GU13 NWCL Predictions

[Unregistered]

It would seem to be VT Reds and Eugene per:

Rule 304: Point System

The NWCL shall operate under a point system. The point system shall award three points for a win, one point for a tie and no points for a loss.
In the result that a team or teams play a different number of league games, if the team with the additional game or games finishes in the top two positions towards the playoff round. The following will happen:
• The total points accumulated by that team will be divided by the number of games
played and then multiplied by the number of games of the other total game participants.
• Goals for and against will also be calculated in the same format as above.

Thank you! Congrats to both teams!

Semifinal Match-up?

Flight A:
1) WPFC Black
2) Crossfire A

Flight B:
1) Vancouver Timbers
2) Eugene MFC

Does anyone know how the Semis work? As in who plays who?

Is it:
WPFC vs. Eugene MFC
Vancouver Timbers vs. Crossfire A

or is it:

WPFC vs. Crossfire A
Vancouver Timbers vs. Eugene FC

It should be VT vs Eugene and WPFC vs Xfire

While the standings don't show it, I believe Crossfire finished first in Flight 1 because they played fewer games and have slightly higher points per game. So, based on the rules, the standings should be:

Flight A
1) Crossfire A
2) WPFC

Flight B
1) VUSA Timbers
2) EMSC Athletica

The rules don't state who plays whom in the semis and I don't remember how they did it last year. If #1 of Flight A plays #2 of Flight B, and vice versa, it would be Crossfire vs. Athletica and Timbers vs. WPFC. If it is #1 vs #2 within each Flight, it would be Crossfire vs. WPFC and Timbers vs EMSC.

Last year my son's team finished second and played the first place team in their own bracket for the semis.

That's correct. You play the team in your own bracket, presumably so the top team from each bracket ends up in the final. Not necessarily the top 2 teams in the league but...

Does anyone know where the semi/finals are being played?
I had heard they are in PDX this year? If so where? THPRD?

I heard there were some issues regarding LOs points and that they might be the team advancing. Has a final decision been made?

If true, that would be a complete injustice to EMFC. Don't they have to follow their own rules?

One would think, however, this is youth soccer!
Rules = Guidelines and can be altered as the powers see fit.
Why would the NWCL be any different then the OPL or RCL or PSPL or OYSA or ...

more to the story?

If the NWCL had told LO that the "extra" game would not count against them then if you back out the numbers of that "extra" game maybe LO goes thru based on 6 game stats vs. 7?

yes, but why enter it in on the standings if it didn't count? That does not make sense. The rules clearly state that if there is an extra game played they would divide the total points by their games played and multiply by the number of games the other teams played to find the average points.

If that game were the crossfire or nova game, then they would move through.

remove the crossfire game and they move through based on points. remove the fc nova game and they move through based on goal differential.

i would rather watch emfc vs timbers

The problem is that nobody told EMFC that the Nova game wouldn't count. Had they known they would haveattempyed to score one more goal instead of calling off the dogs when they had a three goal lead on Nova Pink.

Doesn't that extra game inheritantly disadvantage LO. Why would they agree to it?
