January Club Season Recap: CEVA Tournaments

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>CEVA hosted the second Open tournament of the season. The Open division is CEVA's most competitive division for 14U to 18U, with all age groups vying to make it into the top 32 at the start of the season. Once the top 32 have been selected, no other teams can move into Open, and no teams will fall out of Open. This model allows top 15s and 16s teams to compete against top 17s and 18s teams.&nbsp; If a 14s team can make it into the Open division, they can also compete against older and tougher competition.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>NPJ Forefront could not attend this past tournament, so they dropped into flight #2 and out of the top 8.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>There was significant movement in the top 8 going into the third Open tournament, scheduled for March 8th.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The top 8 teams in the CEVA Open are now:&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list {"ordered":true} --> <ol class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>NPJ Salem 16-1 National </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>NPJ Salem 17-1 National</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Athena 17-1 Gold</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Athena 18-1 Gold</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>NPJ Portland 18-1 National</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Aspire NW 18-1 Empire</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>G3VB 18-1 </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Webfoot 16-1 Elite</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ol> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 18U age group, competing outside of the Open division, had their first Power League on February 1st.
