In the Open Division(s), Hawaii and Puerto Rico are given one bid for the 14s-18s & underage divisions. These bids are awarded to teams in each age division by any means they deem appropriate, such as a tournament or an application process. Any other team wishing to receive a bid for the 14 or 15 & under age divisions must attend a bid tournament and apply for an At-Large bid if necessary.
