Thanks.  Why does it seem like the worst open secret at this point? I assumed MLS would issue some type of press release about U13 & U14 age groups being added to the playoffs. [/quote]

I’m going to guess that it’s a bit controversial still, the idea that playoffs are based on QoP instead of win-lose. That means some teams making the playoffs may have been beaten by teams who are not going to make playoffs. I think that wouldn’t sit well with the players and the parents and perhaps that may affect the clubs ability to retain or attract players. [/quote]

I think MLS needs to double down and get this out there. They pushed for this, so own it.

I think it’s a very good way to offset the physical advantage brought on by puberty. There is absolutely a competitive advantage during these years.  It also speaks to technical proficiency. The algorithm, along with human review of games, measures this.

Playoffs are only for U15 and above.  All younger age groups are in a showcase (along with U15 and aboves who are attending but did not make playoffs).[/quote]

No.  In previous years, yes. [/quote]
