LA would not say a shocker... LEX is quite a good team with many players distracted over JV during the season

Final four club numbers
CESA - 5 teams
CUFC - 3
LCSC - 2
MPSC - 2
Bridge - 1
CFC - 1
DISA - 1
SC Bulls - 1

Due to quarter-final upsets, both the U13 boys and U14 girls will be sending a 6th or 7th seed to the Premier League next Spring.

Not really a shocker. Except for a few teams in the 8, 9, 10 slots, it's a very evenly matched league. Strengths and weaknesses a little different on different teams but mostly evenly matched where even the #1 team has played in some tight matches.

We had that same discussion yesterday. In the U13 Challenge boys bracket now the two highest seeded teams have to play each other in semi-finals on Saturday and one of the lowest seed teams who are playing each other automatically become a region III team because they will be in the final with the winner of two higher seeded teams.

This doesn't make sense. I know that it's designed so in theory the higher seeded team move forward but since that doesn't happen always reseeding for next round would be best option.

So what you are saying is the world cup or March Madness or whatever in Basketball should reseed every step in order to keep the higher seeds going? Should the Giants replay the superbowl win over the Patriots because the Patriots were clearly better?

What you are also saying is that a team that is "known" to be "better" but faltered during the season should be seeded higher at the start?

it is a known fact at the beginning of the season that is 1 vs 8, 4 vs5 on one side and 2 vs 7, 3 vs 6 on the other.

you bring your game every time, you lose you go home. There is nothing "fair" about it...

Amen!!! I like to see a different club name from time to time going to state...The big three deal is kinda getting old..

Just because a 6 or 7 seed makes the final does not require it to take the Premier League spot. Look at the 14 girls from SAA. Last year they made the finals as a lower seed and decided to enter the PL. They only scored one goal and gave up 65 during Premier League play. Looking back, should they have taken the PL spot? Will it be wise for both of the u13 boys and u14 girls finalists to take a PL spot?

And of course the semifinalist who is a higher seed could earn a Birth on the R3PL by coming in 3rd. The commitees now are also looking at the third place finishers but it is not automatic as 1 and 2

Another good example would be Bridge FA U-14 boys this season. They too struggled to gain any respect for themselves or the state. But who knows - they may come back and do what they did last year in State Cup.
