My point being that a team like Sudden Impact (TX) won their berth in the loser's bracket so there were at least two teams that they beat out in the loser's bracket that lost out on a chance to qualify because that team accepted the berth, then bailed.

The lists will be completed by tomorrow evening when the rosters are frozen. There should be a few more teams added - just waiting on confirmation.

How do you figure they lost out on a chance to qualify? They had a chance to qualify, and lost.

So there was no rain out for the SJ Sting/Strike Zone game. Strike Zone was awarded a berth even though they were eliminated. Extra berths are awarded as PGF sees fit.
Central Cal Dirt Dogs received a berth even though they were eliminated before Sorcerer Blue and LW Firecrackers at the So Cal Qualifier. Furthermore, at the Nor Cal Qualifier, it looks like LW Firecrackers put the Dirt Dogs in the loser’s bracket and then beat them again to eliminate them.
Chasing a berth and not getting it is disappointing for any team. However, I can only imagine how disheartening it is for the young ladies on these more deserving teams to know that they were passed over for a team that they beat out in the order of finish, better yet, a team that they personally eliminated in a qualifier.
The same demon rears its ugly head: extra berths are awarded as PGF sees fit. Gary Haning once said that PGF is a “better way of doing things”. How so in this case? Does PGF have an explanation for these young ladies or is this the accepted norm for years to come?
