also with the teams that have expressed interest, and none of them being premier or top rung D1 calibre...I think parody is the word for this tourney.

A nice mix of good D3 teams to decent D1 teams + a few pops and hot weather + end of summer meaning varying levels of committment from teams means that anyone and everyone has a shot at winning it.

It's not like the Old Acbc tourney where there was us lowly Nomads potentially getting Columbus Clan or Inter in a quarterfinal game...

If BlazeArmy's boys come out they are being promoted to VMSL D1 they would probably be the on-paper favorite, but we played their mish mash group with our mish mash group and won or drew the game...so anything can happen.

I'm not sure teams would sign up for a rec division, when the tourney is really that, and nice fun party atmosphere tourney in the sunshine to wind up the summer and get ready for FVSL and VMSL seasons that kick off two weeks after.

I know one future FVSL Premier team has mentioned to me that they would like in, but I think I am going to curtail that clubs invlovment to just one team, their B side... It wouldn't be fun or fair for any of us to have to run against a fit and mandated-sober ACBC A.
