Which of the 16 teams that you believe are in the big boy bracket should be kicked out so you can get in?
D1 - DTR, DTR FTW, Andro Red, FCD Central, FCD Blue, FCD Gold, Rayados, TFC Royal
PA - DT U15, FCD, Solar Chelsea U15
D2 - TFC Blue, Alliance United, Dallas Tigres, DT Red West, Barcelona
Also, why did your team duck Plano Labor Day?
In a previous post I mentioned San Diego for Thanksgiving and you said no way (fair enough) but my point on that one was if not SD then sign up for Bobby Rhine which you apparently still have not done yet.
Why?
And lastly, you beat Solar Red in a tourney (and keep forgetting to say that a Arlington team, TX Lightning you could NOT beat) but then you completely DISMISS the classic league results of Solar Red where everyone here in D1 has handled them fairly easily (10 losses and 2 draws)
They have scored 12 and given up 35
And they are still #3 in Got Soccer
According to your rationale, shouldn't they be in MLS then with that RANKING?
Also, I would say FCD gold, barcelona and Alliance.
We didn't 'duck' PLD either. We played ASC instead...which I believe was a week earlier? TX Lightning we were missing 3 starters...or maybe more than that. Have to check.
CSPAN, if you are going to question, at least try to be serious about it.
OK....that's it, you've gone too far now. FCD Gold?
Why in the hell would you boot us? Because we haven't traveled the East looking for tournaments with high points and weak competition? You guys have faired better than us in a couple of tournaments but we beat ya'll 4 to 1 at the Flamefest in June and in case you've missed it we've been playing the "big boys" every week. (3rd place currently in D1 Classic (just ignore the fact that we are 5 points from 8th place)
I think you should get to play for the spot but to say you should be in over us is LAIM.

You beat us before our new players were on board.
I'd speculate we are better than the vast majority of d2 teams.
Of course, that's all this thread is...speculation. Until we systematically play every team you think is remotely close to our level...then that's all it amounts to.
I mean there are probably quite a few that think some of the out of state teams we have played are no better than APL/PPL teams.
Also, riddle me this, why would an out of state team with no gs history/rankings be playing in the red bracket?

I didn't realize you had picked up better players now. In light of this new information maybe we should just give you our spot.
The brackets haven't been published and since you guys have picked up these better players maybe the Texans will boot us for you guys. If we get booted to clear room for you guys, I expect and 8 page post crying alligator tears for FCD Gold!

Re: Texans Fall Festival Seeding process
I still have problems to understand/find all the qualification rules for DC. On the DC website I find information about Metro teams but nothing else. On the DT and FCD tournament website it's different from the DC website. At the end the only one that matters should be DC since they (in collaboration with HN ) make the rules for DC.

but wait turftoe...he beat us WITH his new players...so maybe we should give up our spot. Nevermind our D2 1st place ranking...it's obviously all about tournament play. Ya'll should stay in since you're in D1... and we're just in D2.

1. Love the avatar
2. I leave for the afternoon and the board erupts
3. I don't want anybody to be booted, I only was making a case for ETX
Everyone wants to beat up on solar red for poor CL1 results but in the same breath forget to mention oh yeah they won PLD including a win over FCD BLUE which I guess is the class of D1. We played Solar Red in a very competitive match which we won on an semi forced error on their part, we also hit the post twice. To the poster that mentioned our Non win against Arlington League Ligtning..You do know that tournaments are played in a series of bracket games and it is possible to advance before the third bracket game and maybe thats time to rest your starters..In our case we only had 13 field players for the whole tourney and were missing 2/3 of our new LA guys and our NTX ODP player. still we were through with a draw and played like it going down 0-2 in the first five minutes but rallied and tied easily. We should have had Barcelona in the finals but they slipped up in their third bracket game to Waco. From watching them they are very similar and it would have been a good match.
Now we come back to AYSES Summer Classic
I was thrilled to see us in a bracket with two Texans teams because we could see Fall Festival down the road and hoped our performance against host teams would help our cause. They made us play cross bracket. We played D2 solar Gold and FCD Silver, both struggling in D2 and frankly the games were not competitive. Already assured of advancing we drew with Tyler Shock (who tied all 3 bracket games including both Texans teams) We played #1 D2 TFC BLue in a very competitive semi match and won 1-0. I said it at the time before league play started that they were the class of D2 and would probably advance and I see they are at the top of the table.. good for them good team good club hope they do well in D1 next year (biased ex TFC Dad here)
If you want to hold last years results against us I can't change that yes we lost 4-1 to FCD Gold in a semi with a very thin squad but we also lost 2-0 to Solar Gold same tourney then after new roster new year soundly defeated them
Frankly FCD Gold is probably a step ahead of us. I would like to see you play. I would love for us to play you. Ive maintained from Day 1 that I felt we were lower tier D1 upper tier D2..still stand by it.
I would also like to thank NTX Soccer for allowing us to get our money back..no harm no foul
Best of Luck to everyone. Hopefully we can find a way to get some games in the spring.
(EDIT)
OK....that's it, you've gone too far now. FCD Gold?
IN defense of Laimport I think he mistook you for Solar Gold, I don't think he would have suggested #3 in D1 should be anything but a top seed

