State Cup - Spring 2007
West Side Scoreboard - 16/17/18
TNT and Capital Area are generally considered to be Mid-State Clubs
State Cup is the tournament that allows you to play at least 3 games
against the top teams in the State. It is a measuring stick as to
where your team actually fits in. This is the only tournament that
the teams from the Detroit area actually take seriously. There are
no guest players allowed. It allows you to see other the teams in
your area that take the game seriously.
In the 16's, of 32 teams accepted, 7 were from the West side and 1 advanced.
In the 17's, of 28 teams accepted, 5 were from the West side and 2 advanced.
In the 18's, of 28 teams accepted, 4 were from the West side and 2 advanced.
_______________________________________________________________________
16 teams from the West side of the State entered State Cup and 5
advanced to the quarterfinals. The interesting statistic is that at
the two older ages 4 out of 9 teams that entered advance to the
quarterfinals and 4 of the remaining teams ended Pool play with 2
victories indicating a strong showing.

Club Scorecard:
________________________________________________________________________
Many good teams did not advance. Some because of a bad bounce.
Some because of a bad draw which means simply that another Pool in the
same age group was significantly weaker. Some because they had one bad game and
couldn't afford to. It is all a great experience. More teams
should enter this yearly tournament and stretch their wings a little.
Great job.
