[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's a rebranded merger between NPL and NL. A place for smaller clubs to place their top teams and for larger clubs to place 2nd or 3rd teams. Basically the top of EDP or NCSL but with an opportunity to qualify for national competitions.

It's "team based" meaning clubs don't need to put all of their age levels in the league. Presumably, the clubs that are "announcing" are clubs that have registered to place some of their teams in the league.[/quote]

Am I understanding correctly that you are suggesting that if a club doesn't have teams that perform well at all age divisions in ECNL RL that they can pull those specific teams (age groups) to National 1? I thought the contract for ECNL says that the top team in all divisions must play. This is terrible for small clubs that join and don't have strong teams in all age groups.[b] So, a drop down would be good[/b]. I do wonder if teams like those I mentioned would switch to National or stay ECNL. [/quote]

No one wants to sign their kid up for an RL team in March and pay a premium for "RL" and then find out in August that their kid's team was demoted to NCSL ReBrand. People will quit. Clubs also charge higher fees for RL teams than for their NCSL teams-do they issue those families refunds?  That sounds very messy for the clubs to deal with.[/quote]
