Seeding & Selections
Seeding and Selections will be determined using the current NC Standings at the time (typically within 24 hours of the tournament deadline). NCTA guidelines do not allow postponing selections until the next Standings lists are released. Tournament deadlines are staggered based on the tournament tier to allow players the opportunity to register for lower tiered events if they are not selected. If you do not meet the requirements of a particular event by the tournament deadline do not expect to be selected. If you are playing up or are an out-of-state player you must request consideration for seeding via email.
