Am I simply underestimating the size of my fan club? I do appreciate the love!
I've been reading the threads that
appear to have some substance. (I really think there should be a sub-forum explicitly for U13+ ECNL/GA/MLSNext elite youth soccer. I'd bet that the rest of this space would be bearable, if that happens.)
Beyond that, my sparse posts haven't garnered any further responses. I guess folks don't want to hear/believe that college scholarship money for soccer and other non-revenue sports could go to zero in a few years. At that point, will ECNL vs. GA or whatever even matter anymore?

Anyway, ... no parents got tossed from the Virginian U13 matches I observed. It was already too cold and wet to get even more agitated.
As the nepotism thread suggested, it does seem that SYC may have cherry-picked the divisions and brackets to give their teams the easiest paths. It's their tournament, so your only real choice is to never come back. As a result, SYC took the title in the top U13 division. However, that finish probably says more about BRYC ECNL than it does about SYC's top team. (Hey, SYC! Why don't you have you best teams play up next tournament? Just a thought!)
It would have been nice if the top division had an even number of teams, so that there could have been true semi-final matches (A1 v. B2 and B1 v. A2). The A3 v. B3 "consolation" match seems pointless ... and conveniently ended in a draw. Now, how are we going to determine who finished in 5th place?!?!?! Rock, Paper, Scissors?
