Prize money eligibility:
In a given field, unranked Open participants and women who earn higher prizes in the other gender field are ineligible, regardless of number of tournaments played.
Tournament directors in our region are at liberty to use the Elite Series for seeding brackets. The Rankings may be used as a starting point, a tie breaker, a sole determinant, or any other assistive tool for seeding.
The Elite Rankings provide a priority list for invitations to the Northshore Handball Tournament.
