Where's Arsenal going? Isn't Silverlakes in their backyard?
1st annual is always exciting to play in, great fields, lower cost than Surf, no 50 min games, no stay & play restrictions, and it looks like from their website that they have Slammers, Legends, Beach, Wc, Blues, Real So Cal, Eagles, Mvla, Sereno, PLayers, Cda Slammers, Pats, and Del Sol already committed to bringing them their top teams. Going to be an enjoyable weekend in Norco vs Oceanside.Should be good competition for Surf Thanksgiving.
It is a 3 day tournament so my guess is quarter, semi-final, finals format, but probably depends on how many teams per age group?Does anybody know the format of a showcase? Is it just three games per teams, or is it like a regular tournament with semis and a finals games?
Silverlakes: 35-40 minute halves, 1 game a day, more central location. No dirt parking lots. Competition is good for the consumerLove the drama as Silverlakes and Surf duke it out to draw the best of the best to their tournaments! Looks like Silverlakes is winning with the lower cost and no mandated hotel stay.
Showcase format is 4 teams in a bracket. Everybody plays each other once... then go homeIt is a 3 day tournament so my guess is quarter, semi-final, finals format, but probably depends on how many teams per age group?

It's a showcase for players...not a tournament for elimination. Winning and losing matters less to club and coach...it will be all about getting the players a great experience for exposure to college coaches.No elimination games? If that is true, this is a dumb format.
The only thing that could save this tourney is if every player goes home with a tiny trophy that says something like: "Participant", "I am #1", "Mommy and Daddy Love Me", etc.
