[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is ECNL really going to hold this last showcase of the season two days before the dead period expires (Assuming the dead period is not extended further) ?[/quote]

Why do you think the dead period extends past this last major tournament, but is lifted before the post-season.  NCAA knew what they were doing by extending it a couple of times past major tournaments.  The dead period essentially extends through everyone's regular season and tournaments.  No coincidences.  ENCL post-season is when the coaches/scouts can finally see in-person.

Can you explain why that is?  It is confusing to me- just a dumb soccer parent - if these tournaments are not useful for recruiting - why have all these families traveling in a pandemic for great cost in time and money?[/quote]

Not every ECNL team is equal and these ECNL showcases give teams the ability to go against other teams of equal abilities. Also, they do stream the games so that coaches can watch and coaches do watch. JefCup, although not ECNL, was a great example of this with teams like FCV, World Cup, Bethesda, Delaware, Richmond and NC Courage all playing each other as opposed to beating the hell out of weaker opponents in their respective conferences.

Let's hope NJ gets its COVID act together because today it is a hot spot. [/quote]

But I dont understand the part about holding a huge showcase  so close to the end of the dead period.  Why not hold in when the dead period is over?[/quote]
