XF Challenge is now Surf

[Guest]

You are a sellout Bernie. Boooo!

The legendary Bernie doing what Bernie does “ winning “

Anyone who doesn’t understand this simply isn’t intelligent. All of these leagues and their “showcases” are killing local tournaments. Bernie needs the Surf name to keep getting teams and college coaches. Now he’ll get a bunch of teams from Spokane, Oregon Surf, Titans, Montana, and probably a couple really good California ones. It’s smart. Period.

If you think Bernie has time to troll these boards you are even dumber than I thought. He’s not running a trash club like Rory.

It doesn’t mean that all. Do less moron.

Look at the surf operating manual for franchises (I was a manager at a club that formerly was the local surf franchise). Only ONE seasonal surf branded tournament per region. Assuming XF is the winning franchise, Titans-Surf will have to call theirs something like "Titans Summer Slam" sponsored by Wester Surf (all in lower font). Now who is the moron?

[Guest]

Great for you, but nobody that is any good has any interest in playing titans.

$20 titans 07's dont play in the top bracket of their own (i guess xf challenge is now the titans/surf/gunners/liverpool challenge? Sounds impressive.

There is no Titans anymore.

I hope Adam didn't get rid of all those titans banners he used to have his teams set up for games to advertise the club. Looks like he is going to be able to reuse them.

Maybe WWS and XF decided together that this was a good idea for both clubs - but for different reasons.

The nationwide Surf brand "forces" teams to attend which helps XF.

WWS gets the visibility of a big tournament carrying the Surf brand without the costs of hosting it.

Every other local club is now squeezed. If this was a business it would be a brilliant move...oh wait, it is.

They will have the Surf Invitational in August, Copa Surf in February, and most normies will associate Surf Cup NW with the local Surf team. It’s funny when you think about it.

Bernie here. You guys have no idea. I'm 5 steps ahead.

Of course he has the time to do it. He's always been on these boards. Nice try, Bernie Balls.

To play who though? What's the allure? Are you saying Bernie will allow his ECNL teams to play? If not, how is this any different?

Wishful thinking. You are naïve.

[Guest]

This is great for Surf and bad for XF.

[Guest]

Bernie needed to find a way to monetize his work and found it. He will sell XF to Surf and retire.

good bye xf. Will be interesting to see how this plays out with LWYSA.

Adam showed him the way.
