MD/DC is the best area for top teams and is certainly stronger now at this age than NY/LI.
We will see at the WSYL who has the best players on age. My Guess is LI will have 3 teams in the semi-finals.
None of the top MD teams are going to wsyl. LI teams changed their lineups just so that they could go. Winning wsyl is as prestigious as winning beachlax this year. Millon championship is the only real championship this year.
Million Cheating Championship - Bring who ever you want to play. At least at WSYL you had to show Birth Certificates, Report Cards and Parents Driver's License.
Every tournament has to show Proof of age and grade! Ask for a roster check form your coach and he can get one for every team entered in any tournament. Coaches and teams can have access to all that information .
Other than WYSL, what tournaments require proof of age or anything else??! My sons' club doesn't even have that info - with 3 boys going through travel lax, with at least 4+ different organizations, I can say that I have never provided any of that info to them - all they have is my sons' USL #, and I highly doubt they do anything more with that other than verify that it is valid, and I doubt USL has more than the DOB provided to them, maybe validated against a Birth Cert if you sent it into them. No tournament paperwork I've been asked to submit as a parent has been anything other than a waiver - no proof of anything required. The whole non-WYSL tournament scene is the the honor system, thus the wild west.
