Just want the best team. Good luck to everyone.
So is Capital that good at recruiting or do they just get the best players? If these girls didn’t go to Capital, would they still go to the same or similar schools? Seems like the girls are already great players by the time they get to Cap.
In the DMV there is only one club that has top notch recruiting and it is Capital. By all means take your chances getting your kids recruited elsewhere but for now no one holds a candle to Capital.

Where are you setting the over under? 10, 11, or 12? Sounds like 11.Anonymous wrote:This is so awful but I have been through this before so here is what I think will happen: many of the Pride girls have been doing workouts and most of the Capital clinics.

There really is no suspense for Capital. They already know who the teams will be but for a few spots.

Wrong. They might know a few players who’ve stood out at a clinic but they don’t know all the girls. I think those numbers will depend on who is at tryouts. They take 44 girls out of the 100 or so that tryout. Pride may not get that much either. They may only get 6-7

My guess is up from last prediction: Pride will take at least 10 spots on Blue.

If you have older kids, control is an illusion that disappeared long ago.

Translation: Math is math — except when math doesn’t prove the point I want math to make, then math is wrong.
I generally think that while flawed, this ranking equation does a decent job of ordering the top 20 teams. Beyond that I cannot speak.

Haha you could say that about Pride as well.
Pride beat Eagle Stix.
And also lost/tied to teams below them in the rankings (monster, prime time and skywalkers).
To settle this, I suggest we develop a commuter model to calculate team ratings and rankings. The model would compute an overall average performance rating for teams based on how teams perform against other teams and the strength of a team’s opponents. A team’s overall rating could be used to understand the relative competitiveness of two different teams, and a team's overall rating would then determines a team's ranking.
Love this response. Irony and math are both hard for some. Thank you for pointing that out!
And the where teams deserved to be ranked horse is extremely dead.
