NARCh Finals 24U Round Robin and Playoff Matchups

Narch 2024 24u division teams 

This year NARCh had 14 teams in the the 24u division which would split up into a Platinum and Gold Bracket. Which has the top 4 teams moving into Platinum and the bottom 6 teams falling to Gold. Because of that, your first game is a playoff game. There is no room for error with these divisions that split because one point can be the difference in a Platinum to Gold and Gold to eliminated. 

Round Robin

I wanted to touch on two games that were absolute must watched (if you have Livebarn). The first one that stands out is the only tie is Round Robin, Skittles vs Pure Maple. With the Skits having a few Canadians on their team, this was staged for a great matchup. In Winter Nationals (Pro) the Skits played Pure Maple in a Quarter Final Playoff game and it came down to one goal where the Skits just edged out Pure Maple. Well I guess history cant repeat itself because Pure Maple was able to find that one goal to tie things up against the Skits in the 24U Division. This was also huge for playoff implications. Depending on the score, Pure Maple could have jumped up into the Platinum Division and in turn would have sent the Skittles into Gold. 

The second game was another Bracket swing game between the Tour OC Blades and the Pama Labeda Golden Knights. This was both teams last Round-Robin game which meant playoffs started NOW! 7:30 pm, in Irvine is unlike anything else in roller, which made this game (in my opinion) the best game in Round-Robin. Two California teams battled for that chance to represent their organization in the coveted 24U Platinum Division. It was the Pama Labeda Golden Knights who came out with a 4-3 win earning themselves a bid to the Plat Division.
