I agree...I much prefer the humidity laden streets of Frisco, TX than West Sodom and Gomorrah in Northern CA.
You are a 909er and you are talking $hit about San Francisco? You are a piece of crap did you know that?

Pretend I am an idiot (pretty easy to do) and explain to me exactly what this change means.
There are currently 4 regions.
There are currently 16 teams per age group that play in the "National League" today. And these teams play 7 games over the course of a few weekends. (November and March?).
And to become one of these 16 teams you have to do one of the following:
-Win a Regional Championship (Does this mean State Cup/National Cup?)
-Win or runner up in the previous year National League
-Win a regional league qualifier
Under the new structure - There will be at least 8 new "Conferences" and probably as many as 30?
Does this have any impact on what State Associations do with their season / league games?
This statement sounds like there will be something happening within each regions league/gaming system: "For teams participating in the Conferences (during the 2018-19 soccer season), the long-time linkage with the National Championship Series Regionals and the National League will continue. In addition to the traditional team vs team model of play within each Conference, newly formed club vs club brackets may be offered and would serve as additional pathways to the National League and Regional Championships."
Will State Cup/National Cup be impacted by these changes?
Seems they are pretty excited about the fact that "The Conferences are now under the management umbrella of the highly successful US Youth Soccer National League. League Managers will oversee the day-to-day activities of the Conferences in accordance with National Leagues Policy and the National Leagues Rules and Regulations."

First they assassinated and watered down FWRL in the name of $$$$It seems to me that they just renamed CRL and broke it into smaller pieces to reduce travel. If it does reduce travel, that would be a good thing.
But this is for the "really" elite teams/clubs. The SUPER academy teams.
How about a DA Champions League!!! For only the TOP non-MLS clubs that
need to generate even MORE money.
Wow! Someone’s feelings got hurtYou are a 909er and you are talking $hit about San Francisco? You are a piece of crap did you know that?
That is the best post of the day!I've been working on a graphic flow chart for youth soccer organizations in the US of my own.

Some clubs also have rec teams not under AYSO umbrella, and older rec teams sometimes compete in State Cup after, for example, competing in Presidio A circuits (if they still have those).FIRST, let's get our bearings and understand where everybody is in the "Grand Scheme."

I tried to simplify it by ignoring the miscellaneous recreational leagues, the Cal South signature League, the tops program, Etc.Some clubs also have rec teams not under AYSO umbrella, and older rec teams sometimes compete in State Cup after, for example, competing in Presidio A circuits (if they still have those).

Questions for ya: If a team wins a place in the USYS National Championships via National League, but also wins Cal South's National Cup, what happens? Does that team get to skip the Far West regionals if they want? Or do they automatically have to skip it or have to go? In the case they win both but don't go to the Far West regionals, who takes their spot?@timbuck,
The typical path to the National President's Cup or the National Championship Cup looks like this:

If the winner of CalSouth NC is a NL qualifier for this year's NC Finals or the CRL winner, then the loser of the CalSouth NC goes to FWR.Questions for ya: If a team wins a place in the USYS National Championships via National League, but also wins Cal South's National Cup, what happens?

Got it, thanks. So as I understand it, only one team represents CalSouth in FWR, but there can be multiple CalSouth teams at the National Championships, correct?If the winner of CalSouth NC is a NL qualifier for this year's NC Finals or the CRL winner, then the loser of the CalSouth NC goes to FWR.
If the finalists in the CalSouth NC is a NL qualifier and CRL winner, then they have a tie breaker rules to determine which semi finalist will represent CalSouth in FWR.
Yes, there can be multiple teams. In 2015, my daughter's team went, along with Albion and Carlsbad Elite. Same 3 teams in the final 8 again in 2016. However, in 2017, it was just our team from CalSouth.Got it, thanks. So as I understand it, only one team represents CalSouth in FWR, but there can be multiple CalSouth teams at the National Championships, correct?
Kind of. The winner of CalSouth NatCup can go to FWR if they choose to, even if they are already qualified through National League. DD's team faced this situation two times. The first time they chose to skip FWR. Since league play was over, they had problems finding teams to play to help prepare for the National Championships. The second time, they chose to go to FWR in order to be better prepared for the National Championships. It worked.If the winner of CalSouth NC is a NL qualifier for this year's NC Finals or the CRL winner, then the loser of the CalSouth NC goes to FWR.
If the finalists in the CalSouth NC is a NL qualifier and CRL winner, then they have a tie breaker rules to determine which semi finalist will represent CalSouth in FWR.
