Any chances that some of the 3rd place teams may play PLIII next season? I read some discussion about this earlier but couldn't fine the post.



If you're asking about specific situations, I don't know. The general info, last I knew for sure, is:

If a finalist chooses to not take the spot, I believe the spot is automatically offered to the 3d place team. Also, in some age groups, teams can petition to get in the league as long as they finished 3d. Depending on the age group and the number of teams from the other states, these can be successful. (I happen to know of one team that won the league as a "petition" team!). Decisions on petitions aren't made until the meeting at Regionals in late June.
