Oh man, I was the op of that thread. I felt like a proud parent watching my kids bicker.

Keep it up, DCUM. Please post the link to the schedules when you see them.

“As of right now there does not look to be any changes from for the Trapped U15 player rule. The league is currently reviewing Competition Rules and will send out any highlighted changes before the season starts.”

There have been a few different people saying US Club Soccer (i.e., ECNL) will let up to four Q4s "play down" beginning January 1. This thread is worth keeping alive to discuss that rumor.

That was wishful thinking…
I posted on old thread and email from ECNL to my buddy who’s a director.

As of now theirs no changes planned for trapped players. They are working only on competition changes whatever that could be?

NEVER!!!

This thread will go on long after the age group change happens. This will be the ultimate thread of youth soccer discussion.

Until it gets locked and we goto part 3…

ECNL will do whatever MLS daddy says. Now you can close. That answers all the questions

They can take our forum but they’ll never take forum 2!!!!!

The real problem is you have teams from some clubs in age groups that have no business playing the top teams in their leagues. A big problem with these "elite" leagues is that many clubs aren't "elite" at all age groups -- even though they sell themselves that way.

Giving a bonus to games where similar ranked teams play each other isnt just about high ranked teams playing other high ranked teams. It could be any level. But the only place people will notice it is at the highest level. I dont understand why the bonus is needed. I assume its so teams cant manipulate rankings by looking for blowouts but theres other ways to address this that dont penalize clubs in leagues with a large variance of teams.

Part 1 was locked the conversation continues….
