[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So in clubs where the top team is one MLSN2 team and the rest of their levels are definitely switching to SY, that club will lose any kid that doesn't make the top team to a different club, especially if they are Q3/Q4. At the MLSN2 club, the best players from the year below (aka SY peers) would be on MLSN2 birth year down, so those kids would essentially be dropping two levels of play.  (Unless they bioband.)

Maybe, maybe not.

As highlighted MLSN doesnt need to switch to SY. It does make sense for MLSN2 to switch to SY if theyre going to allow playing in HS. But this is all rumors. Likely made up by ECNL parents.[/quote]

For sure, ECNL would love MLSN to stay BY, but hard to imagine they alienate the rest of the clubs and tournament organizers, not to mention splice up the talent pool.  [/quote]

p2p MLSN club owners are not stupid. They will not please BY crazy.[/quote]

Club directors run a business and that means they want what makes them money. If MLSN which is the top boys platform stays BY they will comply and do the extra work to figure out two separate systems.

They may not like it but they will do whatever they can to stay apart of their selected platform. [/quote]
MLSN does have the attitude that they are in charge so after an extra year or so of fumbling with By while the rest of youth soccer is SY, they will be forced to go Sy or drop in significance as the best young players lean towards Q4 but look pedestrian in MLSN's system one age group up.

The age grouping change will have a first mover advantage. Will be interesting to see who acts like dinosaur and refuses to act to change.[/quote]

Yeah, first-moving might be first not to be not-so fast. Most elite players are Q1-Q2 because of RAE. If ECNL goes head-first into SY, it could screw over a lot of good players in a rush to SY. MLSN/GA could benefit -- as well as all of youth soccer -- by delaying a year or 2 for 13U and above. That may actually help with a better phase-in to SY.[/quote]

Y'all are waaaay overthinking this.   [/quote]
