Shea Nations picks!

This weekend at the Chattahoochee Major in Columbus, GA will have 1 major team and 2 AA teams, 5 A, 4 B teams and 1 C team. The tournament will begin on Saturday morning at 8 am with the play-in games then immediately following with the first-round games. SmashItSports/Newbreed/TDB/RF/BD/T3 is the #1 overall seed based on Conference points and the favorite. The other teams looking to upset the #1 seed and favorite are: Sports Reach/Worth/CT/Grizzy and S & E/FRIENDLYS TRANS/WORSHAM. On a side note: Smash It Sports can only gain 4 points if they win the tournament so will they play their starters and risk injury?

The Chattahoochee Major Predictions: The "Final Four" starts at 12:30 pm which should be Sports Reach versus S & E/FRIENDLYS TRANS/WORSHAM and Nightmare versus Westpoint. Immediately following the "Final Four" is the undefeated game and should be Sports Reach versus Westpoint. In the loser’s bracket, look for teams that drop down to win their next game in the heat of Georgia with the highs expected over 90 degrees.

Shea's Final Picks for the Chattahoochee Major:
1. Sports Reach/Worth/CT/Grizzy
2. S & E/FRIENDLYS TRANS/WORSHAM
3. WestPoint Softball
4. NIGHTMARE/BENEFIT THE BADGE/MIKEN
5. SmashItSports/Newbreed/TDB/RF/BD/T3
