Fall ASA Eastern National Qualifiers?

[default]

We are trying to put together our fall schedule. I checked a few tournaments on the 2008 OFC that were described as qualifiers for the Eastern Nationals tournament, but the links to the sites were broken, making me think that perhaps the tournament was not going forward. From posts on the ASA Tournaments section of OFC, I know that the Lady Liberty are putting on an Eastern Nationals tournament in September, but I don't see anything else. I'd appreciate the benefit of the knowledge of OFCers regarding any other tournaments that will qualify for ASA Easterns.

I'd also like to know if a team who wins a Eastern Nationals berth in a 12U fall tournament can use that berth to enter the Eastern Nationals at the next higher age group. For example, our girls are all still eligible to play 12 U this fall but will have to move up to 14U this summer. Could we enter a 12U fall qualifier tournament and, if we win, enter ASA Eastern Nationals next summer at the 14U age?

Thanks.

As far as I know, most teams play in the fall in the age group they will play in the following summer. Not sure of the official rule for the Easterns, but I've rarely seen teams wait until summer to move up, although technically maybe they can (but to me, the season starts in the fall).

I'm pretty sure you have to play a National event at the age you qualified, so should be playing 14u in the fall.
