cesa hasnt went to casl the last few years so that may be some of the reason why they were not accepted.only about 5 teams from north carolina in the u-17 bracket.charlotte united that is in first place in the nc premier league didnt get in.

Politics?
Maybe CESA should start entering their teams a little sooner/younger. Then at u16-17 its not a problem.
CASL has a good thing going with their Showcase stuff and I don't think they "need" anyone to participate. If CESA stopped sending teams, too bad. That may be the CASL attitude.

The reason there are no South Carolina teams in CASL has nothing to do with sending teams at an earlier age or feeling that they don't need to send teams there. The reason is because for the last 3 or 4 years the showcase dates have fallen on the same weekend as the 1st round of state cup. So teams could go to CASL, but they would forfeit their state cup spot. This year is no different, the showcase is on Dec 5-7 and the first round of state cup is Dec 6.

So how many u13-14 teams from CESA or CUFC or Bridge or Mount Pleasant or Discoveries are playing?
I was told......that one of the reasons CESA stopped sending teams was because CASL didn't reciprocate.

I don't mean any disrespect to any of the teams entered. However, in the U-13 age group this tournament will feature the 16th best team in NC, the 18th best team in VA, the 9th best team in FL, and if CESA entered there would be 6 teams from SC. In the U-14 age group this tournament is proud to display the 9th best team in GA, the 10th best team in MD, the 14th best team in NC and the 17th best team in VA. This is all assuming that the teams that applied and were accepted were the best teams in each state.
The point being, other than the top bracket this is hardly an exclusive tournament. There is no telling which bracket you may be stuck in and what competition you may get, not to mention where you will be playing.
Just out of curiosity, what is the entry fee for this tournament?

The entry fee per team is a whopping $995. This includes 18 tickets to the Women's ACC Tournament being held that same weekend....

Another reason why CESA allegedly stopped sending teams. No reciprocity, marginal fields, very expensive. But.....
There is no disputing that it is a loaded tournament with great teams and a ton of college coaches.
