What stands out to me about the list, is the lack of Southern teams. No Tennessee, Oklahoma, teams? And very few teams from Georgia, Louisiana, and Alabama ? That is sad. What is up with that? Alot of Midwest and Northeast teams though..

[JerrysKids]

WOW. the only Cracker team to earn a berth so far is Thornburg.

[Ripper01]

We (Louisiana Rippers01) have asked the PGF board for an invitation to attend PGF this summer. Guess we will see what happens. Hopefully we can make the trip.

Why don't you head over to Atlanta for the May 30-June 1st Qualifier. 2 berths and very few teams. Invites are overrated

And this happened again over the weekend...in AZ and Sacramento

Well I hope the invite is offered to your team Jeremy. They are clearly one of the teams IMO that should have been invited a long time ago. I am sure your coaching peers here in So Cal wil make sure your team gets the invite if asked by the PGF board.

What is up with the Georgia Impact Organization receiving 2 invites? Both teams are very good and some of the top teams in their age group. But does PGF really want to go against their policy? You don't want to open up a Pandora's box


Invitations to the PGF National Championship” may” be extended to teams in all the divisions. These invitations are extended by the PGF BOARD. It should also be noted that per PGF Board policy, only one team per organization in each age division can receive an invitation. If one team from an organization has a returning berth, no other team from that organization is eligible for an Invitation.

I did what you could have done - asked PGF about it. Their response was 3 teams qualified at the Turf Wars event in AL and were mistakenly listed on the invited list. They have corrected their website.

I highly recommend anyone with a question or issue regarding PGF send a message to jmo. Bret is a really good guy, extremely approachable and very responsive. It's a more productive way to go about it than posting on here.

[juandoe]

Looks like the Louisiana Rippers have been invited to attend PGF
