G08 State Cup President's Bracket

18 teams, 5 brackets....will it go to a round of 16 or quarterfinals after the round-robin? Group D takes it as the most stacked group!

 

I'm gonna guess it'll go to 8 with bracket C, D, and E winners + 5 wild cards... But who knows...

 

One point of data is that a group of 20 went to a round of 16 last year.

 

My thinking is Winners from A and B plus top 2 from C, D and E move on to round of 8.

 

Carlsbad10, who's going to cover the team now that the coach is gone?

 

We just found this out a few days ago. Curious how is it that you are aware of his departure? Two different coaches will be handling team through State Cup.

Nice split between Galway Downs and Silverlakes

 

Strikers win again? Pet not coaching strikers anymore?

 

Are Galaway downs/Silverlake facilities turf or natural grass...or both?

 

Silverlakes has 4 artificial turf fields and and 19 natural grass with great drainage.

 

Nota bene: The "strength of the wolf" quote comes not from NC State, but from Rudyard Kipling.

Thanks.

 

What are chances of Friday rain cancelling out Saturday games at Galway Downs?

 

Do they cancel if it rains?

 

Unlikely... last year, the teams were playing in 60mph winds and rain where the ball would blow off the field anytime it was placed on the ground!

 

The chances are very, very, very high. The rain coming this weekend will likely close all facilities. Rain of 1 inch or more on Friday at SoCal, Silverlakes and Galway. I'm calling it. No games because fields will be underwater.

 

Galway is 39 acres of grass.

 

Just got word from our team manager that an email was sent out stating games are canceled this weekend.
