Playoffs are earned over the last year in conference play. They added a National Cup this year for the next 10 teams after the playoff teams. Everyone else goes to the show case. The showcase is ranked. So if you are in Showcase, but in Pool A of Showcase then you are in the Top 4 of the teams that didn't make Playoffs or National Cup. Pool B is next and so on.


So basically if you are on one of these teams you should plan your summer around it?


Same as ECNL

Everyone in GA goes to showcase. Kind of watered down. Playoffs are earned (Top 3 I think).


Playoffs are earned off two ways ... conference allotment (better conferences get more teams) and then 5 wildcards.
