D. Each district will be required to determine their national qualifiers.
E. After district qualifying is completed, if the number of qualifying teams is less than 24 teams, at-large teams will be added to

complete the field of 24 teams. At-large teams will be selected on May 1 and will be identified by the highest ranking teams in the
final NJCAA poll not already qualified. Teams must participate in the district qualifying tournament in order to be considered for at-
large berths to the NJCAA National Tournament.
F. If there is a host team/teams (not to exceed two by bid) they will receive an automatic bid if such teams fail to qualify.
Qualifications of Team and Individuals for Competition – Men (Division II)
A. Each district will qualify the following number of teams and individuals using a 33% rule. (33% rule is multiplied by the total number
of players participating in district play). This formula will determine the number of teams and individuals that qualify for the National
Tournament. The total number of teams are determined by the NJCAA commitments by division.
B. Individual participants for each district will not be able to exceed eight individual players but required to qualify at least one team.
C. Districts will need to create guidelines and procedures and determine fewer teams/individuals offered by this Districting Proposal
but may not be able to go over the maximum number of players representing their District.
D. Region 4 and Region 13 are the only two Regions that qualify for Nationals in the fall, so both Regions will be matched up to qualify
their teams for the National Tournament in Midwest District if Region 13 has any future Division II schools.
E. If the Medalist in a District Tournament is not part of the winning team, he will automatically qualify for the National Tournament.
F. If any District has 1 or 2 teams qualify without any individuals, an individual will be added to that district. Districts affected are B, F, & H.
G. Districts include: (20 potential teams & 32 individuals for a total of 132 potential players)
