SEEDING MEETING: The seeding meeting details will be announced closer to the event.
AAU State Prelims | May 2-4, 2025 | 3 Game Guarantee | Pool Play
AAU State Championships | May 9-11, 2025 | 3 Game Guarantee | Bracket Play
Minnesota Teams Only (Plus Fargo/Moorhead Metro Teams & Duluth/Superior Metro Teams)
Top seeds will be placed into "Super Pools" where they will play each other for the top seeds in the D1 State Championship Tournament. The remaining teams will be placed into the remaining pools to earn a spot into either the D1, D2 or D3 State Championship Tournament; based on their pool results. The philosophy behind this format is to keep games competitive for all teams involved. The seeds from the Prelims are used to bracket the teams for the D1, D2 & D3 State Championships.
The top 6 teams from last year's State Championships are locked into those spots. There are 2 at-large spots in the super pools (unless a team dropped, then there are 3).
