7th/8th/9th - 7:45pm

Top 6 Seed Spreadsheet - if you see any errors or have questions, email mnaauevents@gmail.com
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).
IMPORTANT REMINDERS:
- Players may only play on one team throughout the two events. They may not be rostered on more than one team, and may not switch teams during or between the two events.
- AAU Memberships will be checked and strictly enforced. All Players and Bench Personnel must have valid AAU memberships.
