*Note all ballots were cast by coaches*
Group A - The Favorite Top Contenders – Going to ASA Nationals or Premier to win it all. Have the ability to survive a hard bracket and still win it all.
Group B+ - The Bracket Dependent Contenders – Can win it all but it will take a bit of bracket luck. Not a Top Contender because they are susceptible to B+, B & C+ teams but they can beat an A team.
Group B - The Spoilers – Don’t have enough to win it all but can send an A or B+ team home or to the losers bracket. Playing on Sunday (ASA & PGF Nationals) and a solid top ten finish are the ultimate goal.
Group C+ - Very good teams that will need to play their A game to make it to Sunday (ASA & PGF Nationals). No C+ team has made the final eight at Nationals. These teams will cause some pain for a couple of B+ or B teams but not enough to make the final 4. Playing with the final 12 is the goal! C+ teams attending Western Nationals or TCS World Series are the favorites!
Group C - Very good teams that are a bit too hot and cold to be a C+ team (i.e., inconsistent). Playing on Saturday night is the main goal for these teams at ASA Nationals. Those attending Western Nationals will be labeled a top Contender!
