I saw that Vista Barcelona U10 boys lost their first 3 games in top U10 division and forfeited their 4th game against Vienna.

Google. This isn't a results board.

I don't think this statement was about the result as it was about a club deciding to forfeit rather than play. There may be someone interested in that fact.

Perhaps it was a player thing.

My kid's team had 1 sub the whole weekend--and then 3 player injuries before the Final day. If they went on--they wouldn't have been able to field a team.

Pretty shocking. Also discovered a team playing illegally. No roster...and they used the same jerseys...switched shirts w subs. No idea how they let them play. Not too impressed with that.

Where was the field marshal?

Standing there doing nothing.

Field marshalls are volunteers (likely syc parents that were required to fill slots). They do not have any authority. The center ref has the power (and responsibility) to discipline the offending coach / team.

Agreed -- and this poor ref was young and completely intimidated by the screamy Md coach and the Md parent volunteer he had picked to run the sideline.

What club? Age group? I'm curious. What happens to a coach if this happens? I would think he would get fired AT LEAST! If my son's coach was screaming at the ref dropping F bombs, I feel like I would punch him right in the face and I hope that there would be a line of parents behind me. This is unacceptable. If he still has a job, then the club needs to be called out.

U11 boys. I was seriously surprised. I actually asked the parents if that was normal behavior for their coach. They were not pleased with me, but they did not exactly defend him either. Maybe they don't have a lot of other clubs nearby and he's the only option at that club.

At one of the Virginian 04G semi's, the head ref summoned extra help from the scorer's tent to position themselves between unruly opposing parents prior to the overtime period. I don't know if they were volunteers or not, but good on everyone involved for diffusing the situation.

It's FCV and we didn't have a good experience last winter. We did well, but played age groups all over the place and it was more than the typical +/- 1 year. They also scheduled the playoffs during the tournament weekends Assist and Jeff Cup so the top teams had to forfeit.

This is our second year doing this one and I hope it is the last. Muldoon's farm shouldn't qualify as a freaking soccer field, more like a mud swamp. I saw a dad get hit in the parking lot because a car was sliding sideways on that steep mud hill. He wasn't hurt, but it was bad. Also, Fields 1-4 weren't even mowed because you could still see the dandelions were still visible. I understand these conditions with some clubs renting fields for league play, but for a "high" quality tournament this should have been addressed. Shitty fields and shitty parking, you have to be in the older age groups to get the much nicer MD Sportsplex.
