Suppose you had the following numbers for twenty eight teams entered into a tournament. Could you guess what "tournament" this might have been?
Club A = 15 Teams
Club B = 5 Teams
Club C = 4 Teams
Club D = 2 Teams
Club E = 1 Team
Club F = 1 Team
Now, suppose I told you that this tournament took place in mid-June ... in Connecticut.
Still, need another hint?
These were the clubs : Yellow Jackets (A), Lax Plus (B), Yorktown (C), Noreaster (D), Brewster (E), and Team Superstar (F).
Advertised for 60 teams, only 13 teams applied! Another <<tournament name deleted>> Yellow Jacket success story.
And your point is ?
yeah, you took some time on that post, yet can't figure out what you are talking about, are you praising or bashing yj, or the tournament? Very unclear post, try again.
The point seemed clear to me. Here's the truth(s).
Yes, the Yellow Jackets have continued to prove their fine team quality this summer.
The problem is that most teams have just grown tired of the manipulations, the manufactured brackets, and the arrogant attitude.
The Top Guns (Lacrosse by 3) put on a tournament and draw teams from across the island in their first event. The Yellow Jackets put on a tournament and draw 13 paying customers from five clubs. Seems to be a fairly obvious point to me.
You want to know why they have five teams in the younger age groups? That makes up for the revenue missing on their tournament line item. The top line revenue is the same - only the distribution is different. The newbie parents are picking up the load.
Have to keep the revenue numbers strong when trying to sell the club, right? Unfortunately, Connecticut is not as fertile as expected.
