My view of tournaments has really changed over the years, and based on the talent level. My 2 kids were at 2 different levels. The first one was an A team player on a pretty good team. They chose their tournaments based on wanting to play top teams every chance they got. Unfortunately in this area that really limited the tournaments we could choose. Nike cup, adidas cup were usually the first two we would choose as far as top talent went. Mt. Hood has too many wannabe teams go so we would get 2 blow out games then finally get a good game. Plus the travel between fields was rough on us. Outside of the nike cup and adidas we would usually do 1-2 seattle tournaments.
On the flip side my other son played for a B team, and since theres more teams around at that B level its easier to find good games. At that point it became less about the talent levels of the tournaments and more about the experience of the tournaments. For that team tournaments like PCU (all games were at delta park), Bend (fun time for the family), ect were the types of tournaments we liked to go for this team.
How oregon is going I am all for less tournaments now (no more than 3-4 period, I am wanting 3 this year) and if I'm an A team player on a good team, only 1 Oregon tournament, and then travel to seattle for the other ones. Playing just 3 tournaments while doing that will at least get the competition to make it worth traveling. For my other son the B team player I hope we stick to 3 also, but I hope the coach picks tournaments that we have had good experiences.

5/23 Rogue Memorial
6/26 Capital Cup (Salem)
6/26 Clash at the Border
7/10 United Cup
7/10 PCU Summer Classic
7/10 Adidas Cup (Eugene)
7/17 Beaverton Cup
7/24 Nike Cup
8/7 Chinook Cup
8/7 Bend Cup
8/14 Cascadia Challenge
8/14 Mt. Hood Challenge (U11-14)
Seems like having 3 tournaments on 7/10 can't be the greatest idea in the world. And what was Eastside thinking to put their tourney directly up against Mt. Hood?
