school can enter. "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.

many at-large qualifiers as are needed to fill the national field, with
