Let's rephrase the statement: ODSL has some ass-kicking teams, many predominantly Hispanic and some parent-coached, who aren't in NCSL for whatever reason (sometimes field issues, sometimes by choice). Dynamite, VISTA and a few others have some teams that routinely go into tournaments and clobber high-level NCSL teams. IFC actually has entered the occasional team in EDP.

It's a pity we don't have a single competition that would bring together the good teams from CCL (maybe half of them), VPL (maybe a third of them), ECNL (all 1 of them on the boys side), EDP (most of D1 and some of D2), NCSL (most of D1, some of D2) and ODSL (a couple of teams from D1). That would be a great, competitive league or tournament. Alas, none of these folks want to play nicely with each other. [/quote]

There is, and it is modeled after the Champions League in Europe.  It's called the State Cup, pretty much any team can register.  It would be perfect for the top teams in all of the leagues to be invited for smaller price than is currently being charged, and have guaranteed 2 games.[/quote]

Except that ECNL and DA teams do not play in any State Cup, and the advent of the NPL State Cup this year means that VPL teams will play in the NPL state cup, CCL and NCSL and (maybe) ODSL teams will play in the VYSA State Cup, and there is still no way for all the different teams in all the different leagues to play each other.  Also, VYSA State Cup being single elimination makes it less meaningful regardless.  [/quote]
