[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why would they give up the membership to NLF? DCE (and BLC) had a good track record for being invited and showing up to those events.  [/quote]

I think its because the Founding NLF teams were asking the affiliate teams like DCE to pay big money to keep attending but not receive the profits from the tournament.  Hence the Affiliates and others to start a competing tournament.  Pinnacle.[/quote]

Yep. Word is they were paying affiliate price, but wanted to be treated more like a founding member due to alliance w LI Express.  So, ML jumped in and took the DC area membership status once they heard DCE was waffling. [/quote] How much is "big money" these days for a club fielding just 3 teams.[/quote]

Doesn't matter.  DCE and Hawks are still going to send a ton of kids to D1 schools.  They don't need NLF.  [/quote] So it's not about the money. NLF need these teams more than they need NLF?[/quote]

I think it was around 25k for full membership which gives you a cut of profits at the end of the year.  And NLF probably has 3 of the 4 best touch’s done the Summer in terms of competition and recruiting, so not so sure DCE doesn’t need NLF. Hawks has some good years and bad years, so the good teams get invited and the bad teams go do Aloha events. [/quote]

* 3 of the 4 best tournaments of the Summer[/quote]

Again, Hawks send tons of kids to D1 and are not in NLF.  If your kid is good he will still get recruited.  Lots of other way like Under Armour, Maverick Showtime, prospect days , Naptown, crab feast , First in Class, the new events that Pietramala is running and yes, there will be enough talent at Pinnacle that coaches will show up. The list goes on and on.....[/quote]

Add in the new Nike event too. But to be fair, not playing the big clubs from the NE isn't the best look. Prospect/Showcase style events are one thing; but consistently playing the best teams on the summer circuit does count for something. [/quote]

Ok Madlax Dad.[/quote]

That's original...well done. You nailed it...or are you just mad that ML paid the money that DCE wouldn't, now has the DC area membership for NLF and DCE is left scrambling to put together a Summer program that has a little teeth while trying to remain relevant as NL, ML, VLC all have evolved and are running circles around the club that blew the chance to build something great?[/quote] DCE has some very good to great teams - why would they be locked out of tournaments (CrabFeast, etc) they have done in the past.  I hope you are not making these projections on a 7th or 8th grade team  [/quote]
