We have the full results from our last contest that was organized by Blake Freeman in Kansas City. Seeing how UYYC is actually two state contests combined on the same day in the same venue, it’s only fitting that we also release the Kansas and Missouri state rankings. Since state champions don’t receive a seed to Nationals this may be only for bragging rights. But for sure it’s also a great way for sponsors and companies to scout for new talent.
After seeing local players travel to multiple contests in the US and even to Worlds in China; I came up with this idea of how cool it would be to have a snapshot of the progress of our local players from the two states. So here it is, what I’m calling the NYYL State Tracker. Thanks again to all of our sponsors, parents, and competitors in 2018. We can not wait to see everyone next year in St. Louis, Missouri!
