TEAM HIGHLIGHT & STARTING LINE: BLUE "Led by Kobe and Maxine opening up lanes, Cameron will be able to drive through any team. And with Catherine and Ana, two of the best wing chasers in the west scene right now, as pass options, Blue will undoubtedly be putting the quaffle through the hoop." – Blue GM
TEAM HIGHLIGHT & STARTING LINE: GRAY "With several players that have served in leadership, the team will have the smarts to control the pace and avoid costly penalties/errors. There are bucket-getters and drive-stoppers deep into the quaffle lines, including the West's best scorer/point defender (Belton) and best non-binary/female chaser (Dixon). The wing chasing line is filled with players who aren't used to being uncovered, and they'll capitalize on this team. Smith and Dill lead a quartet of quick, intelligent and control-focused beaters. Ultimately, the pace of this team will make it difficult to be put out of range, and no one will be better at securing in-range wins (Belton was 4-1 in collegiate SWIM games in 2019, and has nine sub-minute catches in the past two years)." – Gray GM
TEAM HIGHLIGHT & STARTING LINE: TEAL "With TJ keeping and Aidan Phipps at point, supported by great wing chasers Dara and Sammi, our scoring capabilities are endless. Aidan and TJ can drive hard but can also pass just as well to two of the best female chasers in the West. On defense, TJ has great blocking capabilities; Aidan is lethal at point while both Dara and Sammi consistently make stops. For beating, I decided to start a double male beater set with years of experience. Anthony is quite an aggressive beater while Phillip has speed and is used to playing with and against aggressive male beaters. After Anthony tires from hitting, Phillip can beat with Ava who is his usual beater partner at UCLA. Overall for my team, I chose experienced players and younger athletic players to work together. This blend of experience and athleticism will speak for itself on the pitch." – Teal GM
