I noticed a lot of ECNL teams in the top brackets.  That is interesting and shows in its third year, how far the ECNL has come.  [/quote]

I will say this again.  Focus on the results, not the brackets.  The brackets are simply somebody else's opinion.  The results are not.[/quote]

I'm confused...looking at brackets to see if they are competitive is important.  You don't want to be in too competitive or two easy a bracket.  A team manager can ask to move up or down. Focusing on results?  I don't understand.  If you are in too competitive a bracket, you get smoked.  if you are in too low, you win.  What do those results tell you?  Someone brought up that they feel like the tournament director (or age group coordinator) put too much emphasis on some leagues such as ECNL.  I actually 100% agree. You don't think that happens?[/quote]

Yes, that almost certainly happens (no reason to upset about it though), which is why I would not use bracket placement to judge how strong teams actually are.  I would look at results (taking into account strength of competition) and development year over year.  I also agree you want to get the brackets set as accurately as possible if you can.  But even if the brackets are accurate, they won't tell you as much about the teams as the results from those games (I don't mean wins or losses, I mean the strength of wins and losses considering the competition).  Youth soccer rankings already capture all of this pretty well and even better as teams accumulate and submit more data.  [/quote]
