There are too many tournaments out there to spread out teams. When this happens, you're either going to have situations with unbalanced talent brackets or combined age brackets. Both lead to lopsided scores. And it will only continue to get worse in the Spring & Summer as Club Directors decided to create their own tournaments to keep more money in house.
Seen the flyer for the True Blue tourney already? That'll be a sh*t show!![/quote]
It's a charity tournament - are you seriously going to go there??[/quote]
Please tell me you don't believe that the owners of True Blue are doing this solely to raise money for a charity. It say right on the flier a " portion" of the proceeds will go to charity. They saw an opportunity when the JDRF tournament ended to run a tournament which saves their club money. The only reason they are billing it as a charity event is to get the field space for free from the town ( true story). I'm not knocking the kids or the organization but that's the truth, do the math on how much money a club team can save by enrolling their own teams in a tournament that they run and you will see why more and more organizations are following suit.
