Hmmmm. I don't know enough about Amercan sports to know why it's called the US Open..... but it's not at all "open"
Each regional championship event was invited to send it's top "champion" to the US Open in Dayton. If an event was ALSO invited to send it's top Champion to the World competition in Atlanta, then that event may have sent one team to Atlanta, and one to Dayton.
So, you can only "advance" to the US Open.
It was run a lot like "Worlds" with a 3 day format that included 2 days of competition (including an alliance match).
