This will serve as the official discussion thread for this event. Speculate about who will qualify, talk about the players to watch, hash out seeding, recap the results, and share links to photos/videos from the event.

Reckon seems to be a top team in the south. They basically put together a who's who of masters players between Nashville and Atlanta (including Knoxville, Chattanooga, and others). They were fun to watch at Terminus, Shawn, and Sectionals.

Best of luck to all teams.

Seedings guess, take 1:
1. Surly - won it last year and not any weaker, with all respect to Ron K, thanks to addition of Tim Murray from SubZ, Rook from BAT, and Sam R/Hummer from Boston, among others
2. Boneyard - #2 last year...either here or swap with 3?
3. Wheelchair - the best team...on paper, anyway?
4. DoG - if this really is a combo team with GLUM, seems like either here or maybe 5, 6 at lowest?
5. Real Huck - 4th last year, added some ex-Machine and Madcow guys, should be stronger...(full disclosure - the team I play on)
6. Reckon - the south didn't do very well last year, but this team has some buzz...maybe swap with 7?
7. Beyonders - 6th last year
8. Chalant - new team, but they played well against Wheelchair at Regionals and knocked off Figjam, last year's #5 finisher...could maybe go up a spot or 2?
9. Chesapeaked - 7th last year
10. Old Style - yeah, I know they're the 3rd bid from the Central, but they've been to natties before and they always give us (RH) a very tough time...maybe even deserve 9th
11. No Country - new team, 2nd team from NE finished 11th last year
12. Tejas - new team, 2nd team from South finished 12th last year
well, that's my 2 cents...thoughts?

Reckon is a team of a lot of former Chain, Deliverance, Tanasi, etc. players from the South. I think they could potentially turn some heads at Nationals.

There are some discrepancies with start times of 3rd round on Thursday. PDFs all show late games starting at 4:00, score reporter shows them starting at 3:30 in masters and shows all 3rd round games starting at 3:00 for womens (no late games)
