[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]wait, let me get this straight, arlington's and loudoun's top teams had games scheduled, arlington then entered a tournament to beat up on other clubs' second teams, and loudoun is the bad guy?

This isn't actually accurate.  But yes Loudoun is the bad guy.  Loudoun had two options:

1.  Agree to accommodate Arlington's request to reschedule.  This isn't a big deal - reschedule requests happen all the time for lots of reasons.  They are always agreed to.  No real difficulty for anyone.  Forty kids get to play a game of soccer this weekend.

2.  Refuse.  Forty kids don't get a game of soccer this weekend.  Loudoun get to record three points in the league table.  This is not good for Arlington's kids or Loudoun's kids who I bet would prefer to play the game than sit at home.  The only people who benefit are the people who have a financial interest in Loudoun soccer - and they are perfectly prepared to put that interest ahead of everyone else.

1. It's only Loudoun's kids who don't get to play this weekend. Remember, Arlington double-booked.

2. How, exactly, would someone benefit from a forfeit? Do their coach contracts provide bonuses for forfeited games? This makes no sense.
