WCJ update

[ClayK]

We're at 115 teams right now, and of course would love to have more.

The Elite teams so far include Sierra Canyon, Mater Dei, Archbishop Mitty, Clovis North, Bishop O'Dowd, Miramonte, St. Joseph Notre Dame, Oakland Tech, Heritage, Sacred Heart Cathedral and Salesian, among the better known. Kamehameha is supposedly a strong Hawaiian team that is Elite, and Cardinal Newman has indicated they will be coming.

Is Platinum at Las Positas this year....or DVC?

 

[ClayK]

Platinum will likely be at College Park, across the street from DVC (which is unavailable due to a men's tournament at that time).

Las Positas was a good site from a fan's perspective, but overall, it didn't work that well for the Jamboree. It's possible we could return there down the road, though, if we can sort some things out.

EBAL Schools on the 580/680 corridor and VC would seem sufficient for WCJ. no?

It’s hard to beat that Dublin gym.

 

[ClayK]

The real issue is whether the school/coaches/administration want to put in the time and effort to host and raise money. Hosting the WCJ isn't necessarily difficult because the tournament takes care of the bracketing, officials, etc., but it's still a lot of time and energy over Christmas vacation.

Are gyms needed for WCJ?

 

[ClayK]

We are set right now ... we're pretty sure. Las Lomas has said they're hosting but can't seem to sign the contract.

 

[northbaybbguru]

That's a darn good "elite" list. The top bracket should be great.

 

[ClayK]

Of course we have to try and balance everyone's needs so we'll see how the brackets play out. But there are going to be some very good games, it appears.

 

[becoolpt55]

Are interested in BallerTV doing your Platinum division?

 

[ClayK]

Sure ... though in the past streaming companies have wanted us to pay them to come out, which we can't do.

 

[becoolpt55]

OK

 

[becoolpt55]

I will ask them ...they tried this summer to get me to do some games....
I will let you know

 

[ClayK]

Add Antelope to the Elite mix ...

And Las Lomas completes our lineup of sites.

Can't you show them on Facebook in slightly delayed fashion?

 

[ClayK]

We're OK with showing them, most likely, but we don't want to pay people to do the streaming.
