The Professional Division (CEVO-P) is our most prestigious division and consists of only the top sixteen teams in North America. Teams are selected for this division based on our first season's performance (top 6) and victories in the Professional Placement Tournament (top 10).

The Professional Placement Tournament consists of 24 teams in a double elimination format, with the top 10 advancing to the Professional Division. The 14 teams that do not qualify for the Professional Division will play in the Amateur Division.

The Professional Placement Tournament is utilized so as to remove subjective opinions and any influence of people from the selection process. Teams for CEVO-P qualify exclusively based on their proven performance against other top caliber teams.
