Wow, after all the boasting by Arlington parents that ECNL is not competitive enough for their post-DA prodigies, they get smashed by Loudoun![/quote]

Did they get smashed?  I just looked up the results here:  https://www.ecnlboys.com/conference-schedules/

It does appear that the games were split W3 L3 GF9 GA13 GD-4 so Loudoun did better than their previous results would have suggested, but "smashed" doesn't seem accurate.  I didn't see any of the games so can't comment further on whether the results were deserved or not.

In any event I don't really see how the results are relevant to this thread which is about Loudoun's unethical behavior.  As far as I concerned the good thing that happened here is that Arlington received 9 points for three wins for games Loudoun was trying not to play.

I don't get why you are saying that Loudoun is unethical, yes, maybe they were jerks by refusing to reschedule, but I don't think they were unethical.  Rescheduling involves securing fields, refs, finding a suitable date to fit with Loudoun schedule.  I presume Loudoun teams also have tournaments and I don't think parents or players are eager to play in cold weather in later November or early December.  I can understand Arlington's frustration, but I think Loudoun was within its rights not to reschedule.  Perhaps next year, Loudoun will have state cup games that conflict with ECNL games against Arlington, if they decide to enter their ECNL teams in the state cup.  [/quote]

wrt to the OP's specific point, if Loudoun had attempted to find refs or secure fields and truly had been unable to do so then I agree it would not be unethical to take the points.  However they made no such attempt and instead simply hid behind the letter of the law and I do believe that that is unethical.  Also - read the whole thread and others regarding Loudoun's behavior in many circumstances (the club, not the kids or the parents).  There is an ugly pattern which emerges.[/quote]
