If you are trying to make the Mid Atlantic look stronger than it is by making the point that former club member FCV has no National Championships you are not disproving the overall point. |

It speaks to the strength of the top ten super clubs in this nation vs the weakness of a particular conference, age group, or division. |

Do you know what year it even is? What Super Clubs are currently in the Mid Atlantic? |

Super clubs in the nation. Try to keep up. |

And non of them are in the Mid Atlantic. So your point is, the Mid Atlantic is a strong conference because it doesn't have strong/super clubs? |

I think at the end of the day if you compare the national event points per game of local GDA teams vs local area ECNL teams, you will find that they are comparable.
Neither are stellar however, which is unsurprising because of the dilution here. I don't think you can say that one is weak without including the other. |

You are a hater with an agenda. Plain and simple. How many times are you going to try and manipulate the narrative. No poster every posted that the MA was a powerhouse. It's not. They are like any other division. They have good and bad teams. Chew on this since you like stats: There was/will be 6 National Championships. MA teams were in 2 of the 6 finals. That's 33.33 percent. There are 8 ECNL divisions. MA teams make up 12 percent of all ECNL teams. You do the math. A couple of MA team under performed in my opinion. BRYC 03 (Richmond 04) were a couple of them. If they had advanced, MA would have represented 50 percent of the finals. Again, that's from Division that represents 12 percent of the total. By the way, some division are allotted more advancment teams then others. |

The North East gets 5 spots in nationals because they have 15 teams. The Mid Atlantic gets 4 spots for 11 teams. I'm not sure that allowing the Mid Atlantic's 5th best team in would increase the number of Mid Atlantic teams reaching the Quarter Finals. The conference representation is fair as is and takes in the overall size of the Conference. But getting in is not the issue, it is ADVANCING once in that matters. And the Mid Atlantic just isn't getting it done. 3 ECNL Conferences represented half of the quarter finals. That demonstrates the strength of those conferences. ALL Conferences have pretty similar qualification numbers to represent getting into nationals so the even representation is there. The Mid Atlantic as a whole is not reaching the Quarter Finals with great regularity. A strong conference with either many strong clubs or at least one super club would be able to reach the quarters more regularly. PDA as a club has more teams in the Quarter Finals than the whole of the Mid Atlantic does as a Conference. |

2 out of 6 finals. = 33.33 percent If BRYC 03 would have performed better (Like they did in the last game beating Michigan Hawks 3-1) or CESA or Richmond 04 (Lost to a good PDA team) advanced out of the quarters, MA could have represented 50 percent of finals (again 12 percent of the market) Play with the numbers all you want champ. MA is not a powerhouse but there is good competetion to be had. Enjoy your misery |

| PDA is an outlier and represents the strength of the NE Conference. |

| Can someone help me understand ECNL? Teams that advance to playoffs have to then travel back East for games after having to travel out West for nationals? |

There were 96 teams across all age groups at the Quarter Final Stage. The Mid Atlantic had 4 of those teams. That is .04% representation for an entire Conference simply reaching the Quarter finals. Of the 18 possible Mid Atlantic teams in Nationals .22% made the Quarter Finals. PDA alone had 7 teams as a club. I'd personally feel better about the overall representation of a conference as a whole rather than the advancement of a couple outliers. |

Always trying to manipulate the narrative everytime the stats dont make your point. Do you even have a daughter that plays? If so, I dont hear you bragging about her team. Why is that? |

Take a look at the NE U15 standings as an example of your claim being wrong. PDA finished in 3rd. The top 6 records in the U15 standards are: 10-3-1 10-3-1 9-2-3 9-2-3 9-2-3 9-3-2 That looks like a Conference that can do battle with PDA. Lets look at the U16s in the NE: 10-1-3 10-3-1 9-2-3 9-3-2 8-3-3 7-4-3 PDA has two teams in this age group and finished 3rd and 4th. U17s: 12-2 11-1-2 11-1-2 9-1-4 8-3-3 7-4-3 PDA finished 2nd. So exactly what makes PDA such an outlier? The North East is just a flat out strong Conference. The Mid Atlantic is not. As a matter of fact, the U13s and U14s are the only 1st place conference teams and they did it only within their Division. U13 and U14 are the only age groups to break up the conference by division to lesson travel at the younger age groups. |
