Clubs often sprinkle in a couple of their "back of the roster" ecnl players to bolster a state cup team before roster lock.
However, you have the ecnl Summer Showcase in NJ end of May which is a hard financially by itself let alone getting parents to flip the additional cost State Cup in the beginning of May and running through mid May.
In short, why would an ECNL player want to play in State Cup unless they know they are not traveling to NJ with the rest of the team.....
....they wouldn't.

If your club does not volunteer their fields, then ask your DOC to volunteer your fields then maybe you'll get scheduled closer to home.

For instance, my son's team won 2 games and lost one in the First Round. Their one loss was by one goal in a hard fought game to the group winner. The group winning team made it through to the Round of 16. Our team went home after the first round. Could my son's team have won it all?, probably not. Could they have made it to the round of 16?, probably.
Hopefully limiting the seeded teams to 8 should allow for the best teams making it to the 2nd round. It was silly to give the #20 seeded team a first round bye in my opinion, especially when you consider the way the seeding points are awarded in the first place.

Long way for some to travel for first round games, especially for the age groups that are being held non-central in the state. 16UB's all traveling to Hialeah, 17UB's all traveling to Ponte Vedra....

I guess that would give an advantage or possible disadvantage to Clubs in Region D. They would likely play the same 1 or 2 teams each year or perhaps a bye right to the next round.
The problem is Florida should be split into two Associations like other large states. See TX, NY ,CA, PA, etc..
