1) BRYC Elite Academy U12 Pre-ECNL playing in U13? Do they often play up?

2) There's a SYC 2008 Boys Orange Lions? Where do they play?

It's not our bracket so neither of these really matter to me, I'm just nosy.

The BRYC elite u14 boys are playing in a lower bracket than the BRYC u14 former odsl team that has a bunch of 08s playing up. if that tells you how the drop off is in the BRYC academy.

The ECNL team is in highest bracket. What does the rest matter? I’m hoping for a BRYC derby in the finals of the lowest bracket. Maybe it’s hey will have some residual impact on rest of the pool...

The above statement sums up the BRYC mentality, the ECNL team is in highest what does the rest matter. The bigger problem is their ECNL team sucked this year really bad. Now please watch out for my dog when you back out of you parking spot.

Do you know what every kid could use as part of this process called growing up? Getting their ass kicked regularly on the field. Look at the college basketball players right now. Most of the kids were stars on high school teams that went 25-5. They have a 13-17 season and only average 20 minutes a game as a freshman and they transfer. If you're the best player on the field, do you know where you are? The wrong field.

Amen. We are encouraging too much front running among these kids. Outside of total stars, this is precisely the wrong mentality to breed in young players.

Relax man - it’ll be out in 2 hours

Finals are played on Monday In case you wondering

2 hours later .....

3 hours later .....

This is pretty standard - I can't recall very many local tournaments posting their schedules on the date they say they will. It always seems to be a day or two later. Not sure why, don't care why, but seems to be the norm in my experience. I'm guessing the schedules will be out by Friday. I can guarantee that at least one game will be at an inconvenient time, or at an inconvenient place, for someone.

The SAC/Potomac tournament on the same weekend says schedules out 5/14. I'll bet 2 imaginary internet dollars that schedules aren't out until next week (especially as they are still looking for teams).

Seems like a low level tournament.

Because it is. Mostly CCL.

There are some very good teams in this tournament, particularly at the younger age groups.

Is Dottie turning into the new Lula? Whats up with the schedule?

She’s been waiting in line the last 24 hours for gas instead.

Organizers should give release dates conservatively. People tell others that they'll know their schedule by XX date, and it trickles down. If you know there's ANY chance you won't have the schedule by 5/12, then list 5/14 and surprise folks with an early release - not the opposite.

That would make too much sense. Cmon, this is Travel Soccer.

Everything goes thru Este now. Dottie will release it when and only when The king Este says to.

It's apparently been delayed because the county has rescinded some field permits and they're having to scramble to move some games around. Dotty saying they're hoping to release the schedule by Saturday.

People are trying to make weekend plans. Release what you have with a note that it's subject to change.

Virginian Teams,

The release of the schedule is delayed. The county has rescinded some of our fields and I am currently working to resolve this issue. I am hoping to be able to post the schedule by Saturday, May 15. Thank you for your patience in this matter.

Please be sure to upload all of your check-in documents ASAP. Many of you have only uploaded the roster and player passes. Please be sure to upload your Team Medical Waiver form and COVID Waiver form. Electronic signatures are acceptable on the COVID Waiver form. There will not be any in-person check-in at the Tournament Headquarters due to COVID. All check-in must be done electronically.

Thanks,

Dotty Talbott
Tournament Director
Virginian Elite
