
time selections are made. The North Carolina Junior Tournament
Committee put this rule in place to be sure that players are developing
properly in the correct pathway (from 10U Orange). All North Carolina
state L4s and L5s use green ball in the 12s, so the player has to earn
their way into a North Carolina L3 in 12U yellow ball.

Refunds
There will be no refunds after the deadline. No exceptions!

Waterfall System and L3 Rules
All North Carolina Level 3 Tournaments adopt the "waterfall system". Taking cost of school day factors into account, this allows tournaments to be completed in just two days and provides players with the opportunity to earn more ranking points. Draws are limited to 32 players in each division. Each division that has 24 or more players will be split into two separate draws. Players will then "waterfalled" into two balanced draws based on the selection lists in the following order: RED: 1,4,5,8,912,13,16,17,20,21,24,25,28,29,32. WHITE: 2,3,6,7,10,11,14,15,18,19,22,23,26,27,30,31. Selections will be made using the most up to date NC standings. Seeds will be determined using the NCTA Seeding Criteria. Late entries are not allowed in North Carolina L3 tournaments.
