[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is no "seeding" in NCSL until U11 Spring Season.  Its random outside of that.   VYS Silver Team was matched up with the #1 seed from some other clubs and got hammered where as the VYS Red team somehow had lower seeds.[/quote]

Absolute nonsense.  They try to match strong v strong.  This is completely false. [/quote]

Not nonsense, go in and look.  If you notice U9, U10, U11 uses letters with teams mixed.  Changes to numbers and seedings starting U12.   Experienced this first hand and had reached out to NCSL to ask about it b/c the matches were so off.  [/quote]

We played with VYS Red for two years in NCSL (U9-10).  VYS Red would play top team at most clubs, VYS Black would play their second team.  VYS Red circuit in fall and winter would be top teams from other top clubs in NCSL.  [/quote] 
If I remember correctly, when we played Vienna (and other teams) back at U9 and U10 (not terribly long ago (maybe 4-5 years ago) in NCSL, the divisions were basically based on geographic regions so Division X was like Reston, Great Falls (before merger), Herndon, Alexandria, Vienna, Springfield, PAC, etc.  Each club had two teams in this Division and A teams played A teams and B teams played B teams and the games were back to back. So it's definitely not random.  Now of course, there were some blow outs and some tight games. And if I remember correctly, Vienna didn't "tier" their teams.  I'm not sure how they determined who was on red and who was on Black but Red was only slightly better than Black back then....which didn't make sense because I understand that they didn't want to hurt anyone's feelings but their Red team would get beat up on by other team's A teams and their Black team would beat up on other Club's B teams.[/quote]

I'd say there was a pretty big difference between red and black for my son's year, but for the age group ahead of him, there was less of a difference. In both cases, Red was really competitive against top clubs/teams in the area, and then top end of black moved to red as teams progressed to U11 and beyond.[/quote]
