Entering the hotel Westin, I was greeted with the loud and boisterous laughter I have come to recognize as footy related.

Yep, this was going to be an unforgettable weekend.

The USAFL National Tournament Committee is pleased to announce this year's National Tournament pools. As you can imagine, this is a difficult task given the geographical disparity of the teams. 2002 is the first year that we have a third division due to the growth of the tournament to 24 teams. This compounded the committee's difficult task.
