[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some just do it better, but you may have to travel to get it.  Strikers do it well with Jeff Cup and Cap Fall Classic, the CASL tournament is run extremely well, and locally Arlington does a good one in Feb/March.

The comment stating that the goal for tournaments is to make money.  Of course it is, but you still have to provide a product that is equivalent to the price.

Jeff Cup and CASL both break up their tournaments by gender and age now, and spread out over 4 weekends. That seems to be the way you have to do it if you want to (1) attract all the teams, (2) use the best fields, (3) have a manageable number of games for a quality referee pool. Bethesda is only broken up into girls/boys weekends, so they'd need to break up into older/younger weekends too.[/quote]

Interestingly, Jeff Cup is played during weekends of equivalent or worse weather.   However - Jeff Cup has very high quality fields.   Strong ref teams.  At BSC, they staff with a single ref and field marshall who can do very little.  We had a ref who admitted his first time ever reffing and it showed.
