[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=FPYCparent]I know it is a small sample size to make any generalizations, but BPC only has four Virginia teams in the 2008 Girls group (out of 28) … and that's from three clubs (2x SYC, Herndon, Great Falls).  I'm also suspect of the URL ending in copy-of-u11.  Move up to U13, and there are 8 teams from VA (out of 38).

I cannot pretend to not see top MD teams having success in recent tournaments compared to top NoVA teams (among 2008 Girls, at least), but I wonder if more "same-weekend" tournaments will become state-centric with more MD teams staying in MD and more VA teams staying in VA.

By no means do I believe that NCC (in just its first year) is an attempt to compete with BPC as a top draw, but it will be interesting to see what happens going forward, especially if there is a ton of rain on those weekends.

…

Somebody ought to do a quick check to see what teams went to BPC last year and elected to return this year.  Same for BPC teams from last year playing in NCC this year (I know DD's 2008 team is one in this category.)[/quote]

I don’t see MD teams ever driving to Virginia for NCC especially when WAGS was just a month ago in Loudoun county. Why come to Virginia twice when  you have a premier Tournament in your backyard. If anything Virginia teams should drive to MD so we can get good competition against top teams. Only Elite 2008 teams are Richmond strikers and Loudoun.[/quote]

Loudoun is in no way an elite team.  You need to win a couple big tournaments against quality opponents to be that.  Loudoun still has to check that box.[/quote]
