Stanford is seeded #4 in the MPSF Water Polo tournament. Only the winner of the tourney is sure to get in the NCAA tournament and Stanford would have a lot of challenges to win. But it is at Stanford's pool. (Yes, usually at least 2 go from MPSF, but I think they've snubbed Stanford when it finished 2nd in the tourney after a weak season as this has been.)
#4 Stanford plays the winner of the 5/6 match on Friday at 2:45PM.
If Stanford wins (which is likely, but not given), Stanford would play #1 Cal at 9:30AM Saturday. MAYBE a lot of Big Game tailgaters will come practice their cheering. (That means that a lot of weenies may be there.)
Lose and the 3rd game is for 3rd at 1PM Sunday.
Win and the 1st place game is at 2:45PM Sunday. With a chance for the NCAA tournament.
Unlike normal WP games, tournament games requires purchasing tickets. If you're going to make two games, buy the tourney pass. I'd suggest buying ahead as this may sell out.
Also, although there will be live video, that usually requires a fee as well.
Weather should be sunny and in the low 60s (probably mid 50s on Saturday morning). (The sun will still be to the SE, so if you want to sit in the sun, sit closer to the 50m pools - otherwise the sun reflects off the surface. Bring polarizing sun glasses. The shady side won't need the sunglasses (they may help), but may need an extra layer of warmth.)
Vaccine status will be checked (I think).
And remember, parking will be tight and maybe some distance away. Games only take about an hour, so don't be late. Maybe commuting by train or whatever is best.
