The only thing I forgot to mention that could potentially complicate the list of teams I named is some of those teams are 3Step clubs, so they will have to attend 3Steps national championship tournament, which I believe is the same weekend as USAV GJNC. [/div][/quote] You can’t turn down open bids at a qualifier. 3 Step teams that qualified will go to Columbus or the whole club will get penalized by not being allowed to attend USA Qualifiers. Open at larges are different. You might be allowed to decline those. [/quote] I know that; I was referring to teams offered at-large positions; those are permitted to be turned down (with how expensive last minute travel plans can be, USAV knows they could never get away with mandating that teams accept an at-large invitation). With the relatively low turnout that is expected to be at 3step's end of season event, I highly doubt 3step would allow any of their clubs to accept at large positions and therefore miss their end of season tournament. The teams that already earned open bids will of course attend GJNC. |

For the 18's At-Large bids (I believe by 4/4/2023);
The USAV Events Department will announce the Teams being awarded the GJNCs At-Large Bids no later than the
second Tuesday after the last NQ. The Events Department will notify Teams awarded an At-Large Bid by email, sent to
the Coach and Club Director at the email addresses provided in the GJNCs Event registration system.

So, the 18s NQ's are done with 6 At-Large bids up for grabs. Any prognostications? Off the top of my head, here are some of the teams that I think will definitely be in consideration for the at-large spots (in no particular order): NPJ (did they earn a bid in Spokane?) Legacy 18-1 Adidas NKYVC Rockwood Thunder 18 Elite MiElite NO NAME MADFROG 18's N Green AJV These three should be in for sure… HJV 18 Elite Legacy 18-1 Adidas Madfrog 18 N Green Not so sure about the others you listed. But wouldn’t be surprised if the other three end up coming from your list as well. |

Anyone have any idea when Windy City schedule will be posted? We’ve gotten a little spoiled with schedules and seeds being posted earlier than normal this season. Hoping Windy City follows that trend!

Hoping Windy City follows that trend! My guess is you will not see it until Wed, I am sure there are teams playing this weekend that will also be in Chicago and depending on how they do it will factor into seeding. |

Exactly! If a middle is the kills leader that is one hell of a setter. Oh dear, not this. It literally takes years to de-program setters from the mindset that setting the middle is making the "good" set. Nobody said setting the middle was "Making the good set" However when we are discussing a team that won a 17 open tournament without dropping a match (and then won nationals later that year) with a middle leading them in kills, I think you can go ahead and admit that the setter was "making the good set" under these specific circumstances. |

What is the weakest USA region? Does every region get an automatic bid into the lower divisions? I know Patriot is pay and you're in, but I mean the other divisions like National, Liberty, etc.

I know Patriot is pay and you're in, but I mean the other divisions like National, Liberty, etc. Bids are done by region size at the lower levels..for example, Texas and Ohio have the largest participation numbers so those regions get two National level bids while most others get one. Think maybe top 8 regions get an extra bid and then the next level it’s allocated even lower. After the fact usav may take back a bid and give it to the strongest region that want it. |
