That's odd because the seeding that I have from the tourney director is the exact same except the USA and Canada are switched.

Australia Juniors Open Team will be playing the 05/06 Amherst Hurricanes (without their 4 Worlds Players, who will in Camp USA) on Thursday, August 10. We will be playing them in the evening, at ARHS, under the lights and we would love to get a big crowd there to welcome the Aussies and informally kick off WJUC in western Massachusetts. Word has it that the Aussie girls will also be playing a local ARHS girls team, but I don't know much about that yet.
NUTC has just finished their first week, and if you would like to read anything about it, go to ultimatetalk.com and look for George Cooke's blog. From my point of view, it was a great week. Campers came from all over the East and West Coasts, with a healthy dose of Chicago players also. And we also got our first camper from Tennessee!

Yep, that's what I have for the girls division.

I am pretty sure they must made a mistake when posting the boys division, because a. the schedule that the TD e-mailed has the US seeded first and b. there would be no reason to seed the US second as they are the defending champions.

hope this helps. and yeah, from what I can tell, Kyle is right in that USA (open) is seeded first according to this schedule

Rumor has it that Israel's handler, Yosi Kakau (a Hopkins HUrt former captain), has dislocated his left arm.
