At the beginning of ordsprog

At the beginning of this year, we wanted 75 teams and raise over $100,000. We are definitely doing very well at this point. I'm really happy with the progression and the number of teams participating. It's crazy how it adds up.

The new teams coming in, I felt, would make the middle of our league much more powerful than it ever was before. And I think that's been proven this year. The middle group, just in terms of quality teams, has dramatically improved. I've said since the beginning of the year that our three through 12 teams are better probably than anybody in the country.

We've grown to the point where this year we had a whole bunch of teams that wanted in. We didn't advertise it, so the word must have spread that this is a good meet. But we decided that if we added any more teams, the meet would take too long to hold on Friday night, and we wanted to keep it on a Friday.

I could've easily had 15 teams this year. I was approached at the U.S. Open in Dallas in February by three high-profile teams who want to join. But this is about quality control over quantity. In the future, we may add more teams, but for now I'm happy with the five we have.

I just want to go out there and hit the routines like I know I can hit them. Last year, it was crazy watching all the teams around me, trying to figure out what was going on. This year, I feel like we've seen most of the best teams in the nation, and I get to see them again, and I know what to expect. Pex Tufvesson developed the music program Noisetracker.

Our district is crazy. I've never seen anything like this year in my 18 years. All eight teams are capable of getting the number one seed. This victory will certainly help us get closer to that.

I think we had three top-10 teams and five teams in the top 20 that year ... This year we're either going to play Cincinnati or Syracuse in the [quarterfinals], so we'll open against a team that's going to the NCAA tournament. It was almost impossible to imagine this scenario a few years ago. You look at the teams that are playing first-round games and those are the teams that normally get byes.

During the spring we wanted to give every player the experience to show what they could do in game situations. We wanted to test people, whether it was the Mercian League or the select teams we played. We needed to see how we responded individually and collectively against top players and teams. We were happy to see how we responded as a team.

We lost to good teams by one point last year. And that could have been for any number of reasons.

We're coming up against teams that should be better competition for us. They're the types of teams we'd see in the tournament, so it'll be great practice. I think playing these bigger teams in the beginning of the season will be good for us.

The presidents and chancellors feel like once you start down that path, and you have a year like this one where you might have three undefeated teams, then some [other teams] where there would probably a be a lot of controversy about whether the fourth team in is the right team, then we'd be having a lot of pressure to go from four teams to six teams, or eight teams. Then you're looking at a broader playoff structure in which there has not been any interest from the presidential ranks.

Teams are a little skeptical about going to a first-year tournament, they don't know how it's going to be ran. Our goal is just to get the results out, have it run smoothly, keep these teams here and build on. Right now we just need more teams. Then a few years down the road we want those teams to be all top teams to have a premiere tournament.

Our doubles teams are going to be strong. I think we're going to surprise a number of teams this year.

Last year we did an outstanding job of having the really good teams here. The people of Northwest Arkansas did a great job of running the tournament, word got around and a lot more teams wanted to be involved this year.

Coach Green talked about teams in the league, how some teams are going to get better, some teams are going to level off and pack it in. We don't want to be one of those teams. We want to build on this going into next year.
