[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]32 teams are champions league... 8 groups of 4 teams. The winners of each bracket play in the 4th day and the final four teams play in Richmond couple weeks later.

Champions league is settled. This is a Showcase for girls who aren't committed, which for U15, is all. From U15, it gets larger the number who are committed, but by no means is it a majority at this point, especially post-covid recruitment season.

ECNL got it dead right here.  A showcase in NC (out of NJ with odd rules still unsure about masks/distancing) going into playoffs weeks later.  Showcase before a tournament is excellent planning.  If your kid is in the Champions League, the # of scouts looking will be the most all year by a million miles.... huge.  If you are poo-pooing this you have no idea or you're just trolling.[/quote]

Can u read?  I said have at it for U 15 if you want.  It is not helpful for the kids that need to get recruited now.   Have a real showcase for the older players to play for the coaches.   At a minimum do east and west events...and 4 quadrants would make more sense.

Some mid level patriot league program where 90 percent of the kids are from within a few states over need to drag everyone out to california or florida to recruit?  it is stupid.

The top kids that  want to play for the top D1 programs are already recruited by U 17 so do something that helps the majority that are financing all this.[/quote]

As long as the college coaches are going and the uncommitted kids are getting the opportunity to play what do you care?

I get it, the travel, but you KNEW this going into ECNL already. Their showcasing has not changed in over a decade. Sorry you don't like it but it is user error, not the league.[/quote]

The opportunity to play are improved where the results are not counting towards any standing and the focus is on showcasing the players.  It is a better format where the main purpose of the event matches the structure of the event.[/quote]
