I didn't sort through every match. Those poor results alone were significant on their own. Further, I didn't say the BEST DPL teams couldn't compete in Champions. I said there is no indication that a MAJORITY of the DPL teams would be particularly competitive in Champions. Your additional game summaries do not refute that statement.Your like a government official or the media. Picking the data that tells your story without looking at all of the data. Go to Youth Soccer Rankings and look at the games the 02 DPL teams have played since last spring. Your conclusions are flawed. On one hand you state that not having the DPL teams has hurt the top brackets of SCDSL and CSL and that DPL has only been a detriment but then you seem to say that these teams would not be competitive with the same top brackets they are hurting. Which is it?
You mention that Real DPL lost to Fullerton Rangers who tied the 5th place SCDSL team. You fail to mention that this is the same Real team that tied Fram just one week later (who is tied at the top of Premier with Fullerton). They also beat Real SCV (3rd in champions) 3-0. This team also lost twice to So Cal Blues ECNL this summer only be one goal! They also beat the 2nd place SCDSL team CDA Slammers in the CRL play in.
Now let's look at Beach. You mention they lost to a 8th place team. You also failed to mention they tied the Champions league 3rd place team just one week later. Eagles and Legends have solid track records also. Albion who is tied for 7th place beat Fram (tied for 1st place in Premier with Fullerton) 1-0 in the same CRL event you were quoting above. Pateadores who are in 9th place beat Slammers ECNL this past summer.
My point is not that the DPL 02 teams are superior nor should they be compared to ECNL. Just that your comment "there is no indication that a majority of the DPL teams would be particularly competitive in the Champions level of SCDSL" is flawed and is based just on the select games you picked to support your premise. I can just as easily pick select games the SCDSL Champions league teams played and make the same case that many of these teams would not be competitive in DPL.
As you clarify, the top DPL team, Real DPL, is 1-1 vs Champions teams, managed a tie vs a CSL Premier team, and lost twice to an ECNL team. Let's assume this proves Real would be competitive (if not dominant) in Champions. Well, Real DPL has CRUSHED some of the other DPL teams with wins of 7-0 and 5-0. What does that say about those weaker DPL teams?
Further, Albion did manage a tight 1-0 win over a good CSL Premier team. But FRAM isn't in Champions so I'm not sure how far that gets you by itself. (Also, Albion has had a tough schedule. Odds are good that they'll still finish in the top half of the DPL standings when all is said and done.)
I agree Eagles and Legends '02 are quality teams and I would expect them to finish in the top half of DPL.
As for Beach, I wouldn't consider a tie vs the 3rd place Champions team and a loss to the 8th place team indicates they would be particularly competitive in Champions. But in any event, they could also end up within the top half of the final standings.
Finally, Pateadores DPL has never played, let alone beaten, the Slammers ECNL team. I imagine you looked at Youthsoccerrankings for that result, but that site is not correct. The team that Pats DPL beat (1-0) was the Slammers ECNL RESERVE team (currently in 7th place in Champions). Pats DPL was eliminated in the quarterfinals of that tournament, which featured a Champions team and an SCDSL Flight 2 team in the championship match. http://events.gotsport.com/events/results.aspx?EventID=57647&Gender=Girls&Age=16
