WCJ: One spot left

[ClayK]

We're at 159. If you're in, you've received an invoice and at least one email. If you think you're in, and you haven't gotten an invoice, you might not be.

We're stopping at 160 so if you want to play, go to

http://www.westcoastjamboree.org/page/show/3075507-2017-wcj-application

sooner rather than later.

What do the top 3 brackets look like so far?

 

[CoachDViks]

Do you know what cites will host which brackets

 

[ClayK]

First, these are the teams signed up for Elite, though things could change:

Arcata
Archbishop Mitty
Beaverton
Bishop O'Dowd
Campolindo
Cardinal Newman
Carondelet
Chaminade
Dimond
Dublin
Edison (Stockton)
Elk Grove
Folsom*
Heritage
Independence (Bakersfield)
Kinkaid
McClatchy
Miramonte
Monterey Trail
Narbonne
Oakland Tech
Pleasant Valley
Prairie WA
Sacramento
Sacred Heart Cathedral
Salesian
San Joaquin Memorial
South San Francisco
St. Francis (Sacramento)
St. Mary's (Berkeley)
Vanden
West Campus
Whitney

There are always complexities in making brackets -- teams from the same league, teams that don't want to play each other, etc. -- but go ahead and give it a shot. Ideas are always welcome.

As for the sites and brackets, still up in the air. The host schools will play at their sites, but that's as far as it goes right now. The host schools:

Alhambra
Amador Valley
Castro Valley
Clayton Valley
College Park
Cornerstone Christian
Dublin
Heritage
Jesse Bethel
Monte Vista
St. Patrick St. Vincent
Ygnacio Valley

Not familiar with Prairie,Kinkaid, Dimond,Beaverton, or Indepedence so maybe one of these are in the top 8. Here's a quick shot at the top bracket.
Mitty vs Folsom
O'Dowd vs McClatchy
Carondelet vs Sac High
Salesian vs Miramonte

Pleasant Valley v West Campus
St. Mary's (Berkeley) V Heritage

3rd 8

Dublin V Elk Grove
Edison V Narbonne
Independence V Sacret Heart
S.J Memorial V Prairie


Clay Dublin and Heritage seem like the only host schools that are in Elite Brackets do you know how that will affect the Brackets?

Cn would be on my bubble, I think Campo with 2 D1 seniors would go before them. It'll be interesting how it plays out.

Generally, we try to give the host schools a good shot to win their first game, but we're not going to do something crazy to make that happen. In the Elite brackets, we have even less margin, as the teams are all pretty good (at least), but the hosts do deserve some consideration.

Still one spot left ...
