The culmination of a year’s work for Chain Lightning begins Thursday morning in Sarasota, FL. The seeding and pools for the Championship are below:

We enter this year’s tournament as the #2 overall seed, Chain’s highest ever. No sneaking up on teams this year, so hopefully we’re not the team getting lulled.

The rugged opening day holds NC’s Ring of Fire, OH’s Madcow, and San Francisco’s Jam, the defending champions.
