    Try explaining that to the kids.
    The kids know full well. Half the teams in the premier division get crushed by the 1-3 premier teams every time. Why not put all those teams in Div 1 where the competition would be more appropriate instead of just filling out a Premier division with 1 to 3 Premier teams and then 5-8 obvious Div 1 teams? The kids all know. They aren’t stupid. How fun is it to be a punching bag game after game?

        If we are talking about the actual State Cup (finals), over 90% of the State Cup final games were 1-2 goal differential, multiple PK deciding games. Not sure about you, but that seems to me like some decent competition in the finals. The teams in the finals have to play somebody en route to the actual, final match.

It’s so lopsided in most girls age groups that one team (that lost fewest players to ecnl/gda) easily wins the league. The state cup games are just another chance for them to embarrass the weaker watered down teams again. Just give 1st and 2nd place to the league finishers or have just the championship game for the entire State Cup. Then have all the lower teams compete in an expanded presidents cup because they aren’t premier level teams in the first place and don’t have a chance in State Cup.
          Agree. If there are only say 3 or 4 premier teams then have a division with just those 3 or 4 teams. Play each other team 3x during league and then once each in State Cup. Don’t just use teams to fill a division. Even if it’s a club’s A team, put it in Division 1 or 2 if that’s the appropriate level.
