2026 Flight & Brackets
2026 Flights & Brackets: Click Here
Flight Levels:
Black = 1st Level Red = 2nd Level White = 3rd Level
Please note that some teams were moved up to the age group year older than their application. This is done in an effort to ensure competitive balance in matches. If a team looked to be far stronger than the rest of the applied teams for an age group, they were moved upward to find the right competitive balance.
Additionally, there are instances where every team you see in a flight (Ex. "Black") actually asked for the flight level lower then where they are situated ("red" in this example). Please do not assume that if you're in a flight higher than you asked for that you're there with other teams that absolutely wanted to be in that higher flight. It's not uncommon to have every team in an age group request to play in the 2nd or 3rd flight. A "Black" first flight could easily be comprised of all teams that asked for the "Red" 2nd level. Keep in mind who you play and their match history, do not focus solely on the name of the flight.
These flights and brackets are not 100% finalized and could change in the week ahead based on further information from coming tournaments, or updated information from you. At this time we ask that you review your team placement and notify us only if you see a glaring error. Please also keep in mind that when you applied and entered a "suggested flight level" that it is just that, a suggestion, not a guarantee of your placement, and that your team placement is based upon your resume comparative to the entire age group applicant pool.
If you would like us to review your team placement then please complete this official "Flight Change Request Form". This is an E-Form and will be the only format in which we accept requests for revision of placement.
Submission Deadline = Sunday, May 10, 2026 @ 10:00pm
Requests for review of flight placements will not be entertained if submitted post-deadline.
To have your team placement considered for movement, up or down, we ask that within the E-Form you provide us with direct reasons and supporting evidence for the moves that we can use as reference points. Items of particular use are scores against opponents also playing in this event, or how you finished in other events along with the flight level that you played in for that event. GotSport points are not needed as a reference point. We can see those in your application already and, honestly, we do not seed flights based on GotSport points.
Please be aware that there is no guarantee that your flight or bracket will be changed by submitting a request for review. We will absolutely review the request, but it may not change.
We will not be acting on Flight Change Requests until after the submission deadline has passed. You should not expect to see potential flight movement, if you are in fact going to be moved, until Monday evening, 5/11, at the earliest.
Due by 10:00pm on Sunday, 5/10
