ROSEMONT – Office of the Director of Officiating (and Records): The Dodgeball Club at Virginia Commonwealth University will play host for Nationals 2018 in Richmond, Virginia on April 20-22, 2018.
This was a preferential election. Each Member Team submitted a ballot ranking the candidates by preference. 16 votes dictated a quorum for our current total of 32 teams. The votes were transferred in a instant runoff format until the most preferred candidate won a majority. 30 ballots were received, giving a threshold to win as 16 votes.
VCU was the most preferred candidate, winning in the third round of counting by just two votes (16 to JMU’s 14). Akron (9 votes) was defeated in the second round, and PSU/NIU (3, 2 votes) were defeated in the first round.
| Candidate | 1st | 2nd | 3rd | 4th | 5th |
| Akron | 6 | 5 | 6 | 8 | 5 |
| NIU | 3 | 2 | 4 | 4 | 15 |
| VCU [winner] | 8 | 10 | 6 | 2 | 4 |
| JMU | 11 | 5 | 6 | 6 | 2 |
| PSU | 2 | 8 | 8 | 9 | 2 |

So i can just go ahead and pencil JMU and Towson for The War 2 now? Congrats Hunter and the rest of VCU!
More than likely, you can pencil in VCU as well.
Towson will 100% be at the War
We have our East Coast Nationals. It’s time to have it head West in 2019.
Yep, we can do that. That’s more than fair.
