Unsigned seniors can play as long as they have not committed in writing to play for a college at any level. Unsigned prep school players are also eligible to play in the G.M.I. If a player has signed a letter of intent and you think they won’t qualify because of grades, they still can not play. The tournament management has the right to exclude any senior from playing. NO player who has attended junior college or college may play in this event.
