Most of the time the U17 and U18 games are played later in the day to account for the SAT. Also, if you're that concerned about missing the game schedule your kid to take the SAT closer to where you're round of 16 game will be played. That way they can take the test and still make it to the game. Just a thought.

If your ability to pre-plan and successfully schedule competing priorities is so poor that you can't manage to take your SATs *and* play State Cup without this kind of drama, I doubt you're destined for much in the way of success anyway. Seriously, life gets a lot more complicated and conflicted than this. If *this* trips you up...[shakes head].

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostYour information is inaccurate. There are only 7 SAT Test Dates each year. With more and more colleges requiring SAT Subject Tests, a student usually is encouraged to test on at least 4 dates. Here are recommendations for my independent school:
Oct 11: Test Day (Encouraged for Seniors, especially those applying Early Decision)
Nov 8: Test Day (Seniors should take subject tests required by desired colleges)
Dec 6: Test Day (Seniors should take if need to improve scores)
Jan 24: Test Day
Mar 14: Test Day (Encouraged for Juniors)
May 2: Test Day (Encouraged for Juniors to take subject tests)
June 6: Test Day
Given School Choice, it is not uncommon for a student to take 4 SATs and 2 Subject tests. For those with Early Decision requirements, this makes May 2nd a required test date.
Given FYSA caters to student age participants, they should understand the impact of these dates.
As a coach that has coached senior players for over 10 yrs, this has never been an issue with any of my players

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostSeriously? The kid will be a rising U18, right? On a team that can't get past round of 16 without him/her? And you're more concerned about them being chastised by teammates than taking SAT's? Stop and think about your priorities for a second before hitting the reply button again. By U18 the kid is either already committed or their soccer career is over. Nothing is more important by spring of Junior year than SAT's.

What is the difference between "event first round part 1" and "event first round part 2"?
Do seeded teams skip part 1, and play part 2? Or do they skip right to second round part 1 or part 2?

FYSA has not yet released how they will treat seeding with this new "regional" format required by US Soccer in Round 1.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostNo, what's amazingly stupid is thinking the date of the SAT is the only thing one needs to consider when scheduling a high-level state-wide tournament involving hundreds of teams at dozens of locations across the state. And when I say "amazingly stupid," I mean *AMAZINGLY* stupid.
