[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There were some teams that played in lower brackets to pad their rankings and other teams that used placement to get an advantage.  The RU teams intentionally put themselves in a top bracket so they could get to the finals.

The referees made sure teams like the 2009 team won their games.  Most of the teams in this top two brackets were better than them, yet they still managed to pull out wins.  This happens when the tournament is rigged for college exposure.

Look at the Union team, they played in a much lower bracket, mostly against weaker teams to get a higher ranking.  Their team didn't look very good and yet they still won.

The GA teams also looked pretty average.  One team didn't win any games.  The other team won two games but lost to the ECNL teams.

Overall the RU teams did better than they normally would in every age group because the referees are coaches of their lower level teams.  They require all of their coaches to be licensed referees for this purpose.

The RU players tend not to do so well when they get to college because they don't really develop the players.  They make sure they look good by using the referee situation to their advantage.  Only less regarded clubs act this way.[/quote]

Agree, refs are always favoring RU teams.[/quote]
