3v3 Live
Divisions
3v3 Live forms divisions based on a combination of age group and skill level — so every team competes at the right level.
Part 1
Age Groups
3v3 Live uses Calendar Year age divisions. Teams should register based on the birth year of their oldest player.
How It Works — Example
If your oldest player was born in 2012, your team registers in a 2012-based division.
Younger players on your roster are allowed — the division is determined by the oldest player only.
Part 2
Higher & Lower Brackets
When registering for local events, each age group includes two bracket choices — a higher bracket and a lower bracket. Teams that consider themselves to be more competitive should select the higher bracket.
Bracket Example — 2015 Team
2014 / 2015 Division
More competitive — for stronger 2015 teams
2015 / 2016 Division
Less competitive — for developing 2015 teams
Note: All division placements will be reviewed by the tournament director. Teams may, at the sole discretion of the tournament director, be moved up or down to form the most competitive brackets possible.
Part 3
Skill Level
Teams register for their age group. If your team considers itself nationally competitive, register under the PREMIER division — otherwise, you're COMPETITIVE.
The PREMIER division is for teams who consider themselves competitive NATIONALLY with the top teams in their age group. Teams registered in PREMIER will always be placed in the most competitive division available for their age group — no exceptions.
All non-PREMIER teams compete in the COMPETITIVE division. Whether you're a seasoned local squad or playing in your first tournament, this is your division — with brackets structured to match you against teams at a similar level.
Age + Skill = Your Division
Your final division is the combination of both. For example: a team with a 2012 oldest player entering the PREMIER level plays in the 2012 PREMIER division.
