I am sad I was unable to travel to LA to watch our local clubs compete in this weekend's Showcase. I did check in from time to time to see how the local teams and players were doing. The tournament ended today and I would like to summarize those results. For each division below, I've indicated how many teams were in that division (in parentheses next to the name of the division). I indicate what place each team finished along with their overall win-loss record for the weekend. I've added some notes about other notable results, including teams outside the Section that feature Section players, and the team that actually won the division:

15 (tie). NCVC 18-1 Blue, 7-1 record
41. Core 18 Elite, 6-3 record
49 (tie). Omni 18-1 National, 0-7 record
Note: Balboa Bay 18 Blue won this division. The records of the three local teams shown above really shows the fickle nature of this type of tournament. The Core team had a record closer to that of NCVC, but finished closer in the standings to the Omni team that didn't win a match. When you look closer at the results for NCVC, you see how close they were to finishing much higher in this tournament. The won all three of their opening pool matches, then finished in a 3-way tie for the top spot in their second round pool with a 2-1 record. However, they finished 3rd in that tie-breaker, which put them in the Silver bracket instead of Gold. They won both their matches this morning, so they only lost once the entire weekend. Despite that, I think they proved they can compete with the best 18s teams and I am optimistic for an even higher finish at AAU Nationals in a couple weeks.
