Age Divisions: Age divisions for all MN/USA events use the USAW 2 year birth year ranges, as follows (for the 2026-27 season): 6U = Birth Year 2021-2022, 8U = Birth Year 2019-2020, 10U = Birth Year 2017-2018, 12U = Birth Year 2015-2016, 14U = Birth Year 2013-2014.

*Qualifier Division: 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 State tournament, hence this an open division. Across MN/USA qualifier division results, 1st = 40 points, 2nd = 25 points, 3rd = 10 points. However, the Bemidji Qualifier features "Double Points" toward Region/State qualification, where the 1st-3rd place result values double (to 80, 40, and 20 respectively).  All results also 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 awarded at the MN/USA banquet (recognized in the Fall of 2027). Bracketing will follow standard MN/USA qualifier division pairing procedures.

**Girls Only Division: There is no qualification points up for grabs within the Girls Division, as the MN/USA Girls State Individual Tournament remains an open tournament at the end of the folkstyle season. This division is reserved for females wishing to compete against girls only competitors. Bracketing will be focused on maximizing match opportunities based on age/weight as best as possible. The default age division groupings will be 6U-8U, 10U, 12U and 14U. Results translate into "REPS" points toward end of year awards in the Girls awards category.
