Kinda sad really, that these two tournaments (UA 7 AS) had to compete for same dates. For all those years, AU was the place the elite players would end up for one last summer event. Making a team was a special accomplishment. Now you split those elite players, need to fill out the back half of the rosters, and they even have added more and multiple teams for each age group and area. Making a team with these two tournaments running, just became 4X easier and a whole lot less special. All they accomplished was to water down the collection of talent, making it even harder for the coaches to see the best players actually against the best players. Somebody is laughing all the way to the bank.
