[quote=Anonymous][quote=FPYCparent]I'm not going to disagree.  There is no official pro/rel in NCSL before U13 (girls) or U12 Spring (boys).

I'm merely hypothesizing what it could look like for my DD's age group if it were to happen now.  Nothing more than an exercise of "What if?" that only looks at one age group, but with an intent on using real-ish (YSR) numbers.

...

I just finished EDP for the 2008s (29 teams vs. 35 for NCSL).  Four divisions ... South Atlantic Premier I, II, and III, and Championship South I (these have teams from Maryland, WV-former-NCSL, and/or DC).  8, 10, 5, and 6 teams respectively.

One team would jump from South Atlantic Premier III to I using today's YSR scores.  In a bit of irony, it would bump a team from its own club from I to II.  A few Championship South I teams would swap places with South Atlantic Premier III.

…

While I haven't checked all of EDP, it seems that EDP really doesn't reach into Virginia (beyond the emergence of Barca Academy).

The next fun step (again, it's all purely hypothetical) would be to mix all non-Virginia NCSL and EDP teams and sort them by YSR scores.  Top half goes to EDP, bottom half to NCSL.  Would that create a more competitive, localized super league?

I may save that and anything NPL/VPL for tomorrow.[/quote]

I agree that the majority of teams in EDP south Atlantic conference are from Maryland, but there are quite a few Virginia teams.  In addition to Barca academy, EDP has teams from other Virginia clubs, such as Sporting FC, FCV, Dorados, SYC, Washington Capital FC, ODFC, Burke, etc. Some clubs would only enter one or two of their teams, while others have multiple teams.
