I'd have to say that the fact that the #1 and #2 teams in both 4A and 3A being the final 4 teams in this tournament gives a lot of credability to the preseason rankings. Good job by this message board and the Heise's in determining those rankings.
As usual a very well run tournament with quality teams. Now once again someone will get to test the infamous "Taco Bell Curse". Maybe this will be the year "The Curse" is broken!!!

Raining on the tournament this morn?

I got to meet Hurst (he signed my program), BenP (he red carded me) and the Real McCoy (the strong, silent type). I also got to meet some jerk named Josef Lorenz. He was speaking some nonsense about how Kahn should have started over Lens in WC2006, but I just wasn't hearing it.

The tournament is a massive undertaking. If you haven't ever hosted your own tournament, you might not be able to appreciate what is going on around you and the stress involved (missing officials, withdrawing teams, late matches). It's kind of like showing up for a wedding. 8 months of planning for a five hour gig. Well done Steve and all those involved!

Riverside vs. Eastside in finals.
Both semi-finals went to OT.
No rain yet.

Any further details on semis?

Scores? Both won in OT, or PKs?

Both matches were 1-0 (OT) decisions. Championship is set for 1 o'clock between Class 3A, Region 2 arch-rivals #2 Eastside and #1 Riverside.

CHAMPIONSHIP
Riverside 2-1 (PK) Eastside

Did the match go to PK's or was Eastside's lone goal a penalty?

Penalty Kick Shootout.

Congratulations to Spring Valley on a great tournament!


Is the reason for the two referee system at the Viking Cup purely the cost of the 3rd referee? I believe most teams would be willing to pay the cost for a 3rd referee. A 3rd official may have prevented the 3 red cards in the MB vs Wren game. I like to hear everybody thoughts.
