Re: Missouri Open - July 6th, 2013
I keep getting drawn to this thread...
Half my mind says - "Go play, you'll be free. Why not?"
The other half says - "What are you crazy? You haven't played since 1996. In Kentucky. On a team that finished 4th at Governor's Cup. You were a sub." So I may decide to help staff.

that's actually how the sets have always looked when NAQT took over.

Teams played in 2 groups of 6, and were then seeded into 3 brackets of 4 for the afternoon.
Washington B (3/4 7th graders!) beat Washington A 320-200 in the last game, which amounted to a final. Washington C beat Sullivan for 3rd place.
