    Labor Day Tournaments

    Aztec and Stars tournaments.
    It would appear as though the Stars tournament is losing its thrill for the Boys side while the Aztec tournament has grown and has more teams registered. It almost appears like the Aztec Tournament hosts a more NEP teams while the Stars have non-NEP teams.

    Good luck to teams at both venues

    This is funny!!! All the best teams are at Stars. Aztec is fine for second tier boys teams but all eyes on Stars this weekend. We will find out the dominant MA teams in age group. Tough it of state teams, best from MA. Top teams don't hide at Aztec but thanks forthe laugh!

      Are you kidding? Looking at the accepted teams:

      http://www.starsofma.org/StarsCup/Ac...s/index_E.html
      https://aztecsoccer.com/tournament/a...ccepted-teams/

      Stars Cup is FC Stars plus mainly Maple teams.
      Aztec Tournament has more clubs, NEFC, Western United, Seacost, MPS, World Cup, Bayside and Aztec.

      One can figure out easily which one is better.

        Why are the best U11 teams (listed above) at Stars when their counterparts (lower teams) at Aztec's?

          Same for U12's. The big clubs sent their top teams to Stars Cup and lower level teams to Aztecs.

          The girls event isn't even close.

            It's not even close. Best NEP (MPS, NEFC), Maple and out of state teams are at Stars.
            Long list of second-tier NEP teams is intended to impress the naive soccer parents. Someone mentioned in another thread that a few NEP teams have it in for Stars. Fine, play your second tier tournament but don't pretend it's something that it's not.

              Where are the MPS Bulldog elite teams. I see the select teams and crusaders but no elite teams

                Playing in Florida at a tiny tournament run by GPS. Those parents must be thrilled.

                  Exactly right. Entire Aztec tournament has fewer than 20 out of state teams and those teams are all from NH or RI.

                    The really bad clubs send their top teams to the Bandit Cup! Those clubs are no better than travel town teams.

                      Stars is just more snake oil from the clubs. If their SUPER teams all play each other and lose, they can claim it was to the very best competition(cough, cough, bull$#!t, cough, cough).

                      If the SUPER teams go to Aztec and lose to a MORTAL team it would be bad press.

                      Just club insulation and protection of the revenue drivers.

                          All the revenue-generating teams will play at the Aztec's. By the way, is the tournament ranked? How does it compare to Stars' ranking?

                            Ha ha. I've seen many a "Travel Town Team" decimate club teams. Always gives me a warm fuzzy feeling.

                              The trend of town teams beating club teams will continue this weekend. Sadly the real trophies for the town teams are hiding at Stars. Aside from the top 1 or 2 teams in each age division, the rest would be very vulnerable to the better town teams.
