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.
