District rankings are determined by the top 4 events played in a 12 Month Rolling Stand. Sectional ranking points are awarded for Level 5 tournaments and higher. Sectional rankings are determined by the top 5 events played in a 12 Month Rolling Stand. National ranking points are awarded for Level 3 tournaments and higher. National rankings are determined by the top 6 events played in a 12 Month Rolling Stand. Page 1
