Sorcerer enters the final stretch this week before leaving for Oklahoma City to compete in the 2008 ASA Gold Nationals.
Gold Nationals is unique among ASA JO National tournaments in that only 64 teams are permitted entry. In 2008, all of these teams were required to qualify by placing very high in a regional, sector, or national qualifying tournament.
Sorcerer will travel to Oklahoma City next Saturday. Opening ceremonies will be held Sunday afternoon at the ASA Hall of Fame Stadium Field. Games will be held at either the ASA Hall of Fame Complex or the Mustang Wild Horse Park.
Sorcerer will begin pool play on Monday with two games.
Double elimination
competition begins on Tuesday, and continues through Sunday. (Note: Unlike most tournaments, pool play has no bearing on elimination play.)
| Type | Date | Time | Opponent | Field |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pool | Mon, Aug 4 | 8:00 AM | Georgia Blitz | Hall of Fame, Stadium |
| Pool | Mon, Aug 4 | 4:30 PM | Texas Travelers Gold (Marks) | Wild Horse Park Field #5 |
| Elimination | Tue, Aug 5 | 11:00 AM | Georgia Fire 18 Gold | Hall of Fame, Combat Field |
The team fortunate enough to win 6 consecutive games will face the only
team remaining with only a single loss at 10 AM on Sunday, August 10.
If that team wins its 7th game, it will be named the ASA 18 Gold
Champion. Otherwise, a tie-breaking game will be played at Noon on
Sunday.
Scores will be updated online throughout the tournament.
This year marks Sorcerer’s 5th consecutive appearance at ASA Gold Nationals, having qualified every year since winning consecutive 18A National Championships.