IMHO you should have played. I am a fan of the small clubs and independents. Am Light and IE played everyone they could, win lose or draw. They earned not only respect but IE a DC spot. Am Light took their lumps but can play with most anybody.

Yeah, I guess Laimpart it is not about development at ETX, is it? It's seems you and your BB's team have succumb to the system you yourself have deemed so flawed. At ETXP it is about ranking and it is about winning, anything else is a waste of time.

Yeah, I guess Laimpart it is not about development at ETX, is it? It's seems you and your BB's team have succumb to the system you yourself have deemed so flawed. At ETXP it is about ranking and it is about winning, anything else is a waste of time.
Nothing but crying from ETX, in fact 8 pages worth in the end,take my ball and go home because I did not get my way.Now go take down some of those powerhouse teams in LA and MS.
Damn it... had a little wager going with another member of the forum....thought we would reach 9 pages by tomorrow.

I really dont think your characterization is fair.
teams 17-22 would not have offered us any better level of competition than what we faced at the two summer DFW tourneys we entered and won.
We can agree to disagree about whethere we deserved at least a 16 seed out of the 22 teams. That issue became secondary to our intentions and expectations when we entered and paid. NTX soccer heard our complaint and agreed our position had merit.
So it is more trying to get what you paid for than crying and going home. Had NTX ruled against us we would have been there. Hopefully we can take our funds and apply for another tournament in short order ..trust me we are trying as this is written.
It is a little disheartening to see the acrimony over our club. As far as the crack about LA and MS teams, its true they have fewer quality teams but the top 2 or 3 in LA can compete with CL1 and this was proven at PLD (at U16) Its not just us --teams like Amarillo have to put up with so much more just to compete. Your kids sleep in their own beds for almost every league and tourney you play in the Metro area, every game we play is AWAY kids crammed 4 to a room. People in DFW are blessed to be surrounded by great clubs great coaches great facilities. We feel we have done a good job cobbling together 20 kids that love the game and can play at the higher (didn't say highest) levels of competitive soccer in NTX. I would hope we could dial back the rhetoric. I have nothing but admiration for the soccer scene over there...I wish this whole episode could have been avoided.

Re: Texans Fall Festival Seeding process
Well perhaps they can learn a few things and apply them for the future. The bigest lesson should be do not base your whole season on how you do at 2 small local tournaments that the top locals use as warm ups for the CL season. Went to them in years past and our coach, to the dismay of some parents, ran guys in and out, tried players in different positions, tested different formations, rested top players alot, etc. It was not important to him. The season goal was league promotion. When we made D1 the goals were grand champion, DC and State Cup. Any decent D1 coach does not give a crap about winning or losing preaeason tournament games, gotsoccer points or rankings. After a summer of work and warm up tournaments if a coach wants to see how his squad stacks up in-state he does the PLD. Tournament committees know this and are going to take that into consideration.
Lesson 2; go to real tournaments and get a resume not some GS ( or IMO BS) points.
Lesson 3. Forget your assumption that top LA and MS are CL D1 quality. Case in point, they send their State Champion or top ranked team to the Presidents Cup where they get beat year after year by D3 NTX and D2 NC and FL teams. Their ODP teams get stomped at Regionals every year and they rarely have players on the Region III pool or team.
Oh forget all that because according to you guys my credibility is compromised.
