it doesn't help that you are on a GA team playing in an ECNL owned tournament. Also, you can look at soccer rankings app to see if you are at or about the same level as the teams you are playing. But I generally think this event doesn't do any good for GA teams.

Those are national rankings from the soccer app.

Jeff Cup doesn’t rate GA unless you are a top club

Who cares, let your daughter have fun.


Different poster, my daughter will have fun but isn't the whole point of these massive tournaments to match up the best of the best from all over the region/country? Stupidly imbalanced flights don't help with this objective.

Agree, see this in other age groups as well.

Surprised how arl 2012 are 3rd bracket.



That ARL team has been underperforming, but agree that they should be in the 2nd bracket. Not sure why Jeff Cup would have moved FVU up to 2nd bracket, and ARL down to 3rd. The two teams are essentially even in the ECNL standings and ARL had a better performance at WAGS.


In the standings FVU is 2nd and Arlington is 5th, so I guess Jeff Cup appropriately placed a 5th place team


That seems far away from a tie?


Union and Arlington are 7-2 and 7-2-1. Top 5 in the 2012 ECNL standings are all within 1 game. Depends on the team parent who decides to complain or boast about placement.


Against losing teams. The stats are padded. What is the record against winning teams? 0000

Arlington will win the top. They just care about making it beyond the final 8 in the ECNL finals.

I don’t think anyone in that age group, except the trapped girls, could care less where they rank. They just don’t want to get hurt just a few months out from playing for their university.
