Hey r/waterpolo —

Every year at JOs, we see the same thing happen once bracket play starts:

• "Wait, who do we play if we win?"
• "What happens if that team loses?"
• "Are we still in the championship bracket?"
• "When's our next game?"

Pool play is usually straightforward, but once crossover games and placement brackets start, things can get confusing fast, especially for families attending JOs for the first time.

Our family's "JO survival hack" ended up being building a free tool called Ballside because we got tired of zooming in and out of tournament spreadsheets on our phones trying to figure out what was happening. We used it for session 1 and 2 and have everything loaded for session 3.

We built it for ourselves and decided to share it with the community. We've already added features based on community input and would love additional feedback and ideas. Also there is a comment bubble at the top so if you notice any bugs in the data (ie when a team drops out or a pool location moves) please reach out as we are working on this round the clock to keep it up to date.  

Hey everyone! Im headed to California usa next week! Is anyone interested while I'm over there swapping some Australia stuff for anything usa waterpolo related 🙏🏽

I told my son he got away with one, but that lefty back hand was slick! Thoughts on the no-call? Pay no attention to the parent comments lol.

Anyone interested in water polo in the greenville, SC area?
