I guess I am unclear about your question. Do you mean age division to sign up in the tournaments?
If you are 15, you can sign up to play in 16 and under or 18 and under age group. Probably should play 16 and under first.

Yeah exactly the age division, thank you

Unless you are a world beater, I'd sign up for the 16 and unders.

Ok thanks, I was just wondering because I never understood how it worked, like if your 15 do you play in 16's or 14's, but I get it now

The more tournaments you play, the better sense you'll acquire of what division to sign up for the next time. Whatever happens, don't get discouraged if you get rocked by your opponent...it happens to everyone.
