Keep in mind, there will be a qualifier Thursday that will produce an additional 8 teams per gender, bringing the totals back to 32 teams, double elimination.

The seeding for each tournament is determined by a team’s best 4 out of their 5 most recent finishes. So, my last five finishes are Manhattan Beach ‘08 – 9th place, Panama City Beach – 17th, Riverside -5th, San Diego – 9th, Houston – 3rd. I would drop Panama City Beach’s finish and count the other four. Each finish is worth a pre-set point value based on a 750 point system. For example, 1st place equals 375 points per player, 2nd place = 320 points, 3rd place = 270 points, 5th place = 225 points, 7th place = 185 points, 9th place = 150 points, and so on… My four finishes of 9th, 9th, 5th and 3rd would therefore = 795 points. Add those points to Anthony’s and you’ve got our total heading into Huntington Beach, enough to apparently award us with a top 8 seed. Here’s hoping we can take advantage…

Before I sign off for the moment, I wanted to make sure you know how excited I am to write about Houston. We had a tremendous tournament, despite getting smacked down twice by Phil and Todd, and I’d love to tell you all about it; however, I am exhausted. I had to change my flight to accommodate us actually winning on Sunday and my punishment was a 4 AM wake-up call in order to catch my crack of dawn flight on United. Going to sleep for a minute, maybe two. Full recap when I wake.
