[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What an accomplishment! Proud of everyone for their efforts in getting the first thread locked down.

For official counting purposes, the total pages from the old thread (which stopped at 1181, i believe) will be added to this thread.

We should get to 2000 in no time just by discussing the fact the first thread was locked. [/quote]

BY moderator took it down

Why did mod lock it?[/quote]

Not enough server space. He encouraged everyone to start a part two.

Even your comments about things not youth soccer related dont make sense.

If DCUM was running out of space wouldn't it make more sense to delete the thread? It was locked because every time people accessed the thread it brought up all 1000+ pages. Also its likely that people were searching through the 1000+ pages. Which  was causing Compute and Ram issues.[/quote]

He was/is joking man... The old thread did get kinda ugly and dry at the very end. There seemed to be a few diehard MLSN guys facing off with a diehard ECNL guy. That's boring and not the true spirit of this thread. [/quote]
Thats how these kind of threads always end up. Then you get the pot stirring trolls who say outrageous things just to piss people off [/quote]
Don't forget about the people that post "inside information" that they just made up usually to try and win an argument.[/quote]

The problem is people have also posted things that end up being true. Which makes it tough to know what is real info.
Or at least someone believes it to be true when they post.[/quote]

But if there is a pattern in this epic thread from day 1: every SY speculation was initially met with sneer and ridicule, but then eventually they all came true.

Now down to the last two...

Ive seen most guesses be wrong.
- We're going SY in Aug (this was July 2024)
- We're going SY in Sept (this was in Aug)
- We're going GY for u16-u18 at showcases
- We're going SY in Oct (this was in Sept)
- We're going SY in Nov (this was in Oct)
- In Nov it leaks that US Soccer is allowing leagues to choose their own cutoff dates for 26/27 season
- In December there's rumors that US Club will allow X number of trapped players to play down in spring (didnt happen)
- In Jan there was a rumor SY would be moved up for 25/26 season (didnt happen)
- in Jan there was also a rumor that GY would happen for all youth soccer.
- In Feb US Club / USYS  changed the SY cutoff date from 9/1 to 8/1 (nobody guessed that this would happen)

After this it was a mix of the same. But ECNL parents noticed that MLSN and GA haven't commented on SY. So they started making up things like personall calls with Trish the Commish about SY.

Bla bla bla. As you can see its all just guesses.[/quote]

Well they did announce 9/1 then decided to switch to 8/1.

Also USYS league cal south is offering 8/1 and 1/1 leagues this fall and will only offer 8/1 in spring 26.

There’s lots of time to see what happens over the course of the year if other league make changes.

I don’t think US club will offer changes this year and will likely keep BY for all of 25/26 but I wouldn’t be surprised if encl made a slight change for their teams in spring 26.[/quote]
The whole thing started with an ECNL podcast in July 2024. Which itself likely came from a late night complaint session between USYS and ECNL leadership about how much they hate that US Soccer made them switch to BY in 2017.[/quote]
