JANUARY ROUND ROBIN
On January 12-13, the NorCal Shockers are hosting a Round-Robin / Showcase in Alameda CA. It's not a huge event - 8 teams in 18Gold, and 4 in 16A. However, the quality of the field is VERY high. All 5 NorCal teams which qualified for last year's Gold nationals are participating (there actually were 6 teams qualified, but with Strikkers-Sorci disbanding, only 5 remain. And all are at the event.) Plus 3 other strong NorCal 18Gold teams, and 4 strong 16A teams.
