The 2014 GSWS is upon us and it’s now time for the predictions for each division to be released to get us all revved up and ready to go for the week of competition.  Note that this information is based on expected pool play results that then lead into a seed that lends to a higher percentage of winning the tournament.  This is not an exact science because none of us really know what team will be brought to the tournament, however these choices were made based on information regarding each team’s regular season performance, tournament performance and past GSWS performance where applicable.

GSWS Champion:     Knoxville Cyclones

With a 63 team D Division tournament it makes it VERY hard to select a winner.  However, the DD doesn’t have any problem putting the Cyclones of Knoxville out front and center as the team to beat in this year’s D Division tournament.  Obviously, it is difficult to say what teams will experience unfortunate circumstances or bad match ups in double elimination, but we believe that the Knoxville Cyclones if no problems occur has the best opportunity to win it all.
