Schedule is out. Nobody from Pool A (USA/Canada/Puerto Rico) will be eliminated in pool play as there are quarter finals. Only 4th place from Pool B will be eliminated (not that it matters, Pool B will be DR/Mexico at 1 or 2.

BEWARE that NORCECA has changed times in the past, such as giving the host a later slot. (i.e if Mexico was #2B they could possibly get the later time slot, even though it's not scheduled that way now)

Also, if you're new, Rain Delays are NEVER out of the question in these events. We got to see Peru/Dominican Republic play one night until 3AM local. How fun!

No Brenda Castillo as well. 

Brenda is the only one who usually takes off non-major events. She’s missed a few Pan Am Cups/VNL’s/World Grand Prix/etc.

Brayelin is/was not healthy. She played the VNL just to get some reps before Olympics, and they only played Brayelin half the time in a must win match against Japan. If DR is going to have success in 2022 World Champs, which they will qualify for regardless, she needs to recover.

Unfortunately, Gaila’s still recovering too, but not nearly as bad as Brayelin. Brayelin’s been hurting since Superliga.

It will be fun to see some of the younger faces.

Mexico seriously has to be thrilled. They have a shot to make the WCH’s.

Imagine the scenes if we (NORCECA) get USA, DR, PR, CAN and MEX all qualified lol (its possible)
