[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don't make assumptions.  Our 1st team from a strong club truly belongs in the 2nd division of tournaments.  Their games were all competitive (they went 1-1-1) but they didn't make the finals despite playing in the second division.  Sometimes that placement makes sense.   [/quote]

I agree.  Particularly because you have 'easy' leagues in this area.  Some CCL teams don't stand a chance against some of the MD and PA teams that come in for tournaments.  In that case, a 2nd tier makes sense.

Our first team usually plays up an entire age group.  Not all Clubs just care about 'got soccer'.[/quote]

I'm not going to get into an debate of CCL teams belonging in top tier, but I think if you claim to be the elite team playing in an elite league such as CCL then you should be competing in that top tier.  If you do well, then you have proven your point, if not then at least you know where you need to make improvements.  As with most clubs, sometimes you just hit a sweet spot with an age group where it just works.  Right players, right coaches, etc.  I'll take a good loss over a BS win any day.    [/quote]

A lot of those teams lose big in the first division and many of the competitive tournaments (at least for older kids) require an application, results and vetting and match the teams to brackets accordingly.

For little kids, it's just a crapshoot.[/quote]
