[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What I gather from the descriptions of this weekend’s tournament is that there were only 3 leagues that participated as “all star” teams and a handful of regular season rec teams that may or may not have been fully aware that they would compete against “all star” teams. Does that about sum it up? Only 3 all star teams per division? Wow. [/quote]

For U12 and under, all the teams seemed to be actual all star teams.

For the older age groups, there were only a handful of actual all star teams. The rest were regular rec teams, who had been told they would be put in brackets with other rec teams. But in fact, the rec teams were mixed in with the all star teams (I assume because Valor considers all rec teams basically the same anyway). Then, the age groups were combined as well  (U16 with U19, U13 and U14). So you had games like a U14 boys All Star team playing a U13 regular rec team, or a U19 superstar team playing a regular U16 rec team.

Moreover, CYA and SYA tried to "help" Valor's failed event out by talking some of their regular rec teams into playing in the tournament with no thought as to how that actually work. The rec coaches were told they would be playing other regular rec teams of similar ability to try to get them to sign up. Then those teams ended up playing the "All Star" teams from their own org, with predictable results. The All Star teams didn't get any competitive games, and the rec teams were slaughtered. The tournament isn't even reporting the scores correctly to try and minimize how bad it was. [/quote]
