I believe I said it would be ironic that given the new ECNL rule restricting ECNL teams from participating in State Cups the CESA teams participating in ECNL could be kept out of the most prestigious tournament the club has ever hosted. Of course, there is no guarantee that any teams from CESA would qualify as state champions even without participation in ECNL. (ECNL has no impact on participation on the boy's side.)

That said, what has any CESA team's qualification for the tournament got to do with the county's potential 5.5 mill ROI from CESA hosting the tournament?
