The 2026 GSF 7v7 Tournament Series has reached the midway point, and the High School Boys Varsity division has delivered one of the most competitive off-seasons in recent memory. Through five major tournaments, multiple programs have claimed championships, while others have built their case through consistency and deep playoff runs.
Leading the way is DT, whose discipline, preparation, and execution continue to set the standard across the GSF circuit.
Coach Sal Delgado summed it up best following their most recent championship win:
“These boys came down and executed. They did their job and handled everything the right way. I’m proud of them.”
DT has separated itself with two tournament championships and consistent deep runs, establishing itself as the team to beat heading into the second half of the season.

Championship Race Still Wide Open
Despite DT’s position at the top, the race remains highly competitive. Several programs have proven capable of winning on any given weekend:
- High Intensity captured the Silicon Valley Classic and added a runner-up finish earlier in the season.
- GSF secured the Super Team XII Championship and continues to be a dangerous playoff team.
- GBGB set the tone early with a Super Team XI title and remains consistent in bracket play.
- RSF Black has been the most consistent non-champion, finishing runner-up in back-to-back tournaments.
With multiple championship-caliber teams, the Varsity division remains wide open heading into the final stretch.

How the Rankings Are Determined
The GSF Tournament Series rankings are based on a cumulative points system across all tournaments:
- Championship Winner: 100 points
- Runner-Up: 50 points
- Semifinalist: 30 points
- Quarterfinalist: 20 points
- Playoff Win: 10 points
Seeding Adjustment
Each tournament includes a seeding factor that rewards teams who outperform their seed. Lower-seeded teams that make deep runs gain additional value, while higher-seeded teams are expected to perform and receive minimal adjustments.
Consistency Factor
Teams that consistently reach the Final Four or Championship rounds accumulate more value over time, ensuring the rankings reflect sustained performance—not just one strong tournament.
