I have heard from a couple, but won't post here until they register. I expect this division to have at least 6 teams

Six will work as long as it's a cross-over bracket...

The scheduling in this age group was a bit odd. With one four-team division and two three-team divisions, most tournaments have the three teams in the "B" division play the three teams in the "C" division and vice versa, while Division "A" plays itself. But for this tournament, the teams in division "B" play the other two teams in their own division and one random team from division "C". I don't really agree with the way this was set up, but it is what it is.

That being said, I see FCD Silver going undefeated and taking division "A". East Texas Premier should go 3-0 and take division "B" and Liverpool 98 will go 2-1 and take Division "C". The wildcard should come down to either Wichita Falls or Andromeda at 2-1. I have to give the edge to Wichita Falls based on their games against Liverpool 97 and TFC White where they can accumulate points. The big swing game will be the Saturday afternoon tilt between East Texas and Andromeda. The winner of that game will win division "B".

East Texas will take care of Wichita Falls and FCD will handle Liverpool 98 in the semis. The final will be a close win for FCD.

Good luck to everyone!
