[quote=Anonymous]I know I’m late to the thread but to add my two cents, the OBGC park location was just horribly organized and penny pinching in every possible way. 9 v 9 games were played on tiny 7 v 7 fields to fit in more fields. Games were 50 mins and not 60 even at u11/12. They spaced out games to leave a whopping 5 MINUTES between games, having games start on the hour (50 min game + 5 min halftime). I have been to dozens of youth soccer tournaments and never seen that much squeezed in. It wasn’t even the water breaks that messed it up; you’re doomed from the start scheduling like that. No warmup space. One ref for every game and never three, and many weren’t good either. Goals were garbage cheap quality. Some top posts were sagging down.

Literally every possible way to maximize $$$ — smaller fields, shorter games, more games squeezed in with no time between, no space left for warmups, only one ref. Grass fields (though luckily nothing was rained out). Theoretically this is an “elite” tournament but compare all of what I just listed to an actual premier tournament and the money in from entry fees v. money out invested in tourney costs.

This tourney didn’t even come close to delivering a premier tournament experience at OBGC park, at least. Don’t know about covenant.[/quote]
