[quote=Anonymous]Their are some good teams listed fortunately for them they were scheduled against the lower end B/C of that age group. They would have played better competition playing local at the Battle of the Bay or the Terps Playday a few weeks ago and saved some time and $$.
Why don't more fall events include playoffs? Do most people really prefer a playday? Who wouldn't want to see the best teams challenge each other?
Well the truth about this is these tournaments at 9th grade and above are to make the college coaches happy not the who has a better team crowed. This format allows the college coaches to see the best teams/ players on their schedule so they can plan ahead. You can really see it at the larger tournaments. There might be 8 fields with 11th grade teams playing but only two of the games has 10 or more college coaches. In a playoff format they would have to stay all day maybe to see this matchup they really came to see. Here is another bit of info people do not really know. The coaches have a list before they show up and they plan their day around that list of kids they are coming to see. They will make notes and add names true but most of the time they see the kid they came to see and move on to another game or tournament.
