Makes a lot of sense? Let's use an age cutoff that no team in the country uses and hold it in an area of the country where on only 1 B level team can convienintly attend. Then lots of other B teams can fly in along with 2 A teams who have more dollars than sense and play. What a great tournament!


Think about what you wrote- only B teams can attend. Are they possibly B teams because they are younger than the kids playing on the A teams?

Look no one is forcing you to go. Don't want to go- so be it- but the experience is one that your kid won't have anywhere else. Like a previous poster stated- like a fantasy camp for older guys. The kids had a blast, and in no other tourney will get radio interviews, tv exposure and treated like a pro. You don't think it's for you and yours- so be it. There will be others that will enjoy the experience without you. Worth every penny to see my kid smile that whole time!


It's B teams because real A teams won't kick 3 dedicated kids off their team for a tournament because of some arbitrary rule and pay too much for weak competition.



So now the US Lacrosse age limits are an "arbitrary rule". That is just crazy. This will be the only tourney without holdbacks and you dismiss that fact.


It's arbitrary because it changes year to year and does not follow what the majority of the teams use.

Also USL is a joke. They recommend combining 2 grade years in 1 team as the general rule. How is that any better?
