**DUE DATE**
All entries must be postmarked by Friday, February 4, 2022. The selection process will not begin before this date. Selection will not be done on a first come, first served basis.
SELECTION
Selection will be determined by committee only. Many criteria will be used to determine the final tournament field. Every year it is a painstaking process that we approach with a great deal of effort. Among the factors to be considered will be strength/results of your actual 2021 playing schedule, strength of your proposed 2022 playing schedule, completeness/honesty of paperwork, and a listing of the colleges and universities following your team/players. Date of receipt of entry packet will be used in case of a tie between teams, so it “could” be beneficial to send entry in early.
