Maybe SC should do what GA does.......Fall season, but State Cup in Spring.
Wrong - not during high school season - the natives would be restless then for sure!
Schedule State Cup for the 2 weekends immediately following the last weekend of HS playoffs.
Or leave it alone.......and make it clear to any SCYSA team that if they schedule additional events/leagues, they do so at their risk. Meaning if there's a conflict its on the team to choose which path to take.
Sounds like CESA already a ticket to regions.....why not just skip State Cup this year?

CESA 92 is the only SC team to date to have made it into the National League. They are also playing for their 7th State Championship, so it's not likely giving up State competition was much of an option as a USYSA team.
We're thankful for the cooperation among all involved to put the players in a position to do what is in their best interest. After all, that is what this is all about.

is that an admission that the team was not invited but rather applied?
Who cares???? 
Definition of invited according to dictionary.com is "to request the presence or participation of in a kindly, courteous, or complimentary way, esp. to request to come or go to some place, gathering, entertainment, etc., or to do something"
So after they applied, they were invited.
But again, I reiterate, who cares?

Every club that may have a conflict down the road cares.
That is what this is really about.

What cooperation Manchester? And which players best interests were looked after?
The offending party here is SCYSA in my opinion, not CESA. However, the only kids who got taken care of were the CESA kids. Everyone else evidently got the shaft. I don't think the other teams really felt like they were given a choice. Don't kid yourself otherwise.
Sometimes in life you have to make choices. CESA 92 has won state cup a bunch of years in row, been to regions a bunch of years in a row, etc. Through no fault of theirs they were given an addiitonal opportunity and that opportunity ended up causing a conflict. Not your fault, but it is what it is. Sometimes choices have consequences and if winning State Cup mattered so much maybe you should have dropped out of the National League event, regardless.
Last year it was about 30 degrees at my then u15 sons state cup game and we asked if starting times could be pushed back an hour or so and were told no. The extra time allowed things to warmup like 6-7 degrees and wouldn't have effected a thing. The answer was a flat NO.
Was that for the kids?
Bottom line is CESA is hyper aggressive with this team and SCYSA is evidently not terribly forward in their thinking. Instead of a creative solution they more or less allowed events to unfold and dictate what happened. Say what you want, 3/4 of the 92 kids were not looked after....and precedent has been set that state cup schedules can be changed last minute.
Expect a flurry of teams to apply for CASL next year or some such "Showcase" event and if it conflicts with State Cup.....lets see what happens. Hey its for the kids...and if they do well its all good for SC, right? Who needs structure or a calendar laid out 9-12 months in advance.

Luna and Big Daddy, Two clear and well stated comments (although one with a lot less words!). When I asked who cared, I really don't care if the reason for the conflict is that a team was invited v applied/accepted. But if that is a key decision factor (which I don't think is the case, but maybe it was), it would be interesting to know. I don't think anyone has tried to argue that how SCYSA makes decisions is clear
