• Schools will compete in the classification of the high school in which they feed into. If their high school doesn’t have a classification, then they will be considered on a case by case basis.

• Elementary schools may compete, but they must play in the classification of the middle school or high school in which they feed. Again, special cases will be addressed on a case by case basis.

• If multiple pools are needed, seeding for the pools is snaked with it based off of number of wins by a schools A team at NAQT events during the season. If no NAQT matches have been played, it will go back to the most recent season were matches were played. If the team is a new school or team, then they will be randomized at the end of the team list
