[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PDA is an outlier and represents the strength of the NE Conference. [/quote]

Take a look at the NE U15 standings as an example of your claim being wrong.

PDA finished in 3rd. The top 6 records in the U15 standards are:
10-3-1
10-3-1
9-2-3
9-2-3
9-2-3
9-3-2

That looks like a Conference that can do battle with PDA.

Lets look at the U16s in the NE:
10-1-3
10-3-1
9-2-3
9-3-2
8-3-3
7-4-3

PDA has two teams in this age group and finished 3rd and 4th.

U17s:
12-2
11-1-2
11-1-2
9-1-4
8-3-3
7-4-3

PDA finished 2nd.

So exactly what makes PDA such an outlier?  The North East is just a flat out strong Conference. The Mid Atlantic is not. As a matter of fact, the U13s and U14s are the only 1st place conference teams  and they did it only within their Division. U13 and U14 are the only age groups to break up the conference by division to lesson travel at the younger age groups. [/quote]

What is your point. The NE Division is probabley the strongest in the nation and will only get stronger next year. This has always been the case. You are adding Zero value. [/quote]

It is answering the argument that PDA is an outlier based on the following quote "PDA is an outlier and represents the strength of the NE Conference."

The NE as a conference is only one of three very strong conferences. The Mid Atlantic is not included in that list. Just facts.[/quote]

Neither is the DA Atlantic Division. In fact, the entire East Coast DA is downright horrible.

Florida= Horrible
Georgia = Tophat (nothing else)
South Carolina = Nothing
North Carolina = old Casl. (Nothing else)
Virginia = FCV (nothing else)
Maryland= Nothing really
PA = Penn Fusion (nothing else)
NJ = Cedar Stars (nothing else)
Conn = Horrible
All of New England = NEFC (nothing else)

That is the entire east coast of the United States of America my friend.

How does this make the Mid Atlantic better?[/quote]

It doesnt make them better. It means pick your poison and stop acting like the sky is falling.

There are better ECNL teams
There are better DA teams
There are better conference
There are better divsions

Am I telling you something new?

Where did I ever imply that the sky is falling? I said the Mid Atlantic is a weak ECNL Conference and I demonstrated the ways that it is a weak Conference. My initial point has not yet been disproved. [/quote]

You dont see the failure in your anaylsis and never will. So let's change the discussion for a second.

For someone who puts so much time effort into looking up numbers to make a point, can you give us a local alternative. [/quote]

That is easy. The one closest to home where your kid is a starter. DA, ECNL, it doesn't matter. There are no power house clubs here and there are no power league conferences. [/quote]

As I said all along.

It's all team (age group) specific [b]not club specific[/b]. The MA teams are national contenders. Some are not. [/quote]

I don't believe this is true.  The FCV teams at every age group would by top 1 or 2 in the area.[/quote]
