Mt Hood Challenge

[Unregistered]

your right playing more games what a rip off. This is a scam, and the kids might get a medal. This B.S. I demand less games and more failure for this fun weekend. I won't be happy unless I see tears.

Who are you even referring to? I haven't seen a post yet that is complaining about more games or the medals. I read a few that stated not every kid would be happy with winning a medal just for the sake of getting one and I tend to agree. Not once did anyone state that having lots of medals was wrong though. Calm down. Just be happy your child may finally get a medal ;)

Ha ha!

Well, I think every kid there is "competitive", and this tournament tests him at his level. Besides, I can tell you that my little guy will compete against some OPL A teams, so I guess they did not get the memo about this being a rec tournament.

If you want ultra competitive soccer, I guess some of you can start visiting the forums about Rainier Cup and Surf Cup? Whatchadoinhere?

No, evey kid there is not competitive and that is perfectly fine. I see nothing wrong with this tournament catering to those who are not necessarily premier. Everyone needs tournaments to go to. Anyone who has been in club soccer for awhile knows that the Mt. Hood challenge caters to the lower end teams. Again, nothing wrong with that. Cascade Cup is another one where you're not going to draw the best teams. Of course there will be a few A teams there. Some teams love to do a late summer tournament because they may finally have all their kids back. I am going to guess that your son is on the younger side and I'm sure he'll have a great time. I'm also going to take a guess he is your first in club soccer as you seem pretty intense.

Hoping for a great time

2nd kid through the mill.

You're right about the intenseness (good thing I "sign" my posts so you can tell, eh?)...I really like the format of this tournament and, weirdly, am proud that we in the NW can put together something of this magnitude. At the same time, I'm sad that Chinook cup has fallen apart somewhat.

What I don't understand on this board is all of the people who seem to look for some reason to slam something, whether it's the guy who puts the tournament together, or the teams not being the big leagues, or the way that medals are handed out. Can't we just enjoy the sport?

Can't wait for the weekend. Sunny weather, games galore, views of Mt Hood, and watching the little guys play a great sport!

Maybe the format is good in your division but it is terrible in my daughter's. It is completely unfair and favorites 2 brackets. I can't possibly see how this will be a good tournament when it can't even be fair.

Quantity over Quality

This event spread out from Hillsboro to Wilsonville...is much like a CQT of ole...but instead of getting placed in a classic division of the oysa you get a medal and the chance to support one's man chance to make $$$ of the lunancy that is present day rec/classic soccer in oregon.

Kudos!

See. It is easy to make false accusations anonymously.

any U13G platinum teams looking for a guest player this weekend ? If so, please post your team/club/coaches info so that we may call them. prefer a team from Washington so travel papers wont be an issue. youll need to supply jersey/shorts. our player plays for an elite top level club/team now, so competitive level is not an issue from what I can see of the teams coming.

Know that one person OWES

I am am very sorry to hear that this one person is willing to work harder then those working for the clubs.

The one person you are referring to is not a white knight, he lost the case brought against him by SSC and he owes and will not pay.

What kind of person do you really think that is? He owes a non-profit support kids money, he makes money off of those kids.

If you work hard and earn that is great but if you owe a club a boat load of money you need to pay up.

if he does and the club has won a money judgement against him, why is it that they dont serve WUSC or OYSA a garnishment to collect the monies owed to them ?

Or would they rather just hold this over his head for leaving them and taking his ball with him to another field ?

Youd think that if they really wanted to collect the money they would have attempted to collect before now. This person is fairly high profile and isnt hard to find in the soccer circles. He works for a number of different clubs in both Oregon and Washington arranging their tourneys.

Sometimes the slander (wrong doing) angle has far more long lasting waves than the
money that is owed.

"Whether their talking good about me or bad, as long as they keep talking about me is the most important fact"

The guy owes a non-profit tens of thousands of dollars, hasn't paid or made arrangements to pay, and you want to put the fault on the club for not garnishing his wages yet? Hmmm...maybe the non-profit was expecting the "pillar of oregon soccer tournaments" to actually abide by the court's ruling. I'm sure the non-profit will ultimately garnish wages if it gets to that point. Until then, maybe the reputable tourney director will actually pay what he legally owes.

Not looking anymore. Your "elite" attitude turned us off.

Maybe he just can't afford to. If his only source of income is scheduling games, I doubt he makes as much as one of the top DOCs in Portland.

Does anyone really know what they sued him for ? Was it breach of contract ? If so, the club is not actually out any money, just the potential they might have missed after his departure. If it was theft, that is a totally different animal all together. I would have to assume the later is not true, otherwise I'm sure OYSA would not hire him.
