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!
|
Medical Release
Please print, complete and bring medical release form to player check in.

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.
