This exciting nationwide competitive system, that brings uniformity across all 17 sections, has gone into effect as of January, 2021. This model introduces new levels ranging from Level 5 events all the way to the National Championships at Level 1 with specific draw formats contained within each level. This system creates more play opportunities for wheelchair athletes with larger draw sizes, moves to more play-friendly formats, and allows tournament directors to run events easily.
