Following those contests, the 11 group winners, along with the top five second-place teams, will all advance to the knockout round.

Following the first round of games in the knockout round, the eight winners from the Round of 16 will book their tickets to the ECNL Girls National Finals"

Where are you seeing that 5 teams from the Mid-Atlantic will now be in the Champions League Playoffs? Last year it was the top 3 who qualified, and I see in the announcement this statement:

"For the 2021-22 season, the U13, U14, U15, U16 and U17 age groups will all see their respective Champions League divisions expand to 44 teams. At the U13 age group, an additional 28 teams will be added to this postseason competition in comparison to years past, and at the U14-U17 age groups, 12 teams will be added at each age group into the Champions League competition. "

Doesn't that mean 12 additional teams, across all the conferences, which means maybe 1 more from the Mid-Atlantic than previously?


OP here: not in the article, but this was told to our coaches. Also, you can see this on the ECNL website now under "standings". You'll see that instead of top 3, the top 5 have "AQ: Champions League XX" under the team name (with XX representing what place in the champions league standings they currently are).

Everyone goes to the playoffs. You’re league standing determines if you're Champions League or not. You were being separated from your money anyways. You must be a joy at dinner parties.
