Looks like everybody. What a field!
Is this a record participation? Well over 300 teams
Who can tell me anything about pool G?
Looks nasty

Yeah that pool looks tough. Dallas Patriots Stout is loaded for sure. They have won and gone deep in lots of PG events. Several other top clubs in there too.
Son is in Pool H. 643 team is loaded in that one.
Here is what I can share about Pool G. DM me if you'd like more.
1. US Elite 17u is NOT the same group of US Elite 2016s that went 7-0 in pool play (7 total runs allowed) in last years 16U WWBA and made it to the final 16. The vast majority of those players (all but 3 have committed to D1s) have moved to Chandler World Gold 17U, following their coach whom they all love playing for. The US Elite 17u roster is not posted yet, but I think it is called "17U" and not their traditional "2016s" for a reason - I believe they have many 2017s on that squad. I know, like and respect the organization and all it stands for...but, that team, I know, did not do well in the recent Cincy Flames tournament. They may have stocked the roster for WWBA, but that is what I know.
2. Evoshield Diamond Elite is the former Diamond Elite from Northern VA that rebranded and affiliated with Evoshield Canes organization. They will be a solid team but only have 1 commit (for what that is worth) and lost a couple of their better players from last year to other organizations. They have a couple of good arms but, to be honest, probably not enough to make a deep run.
I hope this helps.
