We’re almost at the start of the Mideast Qualifier (MEQ) in Indianapolis. There, 15-18s age groups will compete for another chance to qualify for USAV Nationals, as well as the coveted gold ball. Teams in the 18 Open division will have their last try to qualify before they rely on the at-large process to make their dreams come true. For many teams in the other age divisions, qualifier season is just beginning and to earn an early bid would be a gift for the rest of the season.

Below, we look at 15, 16, 17, and 18 Open and the teams who have already qualified, the ranked teams in the field, and we make predictions who will win big in Indy.
