The final four days of the season is here, as the 16s and 17s age groups are set to compete at the USAV GJNC from June 30-July 3 in Indianapolis. Below, I make my predictions for 16 Open. It includes which teams will make it out of pool, which this year means finishing in the Top 3 because of the expanded field instead of Top 4. I then play it out with the second round of pool play, the quarterfinals, semifinals and ultimately the pick to win it with the finals.
