Did the tournament hand out the 3rd place medals after the team picture was taken?

Points therefore do not matter for overall standings when you don’t play the other bracket. That’s why tournaments have semi finals. Without semis there is a Champion and a Finalist/Runner Up and that’s it. FCV messed this up.

Of course they did. But they needed to justify the results to themselves somehow. LOL.

How is that declaring themselves 3rd place? Out of the 8 teams in the top bracket, they finished with 6 points, while the other 5 teams had 4 or less points.
This is how final standings are done in showcase tournaments, where there are no semis or finals at all.


And really. who cares?
So get over yourself.

LMAO. You should be embarrassed. And they also disrespected Arlington. Wow.

FCV was in the LOSERS bracket. Let’s wait for the Yankees social media post that they were 3rd place baseball in 2019. Lol

Stop. You were not 3rd place, you did not play the other bracket.

That’s like the Yankees claiming they were third place in baseball this year over the Cardinals. Nope.

Conclusion - FCV 07 DA is a bad team

“Even VDA beat...”? Considering VDA tied McLean during season play and holding their own in the ECNL....I wouldn’t be surprised about any VDA wins. Loudoun, McLean, FCV girls have been together for years and have the benefit of familiarity which has carried them to this point.

Arlington 07 DA was second place in the other bracket with the actual Champion. I guess they could claim 3rd place given that their bracket was stronger. LOL @ FCV.

Lol.

Kinda hard to claim 3rd in double bracket without a semi.

The team that beat FCV lost in the final. Next time don’t claim that without a semifinal Bobby.

Just a clarifying remark here....the NCFC team that won the bracket here isn't the (8th place) NCFC ECNL team that you are referring to above....that team was in bracket #2 (Under 13 Girls Elite White) and went 1-2 in bracket play. The NCFC team that won the top bracket might be a DA team? I wasn't sure that was possible though (having both a DA team and an ECNL team at the same club).
