Defending champs. Never been seeded higher than #5. It will be interesting if they can perform under the additional pressure. Are they the real deal or just a one hit wonder? |

Return for their 18th Tournament. Missed 2007 Tournament due to Richard's work taking him to Italy. Have won 9 of 12 games at the #3 seed including winning the 1993 Tournament. Only 4 time champions. With two wins this year will reach 50 career Tournament wins. Always a threat to take it all! |

Currently shares with Sally & Phyllis the highest active winning percentage (.696) of any team that has participated in at least four Tournaments. Has highest power rating (5.67) leading Sally-Phyllis by .05. Has been champion or runner up in six of their nine Tournaments. Only downside in this Tournament is being seeded 4th as they have an 0-2 record at that seed in the 2004 Tournament. We expect them to still be playing at the end of the Tournament. |

5th Seed - ties their lowest seeding ever in 1998 when they ran the table posting an 8-1 record to win their third Tournament . Retired 1999-2003. Came out of retirement in 2004 and have only managed a 5-6 record since. Finished 3rd in 2006. Have placed at least 3rd in 10 of their 13 Tournaments. Never count this team out at anytime. |

Despite unimpressive record (13-24) in their twelve year Tournament career, Luke and Chad have finished fourth in two of the last three Tournaments compiling a respectable 7-6 record. Lost ten of their first eleven Tournament games. 6th seed ties their best from 2006. Making up for lost time in a hurry and expect them to contend again in 2008. |

Have a 4-2 career record as #8 seed. Have placed three times in sixteen year career (4th in 96, 3rd in 03, and 2nd in 00). Have a 7-9 record over the last three Tournaments. Played most games (68) without a championship. Tampa Bay Bucs had the same issue with having never run a kickoff back in 31 seasons until this past season so maybe this is their turn to win it all. |

Together for their 19th Tournament. They rank near the top in ever statistical category and won the championship in 1999. Have also finished third five times and fourth twice. Have never been seeded at #9 but have been seeded #10 back in 1991 and 1993. Have only managed a 1-6 record in last three Tournaments and we expect them to rebound and possibly place but not win the Tournament. |

Back for Tournament #5. Ties highest seeding mark set in last year and they were 0-2. James will have to carry this team and pretend he is catching snapper on the Anna Maria Pier for this team to do well. |

One of two new teams in 2008 but both players have some playing experience. Paula has played in two Tournaments (2004 & 2007 with Kent) posting two impressive wins over a #1 and #4 seed. Meiling has played in three Tournaments (91, 98, & 03) with a big win over #3 Shelly & Beth in 1991 playing with Dick. This team has some potential but needs some time to play together. |

Brian makes his return to the Tournament after playing in the 1st annual Tournament in 1988. Sierra is the only new player in the Tournament. We are excited to have them playing with us this year! |
