Alignment of Post-Season Play & Standalone Competitions |

It is generally seen that for regular seasons serving as qualifiers for post-season competitions, those seasons should be on the same registration choice as the end-state competition (e.g., national championships); for standalone competitions not part of league play (e.g., showcases), organization members will be responsible for working with the competition organizers on clearly communicating the approved registration choice.

ECNL will be allowed to make showcases based off whatever age groups they want separate from the 8/1 format. I’ve heard ECNL is wanting grad year for showcases Junior/seniors.

All Aug-Dec players who started school early and are young for their grade will be eligible to play 8/1-7/31 league play and nationals however ECNL will not allow them to play in the younger school grade for showcases.
Will be based on grade in school or GY.

So they can be recruited with their graduating class because either they are good enough or they or not.

My friend is a consultant/lawyer that is helping US soccer and he told me what ECNL plans on doing. Based on the plans submitted. This will all be public knowledge at some point late this year or early next year.[/quote]
What you've written doesn't make sense.

Wildcards include showcase results. This means playoff eligibility depends on showcase results. Since this is the case you can"t have players playing down during showcases. Unless you want to make playing down during any part of the season a thing. Many people seem to think that showcase results are completely separate from league when they're not.

Maybe ECNL should hire someone that understands math instead of a lawyer.[/quote]
I think you have it backwards. They were saying that league can play down but showcases you have to play with your grade.[/quote]
Well thats even more dumb.

So ECNL wants to make sure all players on the field during showcases are the same grade but league games, playoffs, and finels might be 2 grades?

Just make a rule that Aug birthdays can't play down and it will guarantee that all players on the field are the same grade in school at all events. Stop making this so hard and just do what SY+30 guy said from the beginning.[/quote]
