[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Valor sends a ton of teams every year to that low level tournament. Thats likely the reason the tournament turned a blind eye to the cheating. $$$$ talks. [/quote]

Yep. Looks like Valor teams are 50% of the tournament, such that their own teams are in the same brackets. They aren't going to say boo to their biggest, cheating customer.[/quote]

Let me help you understand the economics of why they do that.  Years ago, each team would collect dues to fund team specific tournaments.  Those were the DA for boys and ECNL for girls days.  Then clubs like valor got smart and "included" tournament dues within the total cost season dues.  This allowed them to leverage economies of scale by placing a bunch of teams into a tournament and therefore drive down the cost. Keep in mind, you as the parent won't see any of those savings.  This is why you see all these teams put into the same tournament so you can't put your 2nd or 3rd tier team into a Bethesda Cup or some big EDP event, you have to put your ECNLR into a Williamsburg tournament or something.  Paul Ellis still makes a lot of these decisions, which is why Valor will continue to struggle.  He needs to be limited to a coach only role as soccer from an TD/Admin level has moved beyond his comprehension.  [/quote]
