McLean hosts their own tournaments in the Spring.

Even though they host their own tournament 2 weeks later, at least for the previous 2 years (2019 and 2020), McLean teams have generally participated in the Arlington tournament.

McLean may be cutting back their participation in Asist because if there were any cases of coronavirus at Asist, the quarantines that would follow might jeopardize their ability to staff their own tournament.

That’s not a knock on Arlington, the calculus would be the same for any tournament.

That actually makes a lot sense.

Agreed. Crossing my fingers for the kids playing this the week before Jeff Cup on the boys side. Lots of teams could get knocked out.

No one is forcing those teams to conpeye in both tournaments. They made that choice with full knowledge of the risks.

No kidding. So that means we should not hope it works out for them?

Seems like you are just worried about the Jeff cup.

The chances of getting quarantined because of a single player's family member's positive result is exponentially higher than actual transmission during tournament play, so although I do indeed hope nobody actually gets the virus, I worry about people not being able to participate in the next tournament, yes, because it is a much higher probability than anybody actually catching the virus during play at ASIST.

I keep my fingers crossed because I want everyone to stay safe and healthy, not for the sake of a particular tournament.

If those teams really care that much about Jeff Cup, I doubt they’d be playing in ASIST.

On the boys side there are ECNL conflicts with ASIST date.

Perhaps that is also true for the girls side? McLean does have some teams playing in VDA tournament.

In some of the younger years, they are being more judicious about number of tournaments they take part in from what I have seen (due to COVID precautions)

Correct. They choose to beat up on CCL and NCSL teams rather than play against real competition at VDA Showcase or Jeff Cup.

How stupid. Nothing like paying more money to play against teams you play against in league play already.
