No, no it really is.
This years US Nats has the distinction of being the largest tournament we’ve ever had in this hemisphere in terms of total sites being represented (8 different sites making up 6 teams). It also marks the 3rd time that the southern hemisphere will be represented at a US nationals – the 1st time with a full 6 person team [2002 had 3 southern hemisphere players, 2004 had 5]. Given the best the northern hemisphere has ever done as far as representation in the southern hemisphere was 2 people in 2001, we really are due to repay the favor with some sort of more complete team.
Best of luck to all.
