That being said I think there should be some good competitive games which should be fun to watch.


That response is dumb. If it didn't mean anything to you, your son wouldn't be playing and you sure as [lacrosse] wouldn't be trolling a youth travel lacrosse board.

Fall tournaments really have no way of reflecting summer stregnth. They are a way for teams to get in some practices and play in some games to get the team to gel. Most coaches have several new kids on the team and lost a few too. They will need to see how the new kids fit in. To think that one team is better than another because they beat them in a fall tournament is a little silly. For example, last year at Blatant, Igloo and HB looked very weak. Obviously, that was not a true reflection of their teams because both went on to have fantastic summer seasons. Additionally, many players don't even play fall ball so it's impossible to get a true sense of how strong a team will be. Spring tourneys give you a better look at what to expect in summer. Fall is just basically scrimmages.
