This article is in decent shape, but it needs more work before it becomes a Good Article.
- Is it well written?
- A. The prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct:
- In the Qualifying teams section, it would be best to add the year the tournament was announced. Same section, second paragraph, it would be best to replace "hold" with "held".
- B. It complies with the manual of style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation:
- In the lead, it would be best to link "May 10" once, per here. It would be best to link players names in the article, but make sure they don't get repeated and if they have an article too. If no article is available for that player, then that's fine.

- 1A: I have added the tournament year in the qualifying teams section piping 2008 in sports (I think this is what you meant.) Also have changed hold-> held as stated.
- 1B: I have "delinked" the second occurrence of "May 10" in the lead. At this time, all players with articles have been linked. Since some of these are still college athletes: WP:Athlete applies. (Of course, a case could be made for general notability outside of this standard)
- Any other changes or suggestions, please let me know.
