[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, this tournament sucks.

Actual parent review-

My kid's field doesn't even seem like a tournament is happening. There was nowhere even to buy a bottle of water, no one from the tournament was there, no signs, nothing.

At the very first game on Saturday, it was filthy--the port a potties were unusable and parents were picking up dog poop and large pieces of trash from the field.

Our coach was lied to and told we would be playing other rec teams not all star teams and the second team we played was a "tournament team" that kids have to try out for and then practices together all year and the third team was CYA All Stars. Why were rec teams and travel teams in the same grouping when they had two seperate brackets?

They shouldn't put teams in this tournament and lie to the coaches just to try to get it to look more viable. Its not fair to the kids-our players had a miserable weekend. (Our team played in the Alexandria rec tournament previously and had even games and it was great.)

The other regular rec team lost 20-0 to a team from Sterling (the score posted says 11-0 but it was 20-0) and then just no-showed for their last game.[/quote]

That sounds crappy, so to speak.

That said -- FPYC also had little to no signage at the venue I attended, and there was no place to buy water that I know of. They had bottles of water for referees, though they were just sitting in a box in the tournament official's tent, not on ice in a cooler.

The rec team that no-showed for its last game won its first one 7-1. That was an SYA team -- looks like some SYA teams bore the brunt of lopsided results. But some also won. Granted, they had a ton of teams in it, so by sheer numbers, they were bound to have some fare well and some fare poorly.

Universal FC's scores remind me of International FC (IFC), a club founded by former DC United Spanish-language media liaison Boris Flores (RIP, sadly). They had no rec league, but they would show up at Lee Mount Vernon's "crossover" league and All-Star tournaments and just destroy everyone. At older age groups, they had teams in ODSL who were also quite good.[/quote]
