[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Pepe][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Going to start by saying Carolinas doing better than I thought. Both north (incl. RU) and south have their stud teams and minnows. Wondering how long they'll keep it like this from SC to Loudoun, but as other conferences have much farther to travel, I'd say it's just about fine.[/quote]

Any idea if the girls ECNL will re-align like the boys side did this year (MD/VA/NC vs. VA/NC/SC)?[/quote]

Every girl team would rejoice not having to travel to SC[/quote]

Is 1 trip to SC really that bad?  DMV girls ECNL clubs are a bit spoiled in regard to travel already considering at least 5 conference games can be played without an overnight stay.  [/quote]

It's not, but doesn't SC playing with GA make more sense than with NOVA? Yes. Does NOVA playing Bethesda make more sense than playing SC? Yes. That's all we're saying. Think of the cost savings over multiple clubs, multiple teams, multiple days (that's NOVA going south and SC heading north). Almost every other conference has localized their clubs better than mid-Atlantic. There are outlier clubs, sure... but Bethesda is literally minutes from some clubs, but instead they play a club a days drive away. Come on, man.[/quote]

I think you need to take another look at the other conferences and how much teams are traveling.  Most conferences outside the north east and mid atlantic have 1 or more flights required for their league games.  Maryland teams are in a different conference with different schedule to accomodate HS ball.  It is what it is.  The other component ECNL has to deal with is balancing out the leagues.  There are already a lot of teams in the southeast, so adding SC clubs isn't ideal.  And the SC clubs would rather travel to NOVA once or twice rather than travel to Florida 2 or 3 times.  [/quote]

Adding 2-3 clubs in NC and/or SC would make a self contained division with NC/SC.

Adding 2-3 clubs in VA would do the same. Aligning all the DMV clubs and ignoring HS soccer would be the best case scenario with NC/SC adding a couple clubs. Such an alignment would require additional clubs in the North Atlantic conference but they can divvy up the New England conference a bit. [/quote]
