1) 4 DPL Teams made it to the round of 16, not 2 (BEACH, LAGSD, REAL SOCAL & LEGENDS).
2) 2 DPL Teams made it to the Quarters (REAL & LEGENDS) not 1.
The framework of your post was very “troll’ish”.
Girls DPL?

In the effort to not appear troll'ish in the future, what does that entail? Just want to make sure I stay out of trouble and not annoy anyone
If genuinely concerned, go back and read the post objectively. Otherwise, don’t sweat it, all good.
And now zero DPL teams have made the semis. The final four teams are:
Legends FC East-Riverside G04 (SCDSL Champions 3rd Place)
vs.
CDA FC Slammers - HB G04 Melendez EGSL (SCDSL Champions 6th Place)
Arsenal FC G04 ECNL (ECNL 8th Place) [Is this their actual ECNL roster?]
vs.
Fullerton Rangers G04 White (CSL Gold 1st Place)
There was an unfortunate draw for DPL in that their two top U14 teams (Beach and Legends) ended up playing each other in the round of 16. The winner of that game (Legends) then faced the top CSL Team (Fullerton) in the quarters and lost. Real (DPL #6) lost their quarterfinal game on PKs. Pateadores (DPL #3) had finished 2nd in their Natl Cup pool (with 2 wins), but failed to advance as a wild card.

Anyone hear about any changes for the upcoming year?
I also heard rumblings of no high school but am awaiting official word.
There’s miles of posts about this in the DA thread.
SoCal 03 pilot league mirrors DA, is called DPL and no high school. Same weekends and game day as other DA teams. Will Play in winter and college showcases.
Three big clubs pull out of DA because of no high school, lots of olders choosing ECNL over DA because of no high school, and now this? Dumbest idea yet. The one advantage a DA2 player had over DA was that they at least had the option of playing high school and now it’s taken away. I feel for these kids because they may have another tough decision to make.

So the rumor/word is DPL is going to be an actual league next year? More than just the 9 games they played. Home and away type league.
Anyone else here that?
That would seem to coincide with the 03DPL band. They must be playing more than 9 or so games this coming year.

They will play the exact same schedule as the DA age groups, with the exception of Playoffs. There will be no standings for this league. So not just a 9 game exhibition, but not quite DA.

I believe there will be standings. They have a website
that says standings. If it is on the internet it must be true.....I believe there will be standings. They have a website
The pilot this year doesn’t have standings and we were told no standings. Hopefully that’s bad info.

If the DPL pilot program for the 03's limits outside competition, does that mean that the 03's will only be allowed to play in two showcases the entire year?
If so, the Pilot program limits the 03's exposure to college coaches during their sophomore year of high school. Given the recent NCAA recruiting changes, seems to me that the 03's in the Pilot Program will miss out on a lot of exposure to college coaches during arguably their most important year for recruiting.
The Pilot Program should increase exposure to college coaches - not limit it.

If the pilot teams get the same level of attention as the other DA teams they will likely get more attention from coaches in those two events then other teams (excluding ECNL) get in an entire year of other events. I have also seen college coaches attending DA league games. Never saw that elsewhere.
