[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I believe Paramount is the only local team invited to Triple Crown NIT while other teams like VA Elite, American, Vienna Elite, VA Jrs, Blue Ridge, Metro, MD Jrs, MVSA, etc play in the Capitol Hill Classic.

Good luck to all these teams competing this weekend.[/quote]

Metro gets invited to Triple Crown too, but turns it down because they're committed to CHC in honor of Barry Goldberg.[/quote]

I don't think it's a goodwill gesture. Metro would rather be at Triple Crown. It's a contractual thing. When Barry sold the club to the current Director in 2015 (for those who don't know, Barry started Metro in 1999 and grew it into the most dominant club in the area, before selling it in 2015), part of the deal was the new director had to guarantee that Metro's teams would always participate in Cap Classic.

This is probably the case, but declining and waitlisting many better CHRVA teams has the impact of making it come across as Metro stacking the tournament for Metro. That discredits the tournament and makes it look like a cash grab in my opinion.[/quote]
Which "better CHRVA teams" have been declined or waitlisted?

I checked 15s, and the top ranked CHRVA teams are here (expect for Paramount 1 at NIT):

Here's the list of just local teams in the top 1500 in rankings this year that aren't in the U15 tournament. There are 40+ more teams not in the tournament that are ranked above the lowest ranked club teams in the tournament. We don't know if these local teams applied for the tournament, but given the back and forth discussion here its likely that many did.  We do know that Capitol Hill didn't let more than one local team from a club into any division U13+, except for Metro.  They did let traveling clubs do that though and some of those teams are ranked very low compared to the 2s and 3s teams from local clubs.
