wait til i see the draw.

Always a great tournament. Good luck to all SA teams

when is it on?

26-27-28 jan

still waiting on fixture ......

Fixture isn't being released on the website until 3 or so days beforehand to avoid confusion when there are fixture changes.

Fixtures have already been sent out to clubs. Contact your club if you are desperate for the fixture

Well if Melbourne's summer continues on as is, it's gonna be dry and HOT HOT HOT in most stadiums ...

Team from USA is from Texas and a good unit - pity all their games are on the eltham side

Last season ranked no. 7 high school nationally - ? What team they have sent. Refs will have to manage travel interpretations and time outs being called by players USA style

that would be a certain category of school

there will have to be an equal balance - yes they will have to play to how we call the game - but a bit of give and take - his is a huge PR win to get a team of this calibre over here - i know the frustration in years gone by of no 24 sec clock at nunawading - so habit will mean dont be surprised if the inbounding playing asks the ref for a time out or a little foot shuffle pre dribble usa style.

sorry inbounding player

Agreed

Agreed

What age group are they playing in?? 18s??

18As - but on the Eltham side

Fixtures are now out.

Thoughts on 16A and 18A boys and girls?

Some good representation in A grade from Dandenong, Melbourne and Nunawading having a couple 2 teams competing up there. Any that can contend?

16A girls : Dandenong 2, Melbourne 2, Sandringham 2, Hawthorn 2

16A boys : Bulleen 2, Dandenong 2, Nunawading 2

18A girls : Melbourne 2, Dandenong 2, Nunawading 2

18A boys : Melbourne 2

18 Boys A Grade is looking quite interesting! Melbourne 2 has come out with 2 wins and 1 loss whilst Melb 1 with 1 win, 1 loss and a draw with Sturt. Flower Mounds has yet to face defeat but only overcame DV by 5. Waverley, Flower Mound, Keilor and Eltham have yet to drop a game. Thoughts on this?

Dandenong

Melbourn 18 Boys (1) finish 4th and miss finals - Melbourne 18 Boys (2) finish second???

Can't work that one out - is it the Pool groupings or have Melbourne picked wrong players in the (1) team!

Any thoughts on why?

Melbourne 2 also just missed finals by percentage to McKinnon whom Melb 2 defeated 41-37. Melbourne 1 had their Australian players minus their 7 footer so no mistake with player selection. Did anyone see Melb 1 and 2 play?

They were the 2nd team but played in A grade.

Prob one of the best non invite tournaments in Australia. Not sure why you think it's crap....
