As a strong OPL supporter, this is getting embarassing. Please guys, show us some professionalism.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

As a supporter of neither organization I don't think things have changed much when it comes to scheduling. They were always late with OYSA and they are always late now with OPL. I think it's the nature of the beast. Now if they could at least give us an estimate of when we will have live schedules that would be nice.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Does that mean that perhaps neither was late and that schedules come out later than some would like?Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Ok, a little later than some people wished for OPL. OYSA still has no schedules posted for their jamboree.Comment

Oh right that is the jamboree that leads to a real regional tournament with potential for a national campaign. While the rest of Oregon's highly competitive teams are paying to go nowhere.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Sorry, what I posted was focused on the now, what is guaranteed. That is where the best competition is for the state of Oregon, OPL State Cup. I do not discount that the "next step" is a different issue. OYSA has the next step over OPL.Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
But lets be real here. Can a competition with 3 teams or less at an age group be called a tournament? Isn't that more like a jamboree? What is difficult about getting out a schedule for that? Maybe it is that right now, even the few OPL teams of any merit that are participating are technically not eligible until they play a "qualifying league/tournament". So why is there not schedules available for that?
Admittedly, the entire mess is a sorry state of affairs.........for both sides!
Fix this mess.Comment

Surf Cup, USYS Regionals or US Club Nationals? I think the overall experience would go to Surf Cup and that is where the best teams go now. OPL doesn't need USYS there is enough talent in OPL to make due without. Sorry doesn't work the other way for OYSA. Glad my daughter has only year and half left and on to the next big thing.Comment

From what I heard the best boys teams in Oregon are reduced to games against girls teams to "qualify" for the OYSA state cup. That can't possibly be true. Is it?Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

I am not aware of the information you are basing that on. I don't believe schedules gave been released.Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
Honestly the whole qualifying tournament is an unfortunate necessity. It is necessary because the requirements of USYS state that teams participating in State cup must be sanctned teams. It is necessary because of the stupid war we have had between OYSA, and OPL, If OPL had not pulled their last second hissy fit like withdrawal, I suspect everything would be much smoother.
Now however OYSA is left to improvise, and the OPL legions are trying to paint the situation as somehow showing the inadequacy of State Cup.
I not sure if people are aware of how infantile the argument sounds that "State Cup is not good this year, because my team isn't participating. We are food good to participate in such a silly tournament"
Get over yourselves people. You talk about developing your children, which is the ultimate goal right, but your attitude will cripple them.
