Wouldn't they accept any DA team that applied?
Most DA teams did not apply. I'm not sure why...

Not sure if additional teams will be added? Any DA clubs that are not on the list attending? These are the only accepted clubs listed at this time.
I thought Legends was doing their tournament at Silverlakes the same weekend? https://www.silverlakestournaments.com/silverlakes-cup/

The LAGSD team will be in England during this time

That's a nice mix of So Cal and out of region teams. Given that the So Cal teams will see each other twice during the regular season, it will be great for them to match up with out-of-region teams.
I suspect that there will be a similar number of Southwest Region teams at the Silverlakes event in the DA division. I have also heard that a number of out-of-region clubs have committed to that event also. Between the two events, there will be a ton of DA talent in So Cal.
Personally, I'd like to see our So Cal DA teams match-up with out-of-region teams at these events. They'll see enough of each other in the coming years.

DA age group 03/04 are scheduled for SilverLakes on July 28-30 and Surf Cup on July 28-29, 30 a rest day, 31-Aug 1. If your DD is an 04 rising 8th grader it's not a do or die showcase. As for 2003 9th graders it an important year though.
I wouldn't be surprised if college coaches watch 3 days at Silverlakes from July 28-30 and then head to Surf Cup for the July 31-Aug 1 games.

Thanks for the list. MVLA Barcelona, Davis Legacy Red, and Santa Rosa United Gold are all ECNL teams from NorCal.

Thanks! I knew MVLA was ECNL but I did not want to assume anything.
It will be interesting to see how all these teams will be grouped. Are they not going to group any of the DA and ECNL teams together?
DA teams aren't allowed to play non-DA teams. It's a shame because I know a couple of the teams that I see listed on the DA list are about to get blasted when they play at surf. It would nice to have the best play against the best, but it won't happen in today's landscape.

This Tournament is just not the same...use to be Best of the Best. It's more like Vegas/Dallas Cup. Every Flight 1 team makes it. It's a "cash cow" for Surf, this basically pays for DA for their club. Really don't blame them, the money they bring in crazy. Top brackets are still great. Guess will see tons of Surf Cup t-shirts and hoodies around town...
Yes it was really special when it was actually a qualification event. I understand making it more inclusive on many levels, but I wish that, then they made the decision to broaden it, they at least stuck with a Flight One Bracket where everyone actually qualified based upon some actual RULES of qualification (Surf Cup Winner, Manchester winner, State/National Cup semis or quarters minimum).
They ruined it when they started accepting teams into flight one who had not really qualified but were just "considered good". Then it just becomes political as to who gets into flight 1 or 2 or 3 or however many they end up having.
