COMPETITION INFORMATION
Round Robin
A tournament in which each competitor plays in turn against most other competitors in their group.
REGIONS EXPLAINED
How Regions Work:
All NJCAAE Members are preassigned a Region designation based on the institution's location.
-
When a Region does have enough competitors for a specific Game Title to form a full competitive season, the NJCAAE National Office may combine Regions to form Districts.
Current Year Plans:
Members are preassigned to Districts based on their Region assignment and local Time zone.
-
All members within a Region that is primarily in Eastern Time will be housed in the East District.
-
All members within a Region that is Central Time to Pacific Daylight Time will participate in the Western District.
-
Competitors will be matched in groups by their assigned Region within each District, known as Super Regions.
-
In an effort to keep the Districts balanced, the NJCAAE National Office will move competitors from one district to another so that the districts have a similar number of competitors within them. Competitors may fill out this form to show their interest in being moved to a specific region for rebalancing.
District Adjustment Process:
Once final registration numbers are in for each game title, NJCAAE National Office begins balancing District competitor numbers for each game title.
-
NJCAAE National Office will identify what game titles have transfer spots open based off of registrations.
-
NJCAAE will use teams who opt in through the Premier Series (PS) District Adjustment Opt-in Form as a database of teams to move from one District to another.
-
Teams who Opt-in through the NJCAAE Tier 1 - Premier Series (PS) District Adjustment Opt-in Form are drawn at random to fill each open spot until all open transfer spots are filled or no teams remain.
-
Once no teams from the Tier 1 - Premier Series (PS) District Adjustment Opt-in Form remain, the NJCAAE National Office will pull teams according to their region assignment to fill and remaining transfer spots.
​
Completion of this form does not guarantee any team or member will be moved to their desired competition district within the Tier 1 - Premier Series (PS).
