[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think also GA won't add anymore showcase because of the low turnout of coaches and teams.

having playoffs part of a showcase and champions cup part of a showcase seems like a smart idea to get more coaches but coaches obviously are going to go see the playoff teams more at the summer showcase and the champions cup teams in the Winter showcase.   if GA removed the combinations from those 2 showcases, the coaching turnout would even be poorer.

people keep saying so what GA is getting huge drops in D1 soccer coaches attending there are other coaches that come.  sure, but that shows you then what the coaches think of the level of play at the GA tournament.  I mean soon, the GA showcases are on the par of the jeffersoncup and Casa tournaments[/quote]

At some point they are going to tick off the clubs in the east. Every year except 1 has seen playoffs in California which is expensive to fly to from the east coast and on top of that 1 of the only 2 showcases they have is also in California. They need to switch up the playoffs location as well as Champions Cup. They have several locations on the east coast that could handle what they are looking for which is a single venue spot that can handle all games. You don't need every P4 school or schools from all over the country to attend every event. Most smaller events have mostly localish schools attending with a few from all over. We had over 80 coaches attend that inter-conference crossover at Coppermine this year. Considering that was only the clubs in the mid-atlantic conference that was a huge turnout. If you had one in the north east and one in the south east you would still have as good a turn out as the current spring showcase in NC.

My thoughts on JeffCup and any showcase are basically this, if you can't get games at the main complex you aren't going to see many scouts regardless of how good your team is. Ds team is a playoff caliber GA team that was misflighted in a mid bracket group for JeffCup where they decimated the other teams to a total of a 3-0 record with 34 goals for and 4 goals against, 2 of which came against another team that was also misflighted. They had 1 game at the main complex which saw 40 scouts attend and a combined 10 over the next 2 games at a different complex. [/quote]
