No that's not true for GA. Unlike ECNL, GA's best events are exclusive events (called Champions Cup) just for certain clubs. Even if your team is in last place, as long as you are part of these clubs you still get to compete in the Champions Cup tournament events. And even if your team is in first place you don't get to participate unless you are at one of the designated clubs.

What you are talking about is playoffs (Nationals). Yes, being on a good team will get you to Nationals but in GA this is just one of their three national events, and it is the least attended by colleges because of the time of year.

In GA you want to be at the December and March events which are exclusive to Champions Cup clubs regardless of team records.[/quote]

I don’t believe there will be two automatically.  The wildcard slots are dictated by performance and there’s no local clubs that perform well on a national level.  Even VRSC teams struggle in national events.  The national club teams are good.  At least one team would have to win in Champions Cup and or national playoffs to qualify the club again next year.   It’s not automatic except for teams winning their conference 1st place.  It will vary by age group as it always has.

I see on GA’s website that VRSC is included for this season. How did they qualify? Doesn’t seem like they’d be the top MA club. [/quote]
VRSC is part of the South Atlantic conference this year which is a brand new conference. They qualified based on last year’s results but they only had to compare with other SA clubs most of which weren’t in GA last year so they weren’t eligible. Among VRSC, SYC, TSJ, Skyline they came out on top. You get Champions Cup points by finishing top 5 in your conference at any age group. VRSC had a couple age groups in the top 5 MA last year. They will absolutely benefit being the “best” in a terrible conference. This year there is only one Champions Cup club from the South Atlantic but next year should be two. [/quote][/quote]
We don’t need to speculate on this stuff. It is all written down and public. Here are the rules for becoming a Champions Cup club.
