Why not merge Cranberry and Sting in certain age groups?
What Cranberry Cup should do is talk to the folks at the Summer Sting and try to merge some of their age groups, where necessary. Carver and Plymouth are very close to each other on the South Shore so travel wouldn't be a big deal.
For example, Summer Sting has 2 boys U13 teams playing in U16 age group. Those 2 U13 teams should jump to Cranberry Cup where they only have 2-3 teams in their U13 and u14 brackets.
Cranberry Cup only has 1 team each in boys u15 and U16 brackets (not coincidentally, the Crusaders U15 and U16 teams). Those 2 Crusaders teams should jump to Summer Sting where there are 3 U15/U16 teams.
I know each tournament will probably want to do their own thing, but combining certain age groups would make for a better experience for the teams playing.

Here are the applied teams:
http://www.gotsport.com/asp/director...9&showall=TRUE
The tournament was already small last year, but the Stingrays attended. It's a tough time of year for a tournament as it is, having two hosted by lower level organizations in the same weekend at the same location just seems like a terrible idea to this outside observer, and obviously this opinion has some validity based on how things have transpired.
Stingrays wanted to stick it to Crusaders, they put a lot of work into their event, but the results don't appear to be there. First year event plus bad time of year, plus an event in their own back yard that has a couple of years head start, plus the fact that the club isn't the type of club other clubs necessarily want to play against equals low low turnout.
The Crusaders event is poorly organized, at poor facilities, and they don't appear to have the same level of club support in organization, but that doesn't seem to matter. The Stingrays need to learn from their mistakes on this one.

After 3:30 on the 9th and still no schedule? C'mon man!!!!
It's getting silly now. How hard could it be to schedule those few teams?

I heard the crusaders are scrambling hard to add teams even offering deeply discounted entry fees. This tournament should award zero points considering the level of competition. The fact that BB u12 are going to play is a waste of time. hopefully no one gets hurt on those fields.
