No one cares I bet not one MLS Next or ECNL team signed up[/quote]

Ya, wonder why those leagues are too scared to compete?[/quote]

Now don't be unfair.  The best teams are not afraid to compete - just the ones which have the badge and the pricetag but not the ability.  Competing would provide evidence that they are no better, and quite possibly worse, than other nearby clubs which charge half as much.  Arlington enters all its teams.  Alexandria appears to have done the same.  Mclean, to its credit, also does so even though their teams are not all that strong.

It's just BRYC, Loudoun, VDA and Richmond that have decided not to.  And it wouldn't surprise me at all to see VDA and Richmond enter next year - I'm guessing they didn't even think about it this year as they were not previously allowed to enter when competing in the DA league so it probably just wasn't on their radar.  That would leave just Loudoun and BRYC hiding from the competition.  The reason is not too hard to find.[/quote]

I guess they are simply dumber than Arlington, who was in the DA more recently than either Loudoun or McLean. [/quote]

Don't quite follow this.

VDA and Richmond had full DAs - all age groups were playing in DA and they have not entered a team in state cup for years.  It's possible neither of these clubs have ever entered teams in the state cup competition.  So state cup was simply not on their radar.  I am hoping that they enter next year, but we will see.

Arlington had some DA age groups, but had continued to enter non DA age groups in state cup.  This year they simply added the age groups which were previously DA.

McLean had one DA age group and, in any case, enters its top teams in state cup.

Loudoun had three DA age groups, was not awarded additional age groups and left DA the year before it folded.  Loudoun does not enter its teams in state cup.  My guess this is because they fear having them exposed as no better, or actually worse, than several CCL teams.

BRYC was never in the DA so really has no excuse for not entering its teams in state cup.  I suspect that parenst there are already well aware that their teams are not as good as most CCL teams, let alone the best ones, so maybe they don't enter just because they want to be cool...?[/quote]
