The first weekend of the Club Series is now complete as teams from around the country earned spots at Regionals with their performance at qualifying Sectionals tournaments. A few tournaments were postponed due to weather conditions, including Hurricane Irma and wildfires in the west.
Here’s a look at the teams that qualified. There were very few surprises this year, as most top teams did not compete. Links to all of the Score Reporter pages can be found on USA Ultimate’s website.
