To clarify the field closure, due to much higher demand than expected, we had to institute a wait list for the tournament; we will accept teams from the wait list as we confirm more moderators and scorekeepers. We do hope to accomodate all interested teams, but cannot assuredly do so at this time.

If you are interested in adding your team to the wait list, please simply register online following the instructions above.

The waitlist now stands:
1) Fairfax B
2) Stuyvesant

For those keeping track @ home:

* Cosby is the new school that's opened in Chesterfield County, Va. I thought they were grades 9/10 only this year??
* Grafton has been at VHSL states a few times -- they are a Group AA school somewhere around Williamsburg-Newport News.
* Lebanon are a Group A school down in Southwestern Virginia (assuming this is Lebanon VA). They've come in third and fourth quite a bit in Region C, where Radford and Eastern Montgomery are the dominant teams.
* Northeast -- where is that school exactly?

I'm too lazy to read the exact rules, but according to the new PACE qualifying guidelines, do any of the small school division teams qualify?

[NRScout98]

I believe Dr. Chuck mentioned in the opening meeting that no, they do not.
