Junior Series
The new junior series will take the forefront of junior competitions now across Wales. The junior series events will be mixed gender up to and including the U19 age group and include a plate format ensuring all players get fun competitive games. International competing juniors will be unable to enter the junior series and pushed to enter the graded series. A ranking system will be created and updated after each event giving each individual a personal ranking across Wales. This ranking system can then be used to help with selections for junior events such as the Celtic challenge and the Quad.
Graded Series
The graded series is currently a series of 4 tournaments spread across the season which earn individuals grading points towards selection for the four nations graded international. Each individual is given a grade from E, F, G or H with E being the highest level and H being the current lowest.
