So this is Oregon? Well, at least Zaun can drive his van there.

Only 14 women's teams.. pretty sad. I guess it's not worth the money. They do close the sign up about a 2 weeks out and I think alot of indoor college girls have to report to campus pretty soon.
On the other hand the men's should be pretty fun to watch. Olson usually performs pretty well in front of his home state crowd. I'm going with a Crabb/Drost vs Miller/Ryan final unless the wind kicks up .. then Olson could sneak in there.

No question Crabb/Drost #1 seed but zero chance I'd put those NW boys over Kolinske/Evans, they're clear #2 team.

They beat Kolinske/Drost last year. On paper it shouldn't be that close but the wind kicks up and Olson has the crowd in his corner... I like thier chances. I'll be there so if you're right that would still be a pretty good final.

Kolinske/Evans are a consistent and low ceiling team. I don't think anyone is going to challenge Crabb/Drost, and I'd take Zaun/Roberts, Olson/Araiza over Kolinske/Evans. Don't know much about Miller/Ryan.
Is David Miller from the indoor Men's team?

Don't know much about Miller/Ryan. Is David Miller from the indoor Men's team? Ryan was playing with Brian Miller in Hermosa. I believe it was the first time either of them made it out of the qualifier. I saw them for a few minutes against Slick/Allen, but don't really recall much about their game.

Brett Ryan and Brian Miller are one of the most promising teams coming out of the PNW. Miller is the big. Ryan moved to the Seattle area from Portland. They made the main in Hermosa. Also have qualified for the main in Manhattan via the Northwest AVPNext. Tons of good things about them. It's been fun seeing them start to put it all together.
The Casey brothers have won the event previously. They could surprise a team or two.

Zaun/Roberts is a really odd pairing, clearly Eric is gonna block, guy has some decent size for a defender but that'll be interesting. Still putting decent coin on Kol/Evans to finish T3.
