The Midnight Hour

Ah, a World Cup back in East Asia.  Lovely.  Just like 2002, most knockout stage matches in Australia will kickoff in the 3-4 am PDT range.  We save a little for the New Zealand knockout matches that will be 11pm-1am PDT.

As you can see at the top, you can now submit your entry for our 3rd HWCI Women's World Cup Pool now.  The official email will come less than two weeks before the 12:01 am PDT Thursday, July 20th deadline, around July 6th but you don't have to wait until then.  

The tourney is expanding to 32 teams (nice to use the same templates in back-to-back tournaments for once) with 8 teams making the women's tourney for the first time and Denmark returning for the first time since 2007.

We hope to top the 44 entries from 2019.  We had a record 109 entries for 2022 men's pool and we usually get 1/2 the numbers for the women's pool.  Can the USA three-peat?  Can't wait to find out.
