The Las Vegas Mayors Cup appears to have almost a 1,000 teams registered. What resource do you think they will use to flight all these teams in each age group? Do they have the field capacity? What about the hotel options for the stay and play, will they drop your team if you do not book a hotel through them?

Californians are coming with money to burn. They could all care less since this might be their only opportunity at a cash grab this big for youth soccer. Expect smaller fields and shorten games and probably some sub par fields to make it happen.

Money to burn? Yep.

Shorter games? sure. But tournaments have too many games in too few days anyway.

Only shot? Nope. Plenty of teams don’t really have a good plan for winters. I can easily imagine returning in 2021 if everyone enjoys the trip.

Can't wait to have an 8am game and a 10:50pm game on Saturday!

I bet the organizers are more competent than that.

I can imagine 7AM and 3 PM. Or 2 PM and 9 PM. We’ll deal. They may also be stuck rejecting some teams, or sending lower divisions really far away.
 
Probably not all teams will get accepted. There are plenty of fields and hotels to accommodate a large tournament. If they use James Regional, Bettye Wilson, KZ, Heritage and the smaller complexes it will work but will be very spread out.

I was 97% sarcastic, 3% hopeful that will never happen.

What happens if the parents pitch in and get an AirBnb instead? Is the team not accepted into the tournament anymore?

Teams that have registered are now receiving threatening emails about stay and play. Either get the rooms or your games will not be scheduled.

No! you just have to do the buyout which is typically about 50 bucks per kid.
We looked into the Airbnb thing and it is limited to the number of people at one residence (covid rule) 14 max even if it's 10K sq ft with 10 bedrooms.
 
1345 teams as of mid-day Oct 30th. Forget the fields. How are they going to get that many refs for that many games?

Why you think they will accept every team that applied?
I would think this number of teams will be 500-600 when it's all said and done.

They have a LOT of brackets on their got soccer Home page. Maybe they wont accept them all, but they are going to try.
I guess it will depend on how many teams they put in each bracket

You ask the applying clubs if they know any refs willing to come.

If you're smart, you ask that question before you tell anyone that they are accepted.
