(attempting to use these to determine the seeding used to form the brackets)

I have been in these boards for a long time now. Since my 99 was academy. People used to make predications every week. I am not good at that hence the reason I don't do it myself. Come on people make predications every weekend educated or guessing. Come on guys "Let's make our boards great again!"

Here is my stab at it. Not in first and second order just saying what 2 teams come out.

Round 1 brackets with current North Texas rankings:

Bracket A
16. CHELSEA EAST SC (CALVILLO)
20. SPORTING UNITED (HALE)

Bracket B
18. COLLEYVILLE EVOLUTION GREEN (SCANNELL)

Where is everyone? 04 board boring.

Truth, you ever figure out the seeding? 'Cause I can't.

My Picks:

Bracket A
16. CHELSEA EAST SC (CALVILLO)
20. SPORTING UNITED (HALE)

Bracket B
50. FC DALLAS NORTH RED (MOLINA)
24. FUEGO (TORRES)

12. FC DALLAS WEST (KANG)

Bracket D
15. CRUSH (M. SMITH)
NR. RAYOS (JACOBO)

Bracket E
51. DALLAS ROMA FC (DAVID)
NR. SOLAR CHELSEA (KEENE)

Bracket F
60. LIVERPOOL KEEGAN (VAUGHN) NO No NO, I meant Barcelona
13. TEXAS XTREME WHITE (BHATTACHARYA)

Where is Che, thought he was making a team? Solar Adame, he was in AP 04 tournaments?

Looks like just a big jumbled mess.

As far as Adame that was tournament directing at its finest. Push a ap tournament they put a '03 in it.

Was playing up their best option?
Did they lose that one player to DA?
Did vital players go to greener pastures?
Did they have enough pieces to split the team?
Do they even have any business challenging?

LET'S FIND OUT!

BRACKET A
Chelsea East
Sporting United
(S.U. gets FCD Red while F.T. gets Fuego?)

BRACKET B
Evolution
Fuego
(2 teams get to come out)

BRACKET C
FCD Kang
Coppell DA
(We're about to learn the advantage of playing 9v9?)

BRACKET D
Crush
Rayos
(When a team name isn't just a name, it's a statement?)

BRACKET E
Rebels
Solar Chelsea
(There is power in consolidation?)

BRACKET F
Xtreme
Barza
(Anybody know who they are?)

Let the games begin and may the odds be ever in your BB favor!

BRACKET E

Yes, the board is boring. Missing the action of the old 05 board. We need Crispino and his sidekick back. Last year's 05 Qualifying Tournament topic had over 12000 views, over 100 replies, and many of the replies were deleted by admin!

No, could not make sense of the seeding.  When I looked at it and then laid out how I thought they did the seeding, it made so little sense to me I didn't dare even post it. What a year (with age pure and all)!

Some background on the teams (some of the information may not be correct) with latest north texas rankings (changes in bold. Most teams just gained one spot. Crush gained two):

And remember, especially this year, past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.

Bracket A

92. COPPELL DEVELOPMENT ACADEMY RED (MARTINEZ) - 2015/04 ?
62. DI STARS FC (ARREGUIN/LOPEZ) - 2015/05 Plano Premier League Div II Place 6.
12. FC DALLAS WEST (KANG) - 2015/04 Classic League Div 2 Place 4 and 2015/05 Plano Premier League Div I Place 5.

Bracket D
13. CRUSH (M. SMITH) - 2015/05 Plano Premier League Div I Place 1.
28. FC DALLAS WHITE (PEREZ) - 2015/04 Plano Premier League Div II Place 6.
NR. RAYOS (JACOBO) - ?
42. SUPERIOR AZTECAS (IBARRA) - 2015/04 Arlington Premier League Div II Place 2.

52. REBELS (BOYD) - 2015/05 Plano Premier League Div II Place 2.
81. SOLAR CHELSEA (KEENE) - 2015/04 Classic League Div III Place 5.
NR. TEXAS BRONCOS (REYES) - Possibly Chelsea East from 2015/05 Plano Premier League Div I Place 15.

Che did not form an 04 team after all. From what I was told, there was a big jumbled mess at FCD, and that is why FCD Hayes was formed at the last minute.

Jumbled mess is giving FCD some credit, the reality is the circus is now being run by the clowns. The only saving grace FCD has left is whatever remains from the Schnell days. Once that's entirely gone so will the success.

Not to get off topic but the instant an international academy comes in FCD will have more open fields than they already have.

Friday's Results:

Bracket F

24. BARCELONA SC (GUERRA) 5 - 0 vs. 59. LIVERPOOL KEEGAN (VAUGHN)

14. TEXAS XTREME WHITE (BHATTACHARYA) 5 - 1 vs. 43. FC DALLAS EAST (REESE)

FCD's saving grace is so many parents default to them.

I thought that they were still running the same program as before just with Gomez instead of Snell after JT ran everyone off.

Bracket C Results for Saturday July 30, 2016:
FCD (Kang) ------ 10
D1 Allstars FC ---  1

Bracket B Results
FCD (Molina) ----------- 2
Colleyville Evolution --- 2

Bracket D Results:

FCD (Perez) -------- 0
Superior Aztecas --- 4

Rayos 04B (Jacobo) -------- 5
Crush 04B (MK. Smith) ---- 1

Let us reflect on some Weekend 1 early results;

Bracket F
It's pretty evident who should have saved the $795?
It appears the group will be decided tomorrow before early church services?

Bracket A
It looks like it pays to have previous Classic League experience?
One of those longshots has a real shot.

Bracket B
Looks like one of them just shot themselves in the foot?

Bracket C
Sometimes you just have to look at a tie as NOT a loss?
Someone will come out of this group with Kang.

Bracket D
Group of death.

Bracket E
Two strong contenders have appeared.

Oh, and just in case you were wondering here are some scores between "true" 04 teams vs 05s who are "playing up":
04s vs 05s
2 - 1
5 - 0
5 - 1
8 - 0

(It's a very small and early sample size so please take with a grain of salt. Also, games between 04 v 04 and teams that are not rated are excluded.)

What happened to crush? Did they lose players from last season or is Rayos that good?

Crush got crushed

Running the same program but without the soccer brains from Snell its not sustainable long term. FCD continues to run off everyone with their "FCD WAY", look at Barboza for example. Just saying.....
