[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a parent in the 05 age group, I find many of the placements baffling. I think Bethesda being an MLS Next club placed many MLS Next teams higher than they should have been and made a point to place ECNL teams lower.  ECNL teams that (btw) have beat many of the MLS Next teams in tournaments/scrimmages and are highly ranked.  Also having girls, I can tell you that team placements were not all that great on the girls' side either.  Lots of complaints last weekend from multiple teams, including a number that said they are done with this tournament, which is such a money grab. There are better options for the girls (NCFC) but not for the boys who are stuck with this if they want to do a November tournament/showcase.[/quote]

i don't care what bracket my DS is in as long as the level of competition is strong. I only focus on how my kid does and try (try being the operative word) not to care about the results. It is tough to not focus on the wins, but it helps create a less stressful experience if I focus more on how my DS kid is developing without having to worry about how the team is playing. I know I will probably get blasted on this message board regarding that, but that is how I deal with match days. Of course the flow of the game and touches relies on the whole team, but I try not to let that bother me when things go south.

As far as the brackets go, I would have like to have seen 09 Pipeline in this tournament. A Bethesda, Pipeline matchup would have been fun to watch. [/quote]

Oh, come on.  It’s a tournament…it’s fun to win. Lighten up a bit.

And it would have been nice if BSC 09 had a little more competition in their bracket, but they should face either SYC’s MLS Next team, or the PPA team that has beaten them in the past in the finals. 
On a crappy Muldoon’s Farm field. [/quote]
