SC Soccer Forums SCSoccer.com Forums Club Soccer & ODP Premier league 1st seed and 2 seed decided for state cup

The SCYSA SCSCL website has defined the 1 and 2 from the premier league for the state playoffs

U18 girls - CESA #1
U18 Boys - CESA #1 , Mt Pleasant #2
U17 Grils - CESA #1, Mt Pleasant #2
U17 Boys not decided (identical records and they tied each other, CESA has better Goal Diff than Bridge)
U16 Girls - CESA #1, LCSC #2
U16 Boys - NECSA #1 , CESA #2
U15 Girls CESA #1 , CESA Challenge #2
U15 Boys CESA #1, DSC #2

Bridge gold U15 is in the CESA side of the bracket.... CESA 3 - DSC 2 HMMMMMMM!!!

Just kidding....

I still do not understand how SCYSA can put these up considering CESA and DSC have not finished their games in Premier. I know the Administrative manual says the two premeir shall be placed 1 and 2 based on the standings in the R3PL, but is there any chance this weekends play by DSC would change the seeding. If DSC wins both their games by four goals would that not put them ahead of CSEA?

I think SCYSA should look at the schedule for premeir. They should have notified R3P league to schedule all of SC teams games prior to the November 12 first round of state play.

Soccersmylife...I hear you and I don't know the specifics for the U15's but the storms this fall have forced the cancellation/rescheduling of many of the final premier league games. The U16's will have premier league games "after" the first round of state cup...good luck at States.

Just wondering if it is because CESA beat DSC in R3P.
As of now Sunday evening - DSC is ahead of CESA.

How can CESA get #1 seeding in U15 Boys??? DSC had better winning % as rules state. You can't consider head-to-head.

Looks like there was some heavy backpedaling. The challenege standings no longer has DSC and CESA as 1 and 2. As of matter of fact they are no longer listed... However if you go to the CSC boys section they are shown as playing DSC in Lexington at 11 on Saturday U15 boys challenge Hotstat standings

They need to keep peddling back further.
The 1st Round schedule still shows CESA premier with a 1st rd. bye.

Under SCYSA rules as stated :'The team with the highest points percentage from the Region III PremierLeague will be seeded number 1 and the second highest points percentage from the Region III Premier League will be seeded number 2.'
looks like DSC 70.4 % v. CESA 61.9%. This is a no-brainer for DSC to have 1st rd. bye.
CESA must have worked some deal since they were already accepted at Raleigh. However, by playing much higher level competition at Raleigh, in comparison to DSC playing a very weak 1st rd. opponent, CESA has the greater advantage in preparation for state finals Dec. 3.
All the way DSC!! Take it all from the evil red machine!

Looks like we may be catching them in the changing process (whatever that will be) as when I went in this AM neither team was listed and now they are back as they were last friday.

I agree with you.... way premature on SCYSA's part. DSC should have first round bye.

I have to chime in here. I cannot say for sure but the SCYSA rules that you are citing are most likely based upon each team playing the same opponents with the same number of games. My guess is that the games against the Florida teams were taken out of the equation since CESA was not able to play them and that CESA won out on the head to head tie breaker. They probably need to put more description in the rule. I also always thought that in the Premier league one state would play another on a given weekend, and you would not get a situation where one SC team would play against another state while another one didn't. That's what seems to have happened here.
