AAU Advancement Criteria For National Championships

 

NO TEAM LEFT BEHIND!

That's what Jane Nichols, Arkansas AAU Girls Basketball Director, told her clubs last year at her 2010 coaches meeting. She is 100% CORRECT again this year! All teams need to do is participate in their District Qualifying Tournament to secure a spot in their respective Grade Division National Championship. The only remaining question then is for which Division did I qualify, Division I, Division II or Division III. Once again, they are ALL in the same place at the same time! Click here to see where your team will play in 2011.

Any club that finishes in the top four from the previous year's National Championship will receive an automatic bid to the next higher age group the following year.
If an automatic bid recipient qualifies from the 2010 District tournament advancement structure, the automatic bid may be used by the club to advance another team from their club in the same age/grade division. If the club does not use the automatic bid to advance another team from their club, the bid will revert to the District to be awarded to the next highest place team not otherwise qualified.
