Wait let me get this straight. You want the club to do a better job finding teams that are lower caliber. This is a first I have ever heard of such a complaint. Any tournament/club is doing what they can to fill slots with high caliber competition and then they distribute those teams across the brackets. Your complaint is they didnt have enough easy teams?

Now we need a dedicated bracket per age group for weak teams only?

Are you serious?

You need to improve your reading comprehension. As in any soccer or futsal games, it is fun for the kids when they are playing an opponent that is relatively comparable. This is why, generally, they do not match the blue travel soccer team against the red one. The team plays the white team, which is slightly better than them, and the black team, which is slightly worse.

I agree. That was a serious and unwarranted overreaction. But getting good and evenly matched competition is very challenging. I am sure the club would have welcomed a greater volume of teams, which could have facilitated more parity in games. It can be challenging even outside the circumstances in which we find ourselves.

I thought Alexandria did a good job in terms of finding appropriate outdoor venues. My child is on the Blue ID team, and I didn't think we were matched against appropriate opponents - we didn't just lose every game, we got killed. But, maybe there were fewer teams due to COVID, and I guess this sort of thing can happen even in the best of times.


I think covid means that teams were showing up from all over to play. The level was very high indeed in the older top boys divisons

Maybe so. I'm not trying to slam Alexandria, but I do think they should have done more to find appropriate matches for Blue ID.

What age group? Our blue id team did not gave that problem. They did not lose and were in a very evenly matched final.

I’m guessing it depended on age groups and teams. Outdoor doesn’t directly correlate to Futsal and many teams are made just for Futsal (not a club team) so it can be hard to get brackets right, especially in the younger years. I know in the league they will move a team by request if there is a severe mismatch.
