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

Beginning this Fall season 3v3 Live will return to an age group formation based on an Aug. 1 – July 31, rather than Jan. 1 – Dec. 31. Teams should register based on the birthday of their oldest player.

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 — U15 Team

U16 / U15 Division

More competitive — for stronger U15 teams

Higher

U15 / U14 Division

Less competitive — for developing U15 teams

Lower

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.

PREMIERNational-Level Competition

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.

COMPETITIVEAll Other Teams

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.
