THE BEST IN THE COUNTRY

71% All-Americans, All-Region and All-Conference players

Going into its 13th year, this game has been highly successful and is undoubtedly the premier post-season honorary showcase opportunity for all of Division 3 (D3) Football. It has attracted the best football players D3 has to offer for the past 10 years, boasting rosters that are consistently comprised of 64% All-Americans, All-Region and All-Conference players from all over the Country.

PLAYER SELECTION PROCESS

This event is by invite only. The D3 Selection Committee undergoes a rigorous 18-month long scouting process that concludes around mid-September, about 8 weeks from the event. Players are selected through the compiling and sorting of player data; including by not limited to:

- Coaches nominations

- Player's FAF Profile data

- NCAA stat leader boards Peer nominations

- Film review

- Live scouting

After the culmination of this process, individual invite letters are sent directly to the player's head coach. Only a few invites are sent per position and are filled by a first-registered basis. If a position cannot be filled by one of the first three invites sent, then the Selections Committee moves down its list and will send another couple invites until the position is filled. After approximately 40 players per-team are registered, they are placed on either Team NORTH or Team SOUTH based on their geographical location.
