PGF invite?

by lovethegame_ltg » Sun Feb 14, 2016 10:50 am

Does any body have an idea how PGF invite works?

Who does gets invited and who doesn't?

How transparent and fair is the process?

Not sure - but they're giving them away fast right now. Timing seems odd - as there haven't been any tournaments to validate anything just yet.

1 per "qualified" organization being handed out. Outlined in their bylaws as well. I guess they have something to prove against the all the Batbusters and Firecrackers of the world?

At large berths are given out after the qualifiers if they need teams. DD's got one last summer due to high finish at SoCal qualifier and rainout at another.

I was told by a FC coach that TR decided who would get the invite.

I wasn't aware that Rico had a say in PGF affairs.

That's mostly because I don't keep up with PGF like I used to since DD graduated last year (although technically since she never played college softball this year - long story - she is actually PGF eligible this summer as a just-turned 19 yr old).
