The pools that are already up can be found here.. www.triplecrownvolleyball.com/power-pools.htmlI'm sure PrepVolleyball paid something to be able to release those pools early because it is all about money.. For PV and TC.. Not saying that as a bad thing. Just reality. I could be wrong - but I think Prepvolleyball helps in the seeding for this tournament, or at least they take a peek at their rankings. I can confirm this is true.

Based on the pools that have come out, it looks like a very heavy weight has been given to PV Rankings, a medium weight given to results from the previous year's NIT, and a small weight given to the survey they sent to coaches last week. The survey probably plays a much bigger part for the non-power pools.

This whole see Power Pool A for each age group on the paid prepvolleyball site v. all the remaining Power Pool's for the same division on the Triple Crown website is f*ing stupid.

More importantly, they had a 5-3 record which is not great. I suspected they got their seed based on their finish of last year, combined with a 2nd place qualifier finish this year.

MATCHES: TAV v Mintonette/Sky High/Munciana Houston Skyline v Legacy/Mintonette/Sky High Coast v Munciana/Legacy/Mintonette Mintonette v TAV/Houston Skyline/Coast MAVS v Sky High/Munciana/Legacy Munciana v Coast/MAVS/TAV Legacy v Houston Skyline/Coast/MAVS Sky High v MAVS/TAV/Houston Skyline I'll predict the following results in 18 open Power Pool A: TAV: 2-1 (If no Leilah smith, I think they drop the first match to Mintonette) Houston Skyline: 3-0 Coast: 2-1 (drop 1st match to Munciana....passing woes) Mintonette: 1-2 (this is just a brutal draw, especially if TAV has Leilah Smith back...too tired to put up a fight against a physical Houston Skyline and a Coast team that has settled down the passing from the earlier matches) MAVS: 2-1 (weakest draw, just drops 1 against Munciana) Munciana 2-1 (catches Coast on a bad passing morning and takes out MAVS next before running into too much TAV firepower) Legacy: 0-3 Sky High: 0-3 I watched some of Legacy and sky High at the Chicago tournament a few weeks ago (including the match between the two of them), I think both probably lack the firepower to take out teams in their draw. should be a fun day 1!

Can someone in the know for this tournament explain something to me- the first match up in the 18's, 17's and 16's A Power Pools are literally repeats of the prior year USAV Open championships (TAV and Minontette played in the 17 open final, T Street and TAV played in the 16 open final, and Storm and Skyline played in the 15 open final). Was this purposeful? And by purposeful I mean it's the first match all of these teams will be playing in their respective age groups.

The way Prepvolleyball described it is that there is a rematch of the USAV final and a rematch of the Triple Crown Final if the teams in those finals are in Pool A.

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. Is Luper back? I didn’t see her at tour of texas

I may be a little biased but how in the world is A5 South not in the Power Pools ? They beat HJVElite and KC Power at NL.
