You guys are crazy. Last week you complained about McLean entering the August cup, and the week before the Loundun cup.

now you are complaining about this one.

There are only so many local tournaments available so I guess local clubs with good teams should just not play at all or pay a fortune to travel to Texas or Florida where Covid is running rampant? Sheesh.

Is OGBC acceptable in your book? Would that be ok for ECNL teams to enter?

Probably not as their top flight has mostly non ECNL teams….get a grip.

When the alternative is a practice or intraclub scrimmage a local tournament is as decent an alternative as any…

The tournament organizers are to blame for any lopsided scores. How about you create a different set of brackets to prevent any lopsided scores…..Having only 1 bracket is going to lead to outcomes just like what you are seeing. But then I guess you would say it’s McLean responsibility to make sure competitive teams enter the tournament….

they dont have to go to florida they can go to so many tournaments like obgc, wags, or even play up in lower-level tournaments. The loudoun cup is acceptable but not in the second bracket. even with only one bracket playing one or two brackets is still available

Interesting- ogbc is acceptable when it’s the exact same teams as august cup…..and Loudoun hmmm

Old line, BRYC, Arlington Red, etc….

Don’t be ridiculous.

If a team is in the first or second bracket it is the tournament that put them there…not the team itself

Clearly you have zero concept of that…

the Loudoun cup was just because of a last-minute team not because the tournament put them there

All I need to know is Mclean/Union 08s beat FCV 08s. I now view FCV 08s as equals to BRYC ECNL 08s.

So honestly, when you are beating teams 10 or 15 to 1 or nil, what are you getting out of it? Why bother? The 09s seem to have a lot of McLean teams in the bracket. You could have just played each other. To be honest, it only helps the lower teams to see that level of play, but I can’t fathom what it does for you.

Someone already posted and said it was not a corner kick but play from the field.

BSC doesn't have ECNL. The 31 point team is actually their 3rd or bottom team.

You would think they other team's coach realize the imbalance and ask their team to not score after they are up 5 or 6 goals.

exactly like put the defense as the offense or outfield goalkeeper or 10 passes before a goal. you don't need 20 goals considering if you're only gonna get 5 max on the goal differential.
