[quote=Anonymous]Completely disappointed by the Virginian's brackets for U13B Premier Gold. SYC (the host club) placed two of their three teams in a bracket (Bracket B) which has a significantly higher chance of being successful:

Bracket A: 0% chance of semifinal. 25% chance of final.
Bracket B: 67% chance of semifinal. 33% chance of final.

The Virginian organizers elected to place their two less strong teams--McLean 08 and SYC 09--in a bracket where they wouldn't have to face their own powerhouse SYC 08 team. And then they gave those teams the ONLY path to the semifinal and an easier path to the final. The team that places 2nd in Bracket A--which includes more teams--has NO path to the final. Completely unfair to ABGC, BRYC, and Stafford. In addition, BRYC beat McLean in their last two games by scores of 7-2 and 4-2. As the strongest 2008 team after SYC 2008 MLS, they should have been placed in a different bracket than SYC MLS.

Please no haters on this thread. If you're not into youth soccer or care about tournaments that show blatant nepotism, please don't chime in. Thanks.
