Since we weren't allowed to participate in the 9u Atl Super NIT, I can give my best guess as to who will be in the top 4:
Ga Team Raiders (Favorite) Copperheads Carolina Mustangs (Dark Horse) East Cobb Braves
Followed closely by: PTC Mudcats, MGBA The Future, Gamers Elite and RBI Rangers (any one of these teams could also be in the championship game it wil depend on luck of the draw as to who will play who and pithng depth)
My opinion is based on playing many of these teams last season, their off season roster changes and strength of schedule in the Fall and or last year. I anticipate some very good baseball and look forward to seeing how the Ga teams stack up against some teams from neighboring states with great records. Too bad the Yard Dog and ECB Longhorn Teams aren't in the tourny.
With 24 teams & potentially 4-5 games to make it to the championship, whoever has the depth & total package offensively...early nod to the Raiders, Gamers, Braves & WFDD.
Who is MGBA the Future? Is that Grissolm's team? I think I just answered my own question!
The Super NIT is played at various parks in Henry County. Go to the USSSA web site and search tournaments / leagues. Search by age / class Georgia and Super NIT. To entery click on the dollar amount (based by age and class). You will need your USSSA login and password. Then follow the steps. I might have messed up by entering in the open class versus AA because I got classed as an Open team.
PCMudcats - MGBA the Furture is coached by the Yard Dog Red's coach from two years ago. The team seems to be a mixture of 2010 Atlanta Blue Jays, Welcome All Philies and a few more. Most of the team has at least two years of tournament ball under belt and the coach is familiar with what it takes to compete at a high level. Your also correct that they are also a Grissolm team.
