Eligibility for HJGT Boys 16-18 Division

Boys who range in ages 16-18 are eligible to participate in the HJGT Boys 16-18 division. A player’s age division is determined by his or her age during round two. A player may move up during the middle of the season. For example, if a player is 15 and turns 16 during the middle of the season, he will play the remainder of the season from the 16-18 division. Points do not roll over to another division. Players will be permitted to earn points in two age divisions.

Players that become officially enrolled and attending college are no longer eligible to compete in any division, regardless of age.
