"JV" in this box means that all players must be in grades 9 or 10 unless otherwise noted; however, some tournaments with JV divisions do NOT require that JV players be underclassmen; these tournaments will not have "JV" in the entrance restrictions box. Teams may only play once on each NAQT invitational set; see NAQT’s schedule page for information on which set is being used for which tournament.
