News Update- November 12, 2009

As you may know ASA has passed a number of proposals to eliminate college players from 18U Gold (not 18A nor 18B), move the dates of Gold to a week sooner (same time as the other ASA Nationals from 10U to 18U), Move the Gold Nationals out of OKC for two years and return it there every third year and made various other changes. While we feel that it is good these changes were made it in no way changes anything as to our plans to run our tournament as previously stated.

It is possible some the coaches of some teams may change their minds but we have some other teams waiting to be invited and we will have a complete list of qualifiers and a registration process to be announced soon.

We will have more information as to the exact dates and locations of the qualifying tournaments soon.

A couple more of teams we previously invited have accepted the invitations. Our first 16 invitations have been offered and some teams have accepted an invitation to the 16U Division Tournament.

News Update- September 17, 2009

The Premier National Championship will comprise 72 teams for the HS Division and 48 teams for the 16U Division. We have decided not to include a 14U Division at least for this year. Teams that have played in 14U during their season and are moving to 16U are welcome to play. We will invite 48 teams for the HS Division, 41 have accepted invitations as of now. We intend to leave the other 7 berths open for the time being as we observe teams this Fall and in the event other teams we know to be of consistent quality ask to be invited. All of the California teams that will be invited have accepted invitations except one team. If that team chooses not to attend one more California team will be invited.

There will be 6 qualifying tournaments each offering 4 berths each for the HS Division, most of these qualifiers will include a 16U Division. The 16U Division will offer at least 4 berths at each qualifying tournament.

There will be HS Division/16U Qualifiers in Southern California, Daniel Runge-Indiana, Jim Barsalona-New Jersey, Texas, Florida or Georgia, the site of the sixth tournament to be decided.

There will also be a 16U only Qualifier in Chicago-Ed Serdar.

The format for the qualifying tournament will include a double-elimination bracket to decide the berths. There may or may not be pool games based on the preference of the local area tournament director, if there are pool games they will not be used in any manner to influence the elimination bracket which will be populated by a draw done with the teams presence.

The format for the National Championship will be 3 pool games and double-elimination, the pool games are not for seeding into the bracket.

This page will be updated every week on Thursday.
