The ISC Ranking Committee is releasing the 2024 pre-season rankings. Defending ISC World Tournament Champions New York Gremlins open the season ranked #1 with 18 points, with Hill United Chiefs and Bear Creek Express taking #2 and #3 spots separated from each other by only 7 points. Rounding out the top 5 are NorthEast Drillers & Circle Tap Dukes. 

Our Rankers see a highly competitive ISC World Tournament with a lot of teams capable of big wins throughout the season. Hopefully they are correct and we will see not just a competitive World Tournament but a compelling ISC season on the North American tournament circuit.
