MUST BE PARTICIPATING IN NEW BALANCE ALL-AMERICA TO PARTICIPATE IN THE DRAW CONTROL ACADEMY CHALLENGE

Think you’re one of the best draw takers in the country? Time to prove it.

This exclusive event brings together the top draw specialists from across the nation to compete head-to-head and display their elite skills on a national stage. The best of the best will battle it out at the center circle, showcasing pure domination at the draw. This competition will test your technique, quickness, determination, and composure under pressure. This is where the top draw takers prove exactly why they’re the best.

RULES:

Athletes will be randomly placed in 16 groups. Groups 1-8 will compete at 7pm and groups 9-16 will compete immediately after.

Each group will consist of anywhere from 4-6 athletes.

Group play will consist of each athlete competing in a best of 5 head-to-head draw control battle to possession in a round robin format vs the rest of their group. These draws will be conducted by officials using strict by the book NCAA rules. The winner of each group will be announced based on head to head records. If there is a 2 man tie then the winner of that head to head matchup is awarded the group championship. If there is a 3-way tie, then the 3 athletes will perform a 1 faceoff round robin until a player wins 2 faceoffs in a row.

Once the 16 group winners are announced, those winners will go into a single elimination bracket. Each match up will once again be best of 5 until we CROWN A CHAMPION!

All players will go through pool play, battle through your bracket within your division, and finally compete amongst all divisional winners to see who is the best draw taker in the country! Each group winner will automatically receive an invitation to the DCA National Showcase in December. All divisional champions will receive a special award, with the overall champion of the Draw Control Challenge bringing home a CASH PRIZE!
