2017 USTA League Pacific Northwest 18 & over Sectionals results - Seattle area teams dominate and are headed to Nationals

After my update on the PNW 18+ Sectionals through two days, matches are complete and it is time to see who won and punched their ticket to Nationals.  This time we'll go highest level to lowest.

NTRP Level	Winner	Runner-up	Comments
5.0+ M	NWW-Robinswood	NWW-Mercer Island	Won 2-1, had won 2-1 at local playoffs
5.0+ W	NWW-Bellevue TA	NO-Sunset AC	Won flight with 3-0 record
4.5 M	SWW-Sprinker	NWW-Nordstrum	Won 3-2, one court an upset in a MTB
4.5 W	NWW-Seattle TC	EW-Hood River	Won 3-2, three courts went to MTBs, NWW won two of them
4.0 M	NWW-Nguyen	NO-Lake Oswego	Won 4-1
4.0 W	NO-Portland TC	SO-Eugene S&TC	Won 3-2, four(!) went to MTBs
3.5 M	NWW-Mill Creek	NWW-Sand Point	Won 3-2, had won local playoffs 3-2, won all the doubles
3.5 W	NWW-Bellevue Club	NO-Sunset AC	Won 3-2
3.0 M	NWW-Robinswood	NO-Tualitin Hills	Won 3-2, won all the doubles
3.0 W	NWW-Sand Point	NO-Multnomah	Won 4-1
2.5 M	NWW-Forest Crest	NWW-Eastside TC	Won flight 2-1
2.5 W	NWW-Robinswood	NWW-Amy Yee	Won 3-0

Key:
EW - Eastern Washington
NWW - Northwest Washington, i.e. Seattle
NO - Northern Oregon, i.e. Portland
SO - Southern Oregon
SWW - Southwest Washington

With the 2.5 men still TBD, but both teams from Seattle, the totals by district are:

• Seattle - 10
• Portland - 1
• Southwest Washington - 1

Seattle does have the most players generally and so has the largest pool of players to pull from and so does often lead the way at Sectionals, and in fact, last year at 18+ Sectionals Seattle won 11 of 12, so this year is actually a "down" year I guess.

But it was close, with 7 of the 10 played finals being 3-2 or 2-1 wins, so just one court difference could have changed a bunch of those results.

Well done to all those that played, and good luck to those headed to Nationals!
