Cali Jam 2011 - Oct 29-30, 2011 @ Camp Pendleton
. So that I'm clear. That means that your D4 squads, which play RaceTo-2, would have to bump up to D3 to play RaceTo-4 in order to get more games in the prelims. As follows, the same would apply to your D3 squads, instead of playing RaceTo-4, they would have to play D2 RaceTo-5 in order to get more games in the Prelims. Reason being that all divisions play four (4) matches in the prelims. The only additional possible games would be in the play-offs, but that would depend on the divisional limits, which only currently lend themselves to extending the possible teams making the playoffs for Division 3, which is extended for Cal Jam 2011.
