Berths- Returning & Invites-2013

[respectthegame]

Are there any updates on national and regional qualifiers? Nothing has been updated in any region except the midwest.

So it looks like in the 18U division, they are holding separate qualifying tournaments for Premier and Platinum divisions. Why not hold one tournament and top x number finishers qualify for Premier and next y qualifiers qualify for Platinum? If you qualify early for Premier you are done with qualifiers. If you qualify early for Platinum, you can continue attempting to qualify Premier without sacrificing your Platinum spot unless you qualify Premier. If you get a second Platinum spot, just skip over to the next team.

Now THAT is a great post. I actually thought that was the way they would do it, but, oh well.

THAT is the way it works. If you qualify for Platinum, you can go ahead and buy your plane tickets immediately and still enter qualifiers and try and earn a Premier berth. You do not lose your Platinum berth.

HA, you ROCK!!!

GREAT!!! If you look at the qualifiers page on the Premier website, it appears that it is a separate tournament to enter. At least that is the way I perceived it!

It is. But, you can enter the platinum tournament and if you qualify you can go and enter the Premier.

I'm sure most people have an idea where their teams are.

Although, the more I think about it. It may be nice to do the top x get premier and the next y get platinum.

Good thing I don't have to worry about this anymore.

But what about a team that has just missed qualifying for Premier each year. THey may not "know where they are/ THey are right on the cusp of qualifying. One tournament entry and place of finish distributes to both Premier and platinum gives you mor opportunity to qualify for Premier.

The 18U tournament qualifiers are all the same as there is no separate 18 Platinum or 18 Premier tourneys. If there are 3 berths to be awarded for Premier, then teams that finish top 3 earn Premier berth and teams that finish 4-6 are awarded a berth to Platinum. If there are only two berths to Premier, then teams that finish 3-4 will earn the two to Platinum
