OK, so can someone please refresh my old guy memory? If the tournament is listed as August 20-22, does that mean the Quali will be on Thursday the 19th, with a 3 day main draw to follow, or will the Quali be on Friday the 20th with 2 days of main draw after that?
Trying to book flights and hotels - thanks much for the help!

There is a 2 day qualifier. Main Draw is 24.
Qualifier is Wed and Thursday.
There will be 8 teams missing from MBO due to King of The Court and the back to back FIVB events in Czech Republic.

Thanks very much, stevieofmb and southbay11!
I'd also like to publicly apologize for saying some nasty things to southbay11, namely about my impression that Traci was leaving Delaney in the lurch and making a mistake by not playing with her in some actual tournaments. I've been reading about what he is doing for the good of the sport in trying to set up some funding mechanisms to help our players, etc., and anyone who is volunteering his time and energy to do that has got to be a good dude. My sincere apologies.

Southbay11 has a wife on the AVP Tour and therefore is privy to information I'm not but I'm not aware of MB ever having a two day qualifier. |

I believe they are doing this because in previous years matches were going on at 6-7pm and the winners had to play first thing the next morning. It was pretty hectic with all the teams. This makes a lot of sense. 16 ATL, 16 CHI and 24 MB. The top seeded Q teams don’t take the court until Thursday. I’m just entertained that Tri and Trevor will be the 8th seed or something like that and my wife may be in the Q after finishing 5, 7, 7 in the champions cup. I guess she gets to warm up. |

I can't remember, did the Champions Cup add points to player totals? For some reason I thought it was in one of the announcements that it wouldn't add to player totals last year. |

Champions cup finishes didn’t count to their points.

Champions cup finishes didn’t count to their points. I think the intent was not to punish anyone who opted out, but I’m not sure anyone did other than Falyn. Seems a bit silly now not to count those points. |

Do the AVP NEXT events points count towards the AVP MD bracket? Yes but I'm sure the points they are getting from the AVPNext tournaments would be equivalent to qualifier position points with the exception of maybe the crossover teams. It also counts as a tournemnt so I would think some of the main draw players playing the next tournaments are risk losing a finish from one of the AVP main draws but could be wrong. |

Not sure if Tri Bourne was joking or not but he mentioned playing in some AVP Next events too.

So say you thought so little of the AVP NEXT tourneys and considered them a waste of time because of how easy it would be to win, you should probably reconsider and start entering them in lieu of complaining about possibly being in the Q? |
