      I think a lot of the former West Pines players are now at Miramar United.

          I heard Eli wanted to play HS sports so he quit Academy ball.

            There were other reasons why he left. The playing HS soccer sounds a little suspect as an explanation. The team he played on does alot of conditioning me thinks someone isn't interested in working but would rather rest on previous seasons results.

                The Puma Elite has one bracket and the rest have 4?

                  If you are playing in that group your odds of making the finals and being guaranteed a spot in the showcase are much better than the other two where there are sixteen teams.

                      Why would they do that? Makes no sense. Why not make equal sized brackets?

                            They have 38 teams so it doesn't work with equal brackets. If they had 32, then you could have two groups of 16. If they had 36, you could have 3 groups of 12 in three groups of 4, with the 3 group winners and 1 wild card advancing to semis.

                            So the answer to your question is that it doesn't work with 38 teams. However the real question might be why did they not cap it at 32 or 36? I can easily find two or more teams that really don't belong scouring the list.

                              Yes, does not seem fair. You have a 1 in 3 chance of making finals if in the first flight and only a 1 in 8 chance if in the other two groups.

                                The odds you state make it seem like every team has a 50-50 chance of winning every match.

                                From my experience, that is rarely the case.
