We say goodbye to

Jonathan Penn at Vassar - retired from coaching

Wells - Closed
Fontbonne - Closing
Northland - likely to close
Double Contacts - rule changed
Rankings committees and regional rankings - replaced by a computer
And coming our way is...
-The Pairwise/NCAA Power Index system which replaces rankings and selection committees, and the rest. Not sure anyone really knows how this is all going to work out at this point but for a primer go to. d3vbwest.wordpress.com/2024/01/13/pairwise/
-A return to Salem, Va for the championships, which in December means we get to partake in the Gingerbread Festival!
