The fall could be even more interesting now. Wonder if nefc And SSS will show up? Assuming you are getting local games only, could be a look at what ECNL, or any reasonable league, could look like

Being that this tournament is supposed to be in Lancaster, which is in MA, which has a 99.4298% chance of going backward on the "phases" scale instead of forward my bet is this thing one doesn't get off the ground.
If it does the modifications look interesting. Not ideal for those that don't live near the venue but not completely unreasonable I guess
- We will only be accepting teams from ‘low risk’ states – Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island and Vermont
- Teams will play one game per day/per location (removing the need for participants and parents to remain on-site after a game) – teams should plan to play Friday (afternoon/evening), Saturday (during the day) and Sunday (morning/early afternoon)
- There will be a minimum of 20 minutes gap between a game ending and the next one kicking off on each field – to ensure minimal contact between teams
- There will be no finals/playoffs – each team will play the 3 games guaranteed in a Round Robin format

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostIt could happen, but not in a traditional form. Out of state teams would be limited concentrating on more local clubs competing. What makes you think NEFC or SSS want in?
Hahaha what makes you think.... Stars is a huge fall tournament for clubs.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostStars ECNL tuition is lower than NEFC DPL and GA and significantly lower than SSS. With the credit from the spring, it’s about $2100 for this year. Would love to hear which MA clubs are significantly cheaper.
And that doesn’t even take into account the fact that the college scholarships are drying up faster than the Sahara. ECNL hangs its hat on the pathway/scholarships to college soccer - what happens when there are no more college athletic scholarships or even teams for that matter? Seems far fetched but it wouldn’t be surprising- colleges are in a world of hurt financially and eventually will be forced to make budget cuts.
