Northern Lights National Qualifier

Club Bid Trickle-Down Possibilities – Week 2

In the Club Division, a bid may trickle down to as low as 4^th place.

Bids won in Regional Qualifiers do not apply in the trickle down process.    Qualifier bids always supersede Regional Bids.   Regional bids displaced by National Qualifier bids are returned to the region of origin.

If a team double Qualifies, meaning they have won the same level bid or a higher level bid in a previous National Qualifier, their bid at the NLQ will trickle down to the next highest finisher but not lower than 4^th place.

A team may decline a bid at the time of winning it, without penalty.  A team which leaves the Qualifier and has not signed the bid acceptance sheet after winning a bid will be deemed to be declining the bid and is not eligible to reclaim that bid at a later date/time.   

If a team declines a bid, that bid will trickle down to the next highest finisher but not lower than 4^th place.

A team that has previously won an American Division Bid, and wins a National Division Bid either in competition or through trickle down in the NLQ, must accept the National Division Bid from the NLQ.

All 1^st place matches and 3^rd Place matches will be played regardless of the trickle down in a division.  These matches are “medal” matches and require a winner to award the correct medals.

Teams which place 1^st, 2^nd, or 3^rd are required to report to the Winner’s Circle area with their entire team to receive their awards and sign for acceptance of any appropriate bids.
