[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]so what's the next best tournament? so from what I see in this forum-

State Cup is worthless

every tournament is worthless

everything is not what it used to be...

DA and Ecnl sucks

am I close?[/quote]

It isn't that the tournaments are worthless but what is worthless is reading to much into failure or success at them. If your kid is 10-12 the "team" success is not important in terms of development of the individual player. Also, success in these tournaments are not predictive of individual potential either.

There are lots of shortcut ways to win these types of tournaments with the right player selection.

After U12 the best players tend to migrate to the best platforms and then form the best teams. This often means leaving their former U11 Jeff Cup Champion team behind. There is a lot of reshuffling of the deck from U13-U15 and that Jeff Cup win at U12 will seem like a century away when you start to think about playing in college or not.

So, as said before in the "State Cup" thread. Enjoy it for what it is but do not read to much into any particular outcome. It is all fun, it is all exciting it also doesn't really mean that much either beyond the experience. [/quote]
