[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t see how saying nothing at this point leads someone to believe it will stay the same? The only time the leagues need to say anything about the registration cutoff is before tryouts, and that’s a long way away. I can see MLSN and GA slow playing it to keep people on board as long as possible. But if you believe the change to SY will be a better fit for your DD or DS, then you better be looking at those leagues and teams this fall and spring. [/quote]
Your logic makes no sense.

MLSN GA have all current BY rules defined. You seem to think that if a competitor makes a change that they have to respond? Again, MLSN GA have all current BY rules defined.[/quote]They wouldn't be responding to a competitor, they are going to have to respond to a supplier. The supplier provides mostly Aug-Dec players but MLSN/GA under BY would need Jan-May players. They will kick and scream but ultimately have to adjust to supply chain issues to maintain revenues and go SY. This is a business.[/quote]
Why?

If MLSN stayed BY they'd get all the 1/1 to 4/1 players. If ECNL went SY MLSN could recruit all the top 8/1 to 12/1 players to MLSN and bioband them.[/quote]Agree with the other poster on MLSN delaying an extra year before switching to SY. They made implicit promises/relationships via extra trainings to Q1 kids and while they had the chance to try and unwind them and push the Q4 kids towards the best teams and positions, based on tryouts, they haven't acted yet. After a year of the young kids under SY they will realize that the Q1 kids entering U13 will be playing the less premier positions, being on the B teams and playing soccer as a second sport. Tough to maintain the illusion of elite is if you the players you take weren't younger stars but are now merely a bit bigger and older than the rest because they were born in Q1.[/quote]
