How can there be four groups of three, with only 10 teams in the MA. Am I missing something? [/quote]

Yes, common sense.[/quote]this… in this age group its obvious who is not going unless they get a major overhaul of ecnl Carolina refugees (which is very possible w parents embracing the drive to Wilmington)

ECNL Mid-Atlantic League Cup (U15-U18/19): Two groups of five, with the top two from each group advancing to the knockout stage. ECNL Mid-Atlantic League Cup U15-U17 winners receive automatic qualification to ECNL Girls National Playoffs. Group stage play is Sept. 13-14, 2025. Knockout play will be announced at a later date.

My guess if its not random 
Bracket 1
Beach | RU | VDA | Arl | FVU 
Bracket 2
Charlotte | NCC | NCF | NCFC | Wilmington

Really puts the pressure on teams in contention for group stage while allowing the winner to sit girls and give girls more playtime/exposure heading into the playoffs/group stage.

If history is any lesson we can figure out how this plays out. Unless there is some politics involved (looks at RU sternly) and a strong team is placed in a bracket of weak teams.

This honestly is a more interesting concept outside of the MA

[/quote] How do you all not know the groups?  NA was already decided and teams were told.  Also, we were told that this does not lead to a playoff spot.  [b]Playoffs were reduced to 2 teams in the NA due to world cup[/b]. [/quote]

I have heard this too and am not doubting this.  But could someone please explain to me why the world cup being here next summer correlates to needing to send one less team from each division to nationals?  The tournament is not at a stadium that the WC teams will be playing at or even practicing at, nor should reducing 10 or so teams going to this tournament reduce all that much hotel space...  Maybe I am being thick, but I just don't get it.[/quote]
