USAU has released its final rankings for Men’s, Women’s, and Mixed club teams, determining Nationals bids for each region.
Mixed Division
It was dramatic down to the final moments of the Pro Championships at both the top and bottom of the bid picture. On the one end, Ann Arbor Hybrid might have taken the #1 seed with a win in the final, but Austin Disco Club had other plans and won 15-13. ADC might have earned a top seed, as they will enter the postseason as #4. New York XIST closed the regular season at #1.
On the other end, Boston Sprocket started their Sunday with a universe point loss to shame. in quarterfinals, setting them on the path through consolation. Eventually, they lined up across from their neighbors, Slow, needing a good result to keep their strength bid. Despite incentives to lose, Slow battled and Sprocket defeated them 15-14 for the second time in two days. However, the damage was done: Sprocket relented their bid, with Salt Lake City Sego (and the Northwest) the beneficiary.
The final count put the Southwest at four bids, the only region in any division to hit that mark. With the exception of the one-bid North Central and Southeast, every other mixed division Regionals will send two teams to Nationals.
Men’s Division
Revolver comfortably repeated as the regular season champion, though they – and the rest of the top 5 – were inactive this past weekend. Instead, it was Truck Stop who won Pro Champs and moved up to #8.
Meanwhile, a bid changed hands, but within the same region: Montreal Mephisto hobbled out of Pro Champs bid-less after going 1-5. Their final game against Doublewide was a prime opportunity for them to pull themselves back above the cutline, but Doublewide won 15-14 and secured the South Central’s second bid. But fortunately for Mephisto, Portland Red Tide was positioned to pick up the fumble for the Northeast, keeping the region at a division-leading three bids, tied with the Northwest. The North Central and Southwest finished the year as the lone one-bid regions.
Women’s Division
Like in the men’s division, the WUCC champion also won the USA Ultimate regular season, with Washington DC Scandal earning the top spot, though it was narrowly achieved over San Francisco Fury. It has been a sparkling run for Scandal, who won the final by an eye-popping 12 goals and conceded just 13 goals across three games in the Pro Champs bracket.
Their fellow Mid-Atlantic club, Pittsburgh Parcha, turned in an impressive 3-3 performance, with all three losses coming by small margins to top 10 ranked teams. That was enough for them to climb over Vancouver Traffic to ensnare the final strength bid. With Flight having a banner year and Scandal established as favorites to win the title, a third bid gives Parcha lots more breathing room.
