Different schools across the state have volunteered to help CAAS host one of our Grand Prix Tournaments. Students can be in the 6th-12th grade of registered schools to participate in the tournament. Students that place 1st-3rd place at each tournament will receive a medal, and the students that have the most wins out of the tournaments will be given an additional award. 

Regional Tournaments are team based: each school may register in the 1A-3A or the 4A-7A division. They can play up to eight player, but only the four best scores are taken into consideration.

State Tournaments are by invitation only based on the results of the Regional Tournaments. Only four players from each team plays their rounds, and the team with the most wins will win that round.
