The agonizing wait that ran through the weekend is finally over for teams that were in the running for one of the two 18 Open at-large bids.

The winners are Excel 18 National Red and W Revolution 18 Premier. With as many as eight top candidates, the at-large process was never going to be an easy one this year. It was only magnified by the fact just two bids became available throughout the qualifying season. One opened up early on, in January at the MLK 18s qualifier in Kansas City. Only two bids went out there with less than 16 teams in the field.
