The stories the ladders don’t tell

Computed straight from the 254 decided games: the roads the champions took, the finals that came down to a goal, how the goals and the margins fell, the shootouts, and the close ones.

The roads to the titles

All 4 champions never lost a game.

A champion plays 5 to 6 games from the first pool game to the final. Nobody beat a champion all weekend.

The six highest-scoring champions, by goals a game; record, then goals for and against over the whole road.

How the goals fell

The close ones

27 games decided by one goal.

The clubs

35 clubs entered 88 teams. Squads roll up to their club by name (a club’s A, B, Blue and Black are one club), so this counts every title a club’s squads won, the finals they lost and the third places they took. Most titles in the top column first.

Every placement

Where everyone finished, division by division. Elsewhere the places are the ones the sheet’s placement games settle: the winner of the game labeled 1st is first, its loser second, and so on down; a run of places a round robin settles is ranked by record in that group, and says so.

About the US Club Championships

The US Club Championships are USA Water Polo's championship for girls' club teams, four age groups from 12U to 18U, played June 26–28, 2026 at pools across Riverside and Orange County, from Temescal Canyon High School in Lake Elsinore to Fullerton College.

Pool play seeds the placement games. The three older age groups ended in a final labeled 1st; the 12U title was settled by a three-team round robin among the pool winners.

Eggbeater mirrored USA Water Polo's published schedule and results into the app through the weekend, so spectators could follow every game as the scores were posted. USA Water Polo did not run the event on Eggbeater; this page is built from the snapshot of that mirror.

Fine print

  • Built from a snapshot of the mirror taken 2026-10-11 (the organizer’s sheet as last read on October 11, 2026): 258 schedule rows in 4 divisions, 255 with a score. Three rows have no published score and decide nothing here. The sheet’s cells are read, never re-derived: a feeder cell (“W#131”, “winner of game 14”) is read back to the team the game produced; the sheet’s own spellings stay.
  • Scores: a decimal on the sheet is a shootout, the whole part the regulation score and the fraction the tally, so 9.3 against 9.2 is a 9–9 game won 3–2 in the shootout. A shootout counts as a tie in the margins, not a one-goal game. 10 games read that way.
  • Clubs: a squad rolls up to its club by dropping trailing squad letters, numbers, colors and Boys/Girls from its name, so Newport Beach Blue and Newport Beach White are one club; a sheet that spells a club two ways counts it twice.
  • The mirror raised 2 draw warnings where a feeder cell’s claim and the pool results disagree (a “1st B” that the pool table does not support). The sheet’s cell wins here, as it did in the app.
  • One cell names no team the sheet lists (16U Girls: L#12); that game decides nothing here.
  • In the app the sheet was URAMF2. Its 10U Co-Ed division was played the weekend before (June 20–21) and the mirror hid it, so this page carries the four girls' divisions the sheet served.
  • Three games have no published score: 12U game G1023 (Chawp v Diablo) and 14U game G1041 (Clovis v Rose Bowl), both marked as shootouts with one side blank, and 16U game 12 (SD Shores Black v the winner of game 3). One 16U cell names only a feeder (L#12) and no team; that game decides nothing here.
  • The sheet's later rounds name teams by shorter names than its team list (Patriot for Patriot Navy, Chawp for Chawp White); they are read as the one listed team that starts that way.
  • Played Friday, June 26 to Sunday, June 28, 3 days of games.
