20/U and National Rosters for Quals

Below are the rosters for qualifying for 20’s and Open Nationals. 
The qualifying tournament will be held Fri-Sun, June 25-27.  The location will change every day but we do know Saturday games will be at Stanford.  Fri and Sun most likely will be in Marin and/or East Bay. 

There are 5 teams trying to qualify in each of the tournaments so the format is a round robin for each tournament (4 games in each the 20/u & Nationals quals – if you are on both rosters you get to play 8 games).   Our zone is allocated one spot but we will get more spaces and the final number will be announced soon. 

The A team for both tournaments is pre-qualified because the top 4 teams from last year receive automatic bids and we won both championships last year.  Therefore just the B team will compete in quals.  However, Saturday we will need players on the A team to help run the desk at Stanford, and be there to cheer on your teammates.

Athletes are continually being evaluated and no matter how many teams we qualify there may be changes to the rosters.  Final rosters will be announced by July 9th. 

As a reminder, the actual National Championships are: 20/u July 27-29 & Nationals July 30-Aug 1
