how are teams determined?
Very carefully from a pool of very qualified teams. That's the easiest way to explain it.

In the case of Fort Mill, which I'm sure you are wondering why the Yellow Jackets weren't included in the 2007 field, it's because of the Spring Break conflicts -- they just don't match up. We had to decide on several teams in this scenario and we chose to try to work out the logistics and scheduling with the defending tourney champion Northwestern, since their Spring Break differs as well. We have a couple of other Palmetto State teams we are working with as well with differing Spring Breaks (Dutch Fork and Bishop England) and these teams have been a part of the tourney many times in the past and have been on the 'waiting list' for a variety of reasons -- mostly on their ends.

To put it simply, it's only 16 teams that get to participate and I think the tournament field speaks for itself -- year-in and year-out. We hope to have Fort Mill back at the Palmetto Cup in the near future!

Speaks well I guess for SC soccer, which it should. Ft Mill did defeat both NW and SV last year, represented themselves well at the Cup in 2006, and again should have a solid team in 2007. Guess 2007 will determine. Think they do rate up there with Dorman, Lexington, Daniel, and Dutch Fork. Personnally, I will miss the competition and level of play. Very impressed with the quality last year. Overall, great job, great field.

what allstar means is "should be interesting to see if other teams can match up with Pinewood's strong senior class and stellar rising sophmore.

It'll be interesting to see how Pinewood does in this tourney for sure. Where is Summerville? They're at least 4A.

Maybe Summerville's not in it because they looked like pure crap and embarrassed themselves this past spring!!

mr. jackson just told you. may have been a little rude, but he told you pretty much all you needed to know. they aren't good enough to be in the tournament. they aren't an elite team.

Bishop England has had to withdraw from the 2007 tournament due to Easter week limitations. Teams have been contacted concerning the final spot in the 15th Annual Palmetto Cup.
