Competition Format
For both girls and boys, each age group at the January quarterfinals features three pools (Champions, Silver, Wildcard). Teams are placed into the pools based on their performance in Elite 64 competition from the previous season, and all teams play a minimum of three games over three days. Games are primarily scheduled in a tournament/bracket format.
The Champions pool offers teams that highest likelihood of advancing to the next stage of national competitions — the National League Semifinals. Silver pool teams have the next highest odds of advancing, followed by Wildcard pool teams. With one or more qualifying spots for each pool, every team attending the quarterfinals enters with a chance to advance to the semifinals.
Please note: The number of teams attending all Quarterfinal events may dictate the format and advancement criteria to be modified.
