Here is what the final 16 teams did on the 1st day and what power pool they came out. All 8 in Pool A made it, 5 from B and 3 from C. That breakdown is probably what we would expect. 1st day results had some correlation to how the team finished, but not a lot of correlation. 1. Legacy - (2-1) Pool A 2. TIV - (2-1) Pool A 3. KIVA - (0-3) Pool A 3. TK - (3-0) Pool A 5. Top Select - (3-0) Pool B 5. Sunshine - (2-1) Pool B 5. Northern Lights - (1-2) Pool A 5. TAV - (3-0) Pool A 9. K2 - (3-0) Pool B 9. Municiana - (0-3) Pool A 9. Arizona Storm - (1-2) Pool A 9. Club V - (1-2) Pool C 9. Revolution - (2-1) Pool C 9. WAVE - (1-2) Pool C 9. Elevation - (2-1) Pool B 9. Momentous - (1-2) Pool B What age group is that? It’s not this years 18’s

Momentous - (1-2) Pool B Pool A traditionally competes against the “Play-in” teams (those that didn’t get seeded in a power pool) in the round of 32 and B competes against C in that round. So often it is 8 from pool A and 8 combined from Pools B & C in the top 16. That is unless a “Play-in” team either upsets a Pool A team or both a Pool B & C team which happened in some of the younger divisions. Power pool placement matters quite a bit on final finish. There have been teams 0-3 from Pool A on day one that end up in the finals. You are set up well if you are in a Power Pool (especially A), not so much if you are in a play-in pool. But the idea of this tournament is great matches from the first whistle and exposure for the athletes to lots of coaches and it does provide both of those things. Yes - getting in Pool A is a big advantage relative to Pool B or C. But how a team does in Pool A on the 1st day - isn't a big deal (I don't think). Those teams with an 'easy' or 'hard' draw on day 1, just doesn't impact how the tournament plays out like most tournament structures. Agree - no other tournament is as good the 1st day as the last day as this tournament (despite the 1st day not really mattering).

Tstreet has a rough draw. I thought that last year but they ended up pulling it off. But I will call it and say that TAV will be victorious in the NIT 17s.

Did I read this correctly - the top 8 teams in PV rankings are all playing in the tournament (and all in Power Pool A)? That is going to be a very fun couple of courts to be watching on Saturday afternoon!
I am really looking forward to see the new and improved CoJrs team with Starck (Penn State) along with seeing how much Carter Booth is improving. Also looking forward to seeing NE Premier.
Is Minnesota Lights with K.Orr in this tournament? I would have to think she would make any team a contender to win?

You could make an argument for the Open division of GJNCs, but this one also includes all of the top JVDA clubs (except Sports Performance). Sadly, no live streaming this year. Organizers said they talked to multiple vendors but none could guarantee the quality they required.

Hometown cooking for that MAVS day 1 draw? Geesh, favoritism for Kansas City seems to be going around these days 😏 As I understand (due to geography) the 1st day Pool matchups - TAV, Houston Skyline, and MAVS were not going to play each other the 1st day. COAST was open to play any of the other 7 teams. Mintonette, Munciana, Legacy, and Sky High weren't going to play each other. Given that set of rules - those last 4 teams were highly likely to have a brutal 1st day. Well I get the geography rule, but Kansas City isn’t very close to those Texas teams. How is Illinois and Indiana any further from Kansas City than Dallas and Houston?
