NATIONAL SELECTION PROCESS

NATIONAL SELECTION TOURNAMENTS

The 2016 National Selection Process involves National Selection Tournaments as well as the Provincial Championships. Each player can accumulate selection points through these tournaments. There are 2 indoor and 2 outdoor designated national selection events (4 star) offered for each category at a 4 star value. At National Selection events the top 16 players will receive direct entry with another 16 spots being available for qualifiers. Players will receive ranking points for qualifying/feed up events and consolation. Consistent with the rest of the country, these national selection events are rated at 60% of the Provincial Championships.

Several national selection events were held early in June. Because of inclement weather on Sunday June 5th some of these events have yet to be completed.
