2018 National Champions: 40 & Over 3.5 men Mid-Atlantic

The National Champion was decided for the 40 & Over 3.5 men today in Arlington, TX, and when all was said and done, Mid-Atlantic won it all.

It was tight to get into the semis with just one 4-0 team and a 6-way tie at 3-1, and the semis found Intermountain beating Middle States 3-2 with two matches decided by match tie-breaks, and Mid-Atlantic beating Eastern 5-0 with five set or match tie-breaks being played.  The final was similarly close but Mid-Atlantic won 3-2 with one match decided in a match tie-break.

All four semifinalists were in my prediction and the finalists were my #2 and #3 teams to make the semis.

Congratulations to Mid-Atlantic on the win!
