Competition Divisions

Qualifier Divisions: Events with MN/USA "Qualifier" divisions feature 6U-14U co-ed brackets (both boys & girls can equally participate) with qualification points towards regional / state tournament qualification. All qualifier division participants will accumulate qualification points towards MN/USA Regional Tournaments (for the 10U and 12U divisions) and qualification points toward MN/USA State Tournament (for the 6U qualifier & 8U qualifier divisions. All 14U qualifier participants are auto-qualified to the MN/USA Regional tournaments, but can still acquire results to help improve PIN ratings for seeds at Regionals. For each qualifier bracket, the following qualification points will be awarded: 1st place = 40 points, 2nd place = 20 points, 3rd place = 10 points and 4th place = 0 points. The Virginia qualifier features "Double Points" where the 1st-3rd place result values double (to 80, 40, and 20).  All results aid PIN ratings that will help influence seeding criteria at Regions/State as well. All participants in the qualifier division will also accumulate "REPS" points, with the top 10 in each age group (including results from freestyle/greco events) awarded at the MN/USA banquet (recognized in the Fall of 2026).
