Sorry but the Mid Atlantic did not actually fair very well in comparison to other conferences. Yes, VDA 06 and McLean 18/19. Both lost in the finals pretty bad, 0:5 and 1:4 respectively.

The Mid Atlantic only has two other teams in all the age groups reach the Quarter Finals, Richmond and Carolina Elite 04's. Both teams lost in the Quarters.

The most represented Conference's in the Quarter Finals U14-U17 was the Mid West and South West, and North East with 6 teams respectively.

Number of Quarter-finalist represented by Conference:
North East 6
Mid West 6
South West 6
Ohio- 4
South East - 3
North West 2 
Mid Atlantic 2
Texas - 1

Number of Semi-Finalist represented by Conference:
North East 5
South West 4
Mid West 2
Ohio 2
South East 2

Let's stop acting like the Mid Atlantic is some crucible of the ECNL.

I don't have time to go through a verify all of your stats but since in your second sentence you can't even report the score of a game correctly (McLean lost 3-1), I have doubts about the accuracy of your numbers.

Right, McLean BEAT Ohio Premier 4-1. Dislexia.

Regardless. The rest of the numbers are sound. The Mid Atlantic U14-U17 was represented by only 2 teams at the Quarter Final level.

This is not to knock the U19 McLean team or VDA's achievements to reach the finals but when you look at the representation of the other Conferences it is very clear that across the board the Mid Atlantic is a weak Conference. [/quote]

Did you take into account that some divisions allow more teams to qualify than others? For example, 5 NE teams qualify per age group vs 4 MA teams. Doesnt sound like a lot but that 4 more teams if you are taking overall division performance into account.

[b]You also need to take into account the strength of the clubs in difference areas. PDA and Stars in the NE are getting their fair share. Always have and always will. World Class will be a powerhouse next year with the absorption of NYCFC. In other divisions, Hawks, Eclipse, Slammers, Blues, Vadar, etc will get their fair share in every age group.

Point being, your numbers may be right but your analysis is wrong.

There are about 10 top tier national clubs in the US. The rest of us are trying to dethrone them in any particular age group.

Point being none of the teams in the bolded above are in the Mid Atlantic. There is no Mid Atlantic power club. That is why the Conference is weak. Thanks for making my point. [/quote]

How many national titles did FCV have before they left?[/quote]
