Hey Tech, how does this tournament seed the teams? I noticed Eagles and Fram Hernandez are already seeded out in the Sweet 16 is that based on their regular season performance?
In the past few seasons, the main page has had a face lift but the rest of the site has remained the same. I tend to agree with you, needs some work, although I find it very easy to navigate, but then again I have a lot of the pages as favorites for tracking purposes.
Not necessarily, used to be that both Eagles and Rangers were traditionally given the Byes after SCDSL was formed, it was quite common for both Eagles & Rangers to be the strongest clubs left after the exodus to SCDSL, especially at the youngers. Over the last few years, other CSL clubs have risen to stake their claim as the pillars of CSL, including Galaxy SD, Albion, FCGS, FRAM, IE Surf, etc.
With teams opting out of League Cup and there being some room for "interpretation" there is some politics involved, but team strength / record are factored in for sure.
Are you familiar with the FA Cup in England or the League Cups in other professional leagues?What is League Cup? Just noticed we are playing in it.
Same format in it's every team from every division in a group round(s), knockout out round tournament that occurs over a month towards the end of league.
Some teams choose not to participate for various reasons, but the opening round round pits the Bronze teams against each other. Typically the opening group round are seeded with the top bronze teams seeded against 1 mid table bronze team and 1 lower level bronze team.
Group winners advance, in addition to the occasional wildcard. 2nd round is also a group round but with the introduction of the Silver / Silver Elite / Gold teams. Similar seeding with the groupings.
3rd round is typically when the knockout round is introduced either as a round of 32 or sweet 16. Some teams may get Byes all the way into these rounds.
Basically everyone against everyone, with the potential for teams from the lowest and highest division facing off and making for great stories and games.

Good Luck to your team as well! First time to Lancaster... Well, be prepared for wind. It's almost always windy. If your games are out on 32, it's a heck of a hike from the parking lot IF you parked in the right lot. It's a huge complex. Any questions, let me know..Good luck to everyone that is playing Cup this weekend. First trip to Lancaster.
Game conditions were great at Lancaster. Grass was a bit thick, which hurt us a bit as we do alot of passing on the ground. We won our first game 5-0, but lost the 2nd 2-0 after no score at half against Central Coast Condors. They were better conditioned then our team, and finally got a couple breakaways with chips over the top to the same girl. She was good sized, fast, and had a cannon for a shot, a very good striker, and their defense stifled our offense all game. After the game our coach talked about adding a day of conditioning. I hope so(I'm not the one out there working my butt off, so sounds good to me. )
)IE Surf Premier RB won both their group games to advance.
Eagles 1-0 IE Surf Battista at halftime.
Battista playing with a lot of heart, Eagles with the pressure.
