Now my sons team did very well, so no sour grapes about that. Just an extremely poorly run, not as advertised event.


Hilarious... Most teams had plenty of players, Not sure what you are talking about. A few teams had 5-6 subs, but majority had 18 plus. I guess the college coaches thought there were enough players and talent. There were all kinds of Head coaches there. UVA, ND, UMD, etc etc

It was well run with switching of some teams around on Sunday to let a few get out early.


I guess? If well run means no water, or warm water coolers sitting on the ground at the tables in 100 degree temps. Teams doing ball hunts during a running clock and/or playing with greasers. Cars getting blasted with shots in almost all parking areas because of cheesy little chain-link construction fences behind the goals, rules changes that enabled a former UMASS player/coach to slide past a better 91 team despite having a worse PF and PA. Fields were basically UMASS football parking overflow. Other than that stuff it was just as good as any other tournament in the middle of nowhere!
