The 18 & Over 3.0 women are still going as I write this three 7:00 pm matches are not recorded yet, and that could affect things as two 2-1 teams are playing and both could get to 3-1 and be in the tie for a playoff spot. Right now just one 4-0 team, NorCal, and then SoCal and PNW at 3-1 appear to have spots locked up, but Intermountain in the fourth spot right now could be passed. That is tough for Intermountain as they beat PNW head-to-head but are a court back on the tie-breaker. I will update this as it finishes up.
Update: Eastern won their match 5-0 to pass Intermountain for the last spot. Caribbean could still get into a tie though.
The 18 & Over 3.0 men ended up with two 4-0 teams, Southwest and NorCal, and then a 5-way tie at 3-1 for the last two spots. Texas, Eastern, and Caribbean were all 16-4 on courts but Caribbean lost one more set than the others, so they miss out along with SoCal and MoValley who were 3 or more courts back on that tie-breaker.
The 40 & Over 4.5 women had the big tie for the weekend. Eight (!) teams were all 3-1 and only four could advance. Northern and Middle States were 13-3 on courts and got two spots, and then Intermountain and Texas were 11-5 and got the next two leaving out Mid-Atlantic (10-6), New England and MoValley (9-7 each), and Florida (6-10). Florida even being 3-1 is an accomplishment with three 2-2 "wins" and a 0-4 loss for their record! This is tough for Mid-Atlantic to miss out as they beat Intermountain head-to-head (albeit a 2-2 win) and MoValley beat Texas head-to-head (albeit 2-2 as well). Should head-to-head come first at Nationals?
The 40 & Over 4.5 men had two 4-0 teams in Eastern and Texas and then a 6-way tie for the last two spots. Southern (13-3) and Florida (12-4) were ahead of the rest on court record and took the spots. This is tough for New England at 3-1 who beat Southern head-to-head (albeit 2-2).
So there you have it.
