Its just that ECNL tends to attract a certain type of parent with the rare combination of ignorance and arrogance.

it increased by 3 coaches. that's not 50%. facts matter
Tells me there were 3 the year before and 6 this year.
That would be 100% increase. If 3 = 50% increase, then there were 6 last year and 9 this year. Again, I’m not verifying the numbers, but i do think looking at it objectively, you can see that when we assign a % as the basis of increased or decreased interest, it can make things look way more relevant than they are. And I say that in regard to both sides of the argument.

It is funny watching prople new to how numbers work freak out when the perception relayed doesn't align with their agenda.
General FYI you can make numbers look like anything. This is exactly what the GA parents were saying about imsoccerdorks cherry picked "data".
We've got a my cherry picked data is more right than your cherry picked data guy in the house.
no cherry picked data. GA POST THE COACHES NUMBERS ON THE EVENTS WEBSITE. TAKE A PICTURE OF THE TOTALS FROM THIS YEAR AND THEN COMPARE TO NEXT YEARS NUMBERS THEY POST ON THAT EVENTS WEBSITE AND THEN SEE WHAT THE % GA ALLEGES THE INCREASE IS IN A POST THE WEEK AFTER
You're pissing in the wind.
Maybe GA has internal numbers, maybe what was posted last year was revised, maybe some coaches sent a representative and sometimes that gets counted and other times it doesn't. Theres all kinds of reasons why what you perceive to be the "right" numbers could be different.

Whats funny about people like this is they completely miss that the thing they're argueing about is the same thing others have been arguing about their dataset.

What exactly are you looking to happen? In the grand scheme of things, it's really a big nothing. There are rumors every where for everything. Fifty lashes with a wet noodle is appropriate.
No, more than anything it calls into question everything ihatesoccer or imyouthsoccer dork ever posts.
100% paid for nonsense on par with paid for posting soccerwire.
no different than the false stats ga post about college coaches attendance
So now, you question numbers? But the IYS guy's are just amazing, then? Nothing wrong with questioning them but you should have evidence.
agree. GA shouldn't post stating 50% increase in D1 when their very own event websites numbers don't align.

ihatesoccer guy didn't circulate the rumor. He just commented on it like we do here. His interviews are what are super valuable, anyway, not so much his social media posts, because he interviews people in youth soccer about what's really going on. His latest on how an ECNL RL club was promoted to main ECNL and what its been like is super cool. And he's not just a homer for ECNL. He's been interviewing plenty of GA and MLSN people too. If you really want to learn something, check them out. They are in-depth and candid -- which is so much better than skewed stats that aren't that helpful.
Just shows that Jason is way over his head. You don’t comment on rumors like this unless they are from your sources. Bush league
What the heck is this forum then which happily tackles every rumor and shred of info?

thanks Jason!
Man, I don't understand the hate (other than this is anonymous forum and we're supposed to hate on everything I guess?)
