With fifteen events yet to go before invitations are sent out, there are sure to be changes to the teams, especially as some of the 13-15 players turn 16. In that case, the points which they have earned in the 13-15 events will be added to the total of their 16-18 points. It will be fun to watch the points list as the competition to make the Junior Florida Cup roster heats up!
