Wait let me get this straight. You want the club to do a better job finding teams that are lower caliber. This is a first I have ever heard of such a complaint. Any tournament/club is doing what they can to fill slots with high caliber competition and then they distribute those teams across the brackets. Your complaint is they didnt have enough easy teams?

Now we need a dedicated bracket per age group for weak teams only?

Are you serious?

How dare anyone find fault with Alexandria... people just need to shut up and give them their money.

I thought Alexandria did a good job in terms of finding appropriate outdoor venues. My child is on the Blue ID team, and I didn't think we were matched against appropriate opponents - we didn't just lose every game, we got killed. But, maybe there were fewer teams due to COVID, and I guess this sort of thing can happen even in the best of times.


I think covid means that teams were showing up from all over to play. The level was very high indeed in the older top boys divisons

Agree with other pp, the brackets were a bit odd at times.

Some of the professional conduct / knowledge of a few of the refs, was a bit odd by any standards. I'm guessing it was harder to get refs for this. Have been at several Alexandria tournaments and that was the part that seemed very off.

It was 100% outdoors which for futsal had me thinking how is this going to work. In the end they provided suitable outdoor venues and were quick to make changes due to weather changes. My kid was pleased she got to play so good marks all around from us.
