The goal of the Middle School League is to provide a venue for younger players to gain more tournament experience, while allowing them to play against competitors of their same ability. Eligible players must be enrolled in an academic program as a fifth through eighth grade student and are entered as an individual. Players are responsible for bringing or leasing appropriate horses for the tournament, as the split-string format is not used. Player applications are accepted on a rolling basis by tournament.
