Super-Qualifier February!!
We are very close to dotting the i's and crossing the t's on our venues for Super-Qualifier February! I feel confident enough to release the venue and date information!
Click here to see the SuperQualifier: Cities of Star Wars venues and dates. League QTs and Non-League QTs will advance a total of 96 teams to SuperQualifier February. This means about half of teams as each event will advance to SQs. There will be four 24-team events.
Note about our SQ's. Because we are having four SQs that are geographically spread out we hope that will better serve our community. However, there is a likelihood that even with geographic distribution, some teams will be traveling to their event with a planned stay over because of distance. Please plan your fund raising accordingly. Once a team is assigned the team will have the opportunity to simply accept or decline their SQ slot. All events will have 24 teams. The SQs will each advance 9 teams plus one host team to the State Championship for a total of 40 teams.
