[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All youth rankings suck.

And

The only ones who haven’t figured it out yet are U9-U14 parents.

True thats because after U14 the people obsessed with rankings turn too where is my DC ranked as a player who cares about the team. Unless you have a mediocre player in ECNL. In that case you are banking on your teams success because there's nothing special about your DC.[/quote]

Agree somewhat. For girls at least, after U15 it’s all about college looks *at the player* but those are easier to come by if the player is on a competitive team.  [/quote]

Rankings doesn’t make your team competitive. [/quote]

No, but the team being competitive will make the ranking. [/quote]

Not really. A team can play trash tournaments and trash teams and pile up the ranking points and then get smacked around when when real competition comes knocking. Happens all the time.

Rankings are lies and can be manipulated.

U9 parents believe in this trash. [/quote]

No, again, that is your opinion. Have one kid out of school and another in U16 ECNL. I also volunteer as a tournament coordinator. You have absolutely no idea how these rankings you hate so much do for tournament brackets. Before YSR and back when GotSoccer had forums, there was a huge issue with figuring out tournaments. Then YSR came along and it made everything much much easier. A lot less arguments and drama.

I'll happily say that YSR certainly has created egos, no doubt about that, but at the same time it has set a precedence for setting the competition which heavily out weighs watching many, many, many teams get their doors blown off as well as save tears.

The only thing I don't understand is why GotSoccer has not revamped it's system. I'm guessing it's purely for a money grab. [/quote]
