I'm pretty sure all of these Middle School State Tourneys are open to any and every school fielding a team. I know the 7th grade tourney this weekend had 54 schools.
Maybe Mr. Slate, canoeman or some of the other coaches could say for sure if that's how it is.

It has nothing to do with winning any tournament beforehand. If your team is interested, the deadline hasn't passed, and there are spots left, you can enter. It is a great tournament.
