[ Interesting, #2 was knocked off by an unranked team on Saturday at their own tournament, as usual pre-season rankings don't mean SH*%! Same can be said for the WSYL, major money grab, that means nothing a year after families spend thousands of dollars to fly out to Denver to pound their chests!
The unranked team is a NATIONAL TEAM comprised of players that don't live 100 miles from home operations of the club. WSYL expressly forbid it. Like saying that the American League All Stars is a better team than the New [lacrosse] Mets.
We went to the WSYL last year. Phenomenal event. Kids had a blast turned it into family vacation. Colorado is beautiful in the summer, awesome swag etc. We have been to a ton of tournaments on the circuit and there is nothing that comes even close.
My experience is that the Naysers fall into the following categories:
1. From Maryland and since all the clubs are re-classed they don't qualify. 2. Have an agenda vested into a local tourney that competes with the WSYL such as Young Guns in Maryland same, weekend. 3. Are just a negative person and the world just sucks .
You forgot 4. Are bitter your son's team can't go because too many holdbacks
