Does that "Bob's Waterbeds" team have any '98s on it, by any chance??

Where?

ASA has listed it - 7/20-26 in Oklahoma City (same week and location as 18 Gold).

Word is qualifying for 16G will be same/similar to 18G - limited berths (~64) that are mainly awarded at regional and territorial qualifiers.

Have qualifiers been decided? Is it for next summer? Most teams have already paid for tournies for next summer.

Any tourneys listed yet?

Just in......8U World Championships will be held in Helsinki, Finland.....all about the money, pretty disgusting

My understanding is that the 18 Gold and 16 Gold qualifiers will be posted tonight or tomorrow.

Amazing it's taken ASA 3-4 years to start to respond to PGF. If ASA is looking to host a true national championship, that ship has already sailed.

Too late or not too late, I see it as a step in the right direction for the ASA. It is just another opportunity for the girls, and if it's a "good" opportunity, and the girls "win" then I'm all for it. I'm a capitalist, and if this is a case where competition breeds ingenuity, then so be it.

Maybe for your region and/or territory, but not across the board.

I checked with our JO Travel Commisioner and he said there will be 48 berths, but he didn't have the allocation to regions and territories. It is going to be similar to the way the 64 18G berths are allocated and awarded.

I will check with our JO again later today - but that was her feeling yesterday
