Like nationals, It’s a reasonable option for kids from non hotbed areas to attend and play in bigger tournaments that their local club wouldn’t normally attend.

They play tomorrow in NXT. Hope they do well. Kyle Harrison is a great guy and kids love him.

The social media however is FLAWLESS.

It is definitely pay to play. Don't pay = not on the tournament roster.

But the master roster (who is invited to play these events) is based on evals, and it exists.

For the CSE event the boys played in last month in CT, you can see the roster posted, ahead of time, on social media. Kids on the master roster who tried to sign up too late, were excluded from playing at the tourney.
