The 162 & 181 teams played at the Disney complex in the morning and I was at the Convention Center at that time, so I was unable to get any pictures of those teams today.
With so many teams here, it's going to be impossible to give details on each teams performances. Many of the teams I only saw one game of a match as I moved to another court to see our next team. So these summaries are going to be short.
The 15-1 team is in their 2nd day of play. They were at the Disney Milkhouse in the afternoon and they went 3-0 today. They are advancing nicely toward the Gold Championship Bracket. They will play again on Monday morning in the Convention Center.
16-1 is playing in a 7 team pool, 3 matches today and 3 matches on Monday. Today they went 2-1. I stopped by their house tonight and they were having the 161 Olympics, with challenges such as bananna golf and M&M straw sucking. They will be completing their Olympics over the next few days but right now Camille has a pretty commanding lead in total points.
16-2 went 3-0 in their pool today, winning it. They played some interesting lineups in their 3rd match just to see what would happen if suddenly things were out of the norm due to an injury. They are still in contention for the Gold Championship. They will play again on Monday afternoon.
16-3 went 2-1 in their pool today and placed 2nd. They are still in contention for the Gold Championship. The 16-3 team went out to dinner this evening and then walked around a while. They will play Monday afternoon at the Convention Center.
16-4's had probably the worse luck of any team we've had in this tournament. They started off the day with 9 players at full strength. By the end of the 2nd match they were down to 7 full strength players. Two of the girls, Miranda and Katie went down with minor ankle sprains. Miranda played again in the 3rd match, but Katie will be out for a bit. They still finished 1-2 which keeps them in contention for the Gold. They will play Monday afternoon at the Convention Center. After they finished play for the day they headed off to Coco Beach where they went swimming, shopping, and had dinner on the pier.
The 16-5's also went 1-2 in their pool. They will play Monday afternoon at the Convention Center. After they finished play for the day they headed off to Coco Beach where they went swimming, shopping, and had dinner.
The 17-1 team is in a 7 team pool. They played 3 matches today and will play 3 matches on Monday. Today they were 2-1, losing a match to the team from Hawaii. They will play Monday morning at the Milkhouse.
The 17-2 team won all three of their matches today and took first in pool. They will play Monday morning at the Convention Center.
The 17-3 team started off slow. They lost their first match of the day to San Gabriel in 3, but won the next two matches in 2 straight sets. They finished 2-1 on the day and in 2nd place. They will play in the morning at the convention center.
The 18-1 team played the last 3 matches of a 7 team pool today. They went 1-2 today for a combined record of 2-4 in that pool. This put them in 6th place which is below the cut to continue for the Gold Bracket. They will now be playing for top of the lower half, about 25th place. They will play again on Monday afternoon in the Convention Center.
The 18-2 team went 3-0 on their first day of play. They finished 1st in their pool. They will play at the Convention Center on Monday afternoon.
