No warm-up tosses are permitted for the tiebreaker rounds. Successive rounds of five free throws each continue until a winner emerges. There are possibilities of a "ties" between our "three" regional's in the North, Central and South, because of this our 2022 Northern State "winner's" (1st place) by age groups, 9 to 14, boys and girls need to stick around for the "tie breaker" and shoot simultaneously against the other regional "winner" to determine the 2023 California State Free Throw Champion by age groups 9 to 14, boys and girls.
