[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]2024 gjnc 17u final ranking (nationl division):
Va elite:  13 out of 48
Metro:     33 out of 48.

Congratulations team.[/quote]
Congrats - good finish for VA Elite. It really shows how important a little luck (i.e., seeding) and winning the right matches are to have a high finish. VA Elite went 4-5 for the tournament and Metro went 7-3, but VA Elite won the matches they needed to to get to the top half. Also, in terms of the W-L record, presumably Metro played easier teams after pool play since they were in the bottom half meaning their W-L record was against weaker teams.

Both teams were 3-2 in their initial pool but VA Elite ended up 3rd while Metro ended up 4th which dropped them to the bottom half of tournament and eliminated any chance of getting to the gold, silver, or bronze bracket.  If you look at the results of the teams from each of their pools, it would appear that Metro was in a tougher pool. The teams from VA Elite's pool that advanced to the top half finished:
[list]5th TX Performance[/list]
[list]13th A4 Volley[/list]
[list]13th VA Elite[/list]

The teams from Metro's pool that advanced to the top half finished:
[list]1st Adrenaline[/list]
[list]3rd Mintonette[/list]
[list]9th FRVBC [/list]

And not to take anything away from their accomplishment, but VA Elite's instagram post on this result was funny. It seems to be missing several important details that would make it actually true. "CONGRATULATIONS to our 17s for placing 13th in the country and being the HIGHEST FINISHING CHRVA TEAM at USAV Nationals." They finished 13th in the 17 National division meaning the entire Open division of 36 teams were in a higher division so I don't think that saying they were 13th in the country without any further description is correct. Also, the Paramount 16s team finished 5th in the 16 National division and the Paramount 17s finished 5th in the 17 American division and 5th sure seems higher than 13th to me. It would be accurate to say VAE 17s was the highest finishing CHRVA 17s team in the 17 National division though.
