[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DA teams should be allowed to play in top brackets of non DA tournaments/showcases such as Jeff Cup.[/quote]

They are allowed to and would be placed in the appropriate bracket. Not necesssrily the top one.[/quote]

Actually, it's generally not allowed by DA regulations.

When it does happen, the DA requires a "DA" bracket that conforms to DA rules, for example sub rules.  This usually results in DA teams being placed in the "highest" bracket, amongst other DA teams and a scant few others who can have most of their players play FT games.  Which in my experience in watching other "high level" teams free sub large numbers of players in like clown car replacements, isn't many.[/quote]

But they aren’t necessarily the best teams so why would they automatically go into the top bracket?[/quote]

They dont need to go in top bracket.  They just need a special bracket that has all teams agreeing to the DA sub rules.[/quote]

If US soccer allowed, there would be several DA teams playing in Jeff Cup. On the boys side, they would dominate. On the girls side they would be competitive in top bracket with top ECNL teams like Michigan Jaguars PDA etc.[/quote]

On the girls' side, there is evidence for this even in the u13 pilot group on the girls side from the past weekend's results

Even the vaunted VDA ECNL group that seems to be revered here as the best of the lot struggled against Penn Fusion DA and finished at the bottom of their bracket.  Penn Fusion u13, while being a very good team, has lost to FCV DA in league games, for some reference.  Reviewing the results, the GDA teams that competed generally did well across brackets.[/quote]

I don’t think we should confuse the U13 pilot program with the DA. Other than U13 there are no DA teams competing in Jeff Cup.[/quote]
