More than 120 teams from throughout the western states will be competing in 11 different divisions for men and women 40 years and up. This tournament will follow a five-game minimum format with a round robin style into double elimination with teams vying for a spot at the SSUSA World Masters Championship that will be taking place in Las Vegas on Sept. 22 through Oct. 8.
"We are thrilled to have so many participating teams coming from all over California, Arizona, Idaho, Colorado, New Mexico, Nevada, Oregon, Texas,Washington and even Canada," Fran Dowell, SSUSA Executive Director stated. "This tournament should bring about 2,500 players and their families to the area and we could not do it without the support of our wonderful partners at PVT."
Dowell also explained that one of the exciting aspects of the Western Nationals is the rivalry contest between Northern California and Southern California that has developed over the years. Both regions battle it out at this tournament to claim bragging rights as to who is the state champion.
