NEWSFLASH....next year NLF will be irrelevant. Why? because USCL will be having it's first club national championship which will be a tournament of USCL top 16 club teams at the end of the season . So Timmy tantrums can't block teams out . It's either you're in the top 16 club teams (no national teams allowed) or you're not ....so the teams that are ranked #65 that are in this year's NLF won't be allowed there as their club has no say in who goes . So take some good pics at the NLF this year and hold it as a memory because next year it won't even be discussed anymore
Right... here is how that is gonna play out. How many of the top 16 teams are NLF affiliated? It would be pretty easy for the NLF to just advise their clubs to not attend. Then what do you have... just another random tournament with a few good teams and a bunch of fill ins that can make it fit their schedule.
You are playing checkers my friend.
Go look at USCL rankings today ....5 out of top 10 teams are not at the NLF ....hardley checkers
So roughly half of the top 16 are NLF teams. What happens when that half don't show up to the USCL National Championship? it's a great concept that isn't able to be executed in a perfect manner. Just like NLF isn't able to get everybody to their tournaments. No matter how organized you want these club teams to be, this isn't an NCAA scenario.
