Regional Tournaments

As a Regional tournament, each school that is a CAAS member can register for one of the Regional tournaments. The results from all of the Regional tournaments will determine which schools get invited to the State Tournament. 

Basic Information: 

Regionals is a Team based tournament. You need at least 3 players on the team to be able to participate, and no more than 8 players on the team. 

​​

Each school can only participate in one Regional Tournament per team. You may have your Jr. High Team play at a different location than your Sr. High Team if there is scheduling conflict. 

​

If you have more than 8 players, you will have to substitute the players at different rounds. This is not the most recommended, but may be done. 

​

The top 4 players' scores on your team will be used to determine your team points. 

​

High school players must have had at least a 2.0 GPA at the end of the 2025 Fall Semester. If they did not, you will need to have them join a SIP program to try to raise their GPA before the Regional Tournament you are wanting to participate in.

 

Results from the Regional Tournament will determine a school's eligibility to join in the State Tournament.
