Pool setup below. With the variance of levels and the many boosts still available for some teams, I collaborated with some very experienced Casual minds to come up with the following pools. There were several factors that went into trying and balancing the pools including, current EL, Team history, and expected increases from upcoming boosts. I have had others review these and they look pretty well balanced and I am looking forward to a fun and successful tournament. Please do not schedule your first games until day 1 to enable the younger teams to get their boosts in.
