Surf Cup's Fate
- Thread starter oh canada
- Start date
Surf had a an overwhelming number of applications. Teams want to go. If your team is not in shape, maybe your kids/coach need to get after it. My kid's team is just fine. Played games, healthy. Properly trained. No need for guest players. Attendance is nearly perfect. It sounds like your team was not accepted and you are now sour grapes. Kids mental health is worth a lot to people. If Newsom let us play games in state we would not have to leave. He is pushing us to travel.

Just wait until CNN runs with the story again. The liberal media will be seeking jail time for the Directors of Surf Cup.
Not what I'm saying. Clubs have a responsibility to obtain liability insurance for tournaments. Parents need to take responsibility for their own choices and risks. I know its part of the entitlement culture to play the victim and look for someone to blame (with deep pockets or insurance), but I wish it would stop.
You have no clue about what I would do or not do. My daughter was born premature and had to be resuscitated at birth from a botched amnio by the doctor in addition to cutting her head open in the crash C section ( a scar she still has but fortunately hidden along her hairline). I could have easily walked away with $$$ but chose not to pursue the matter.
Yea, not happening. RSL - AZ may be interested but many clubs will likely not lift a finger to help administrate this thing. This is a nice to have, not a must have. The collateral damage of having Surf could jeopardize AZ run tournaments in FEB. I would wager that many AZ clubs wouldn't have their feelings hurt if Surf just went away.
Every public health official in AZ is saying this is a bad idea. ICU beds today are at 92%. Cannon fodder for our media. Hospitals don't make as much money when their ICU beds are full of CV19 patients. They are screaming about this as well, but don't be mistaken, they are screaming because they don't want to draw down on elective surgeries and have to expand bed capacity. Spend money to not make money is not their thing.
The more I think about it, the more I realize that Surf is just being an a$$hole and a bully. And it goes without saying that I am a fan of playing.

No, I just choose to teach my children that sometimes you have to make difficult decisions and not to let FOMO for them or their parents drive their decision. Surf had an overwhelming number of applicants because every other tournament in California was cancelled. Davis Legacy appears to have finally given up and decided all tournaments are cancelled until May 2021. Again, if people choose to act in their self interest and travel to AZ without respecting tomorrow's lockdown for Southern California it's their decision to make. All others ask is that they respect the guidelines and quarantine upon their return, including staying away from work, stocking up on food before they return, not attending school if their school has in person learning, and not attending training for 2 weeks. As for the tournament as a whole, sure they will still have some teams that can travel without going against their local health department guidelines, and if they do then go ahead and have a smaller tournament. Just don't be fooled into thinking they have anything other than their own financial interest in mind.

Umm. I’m the manager of my team and I can assure you they charged our team when we were accepted to the original tournament That was supposed to be held in July. Our credit card was charged in June. They kept rolling over our acceptance and then for this new tournament they just gave us a coupon code that we used when we registered and they transfer the money over. I know what I’m talking about But Obviously you don’t.

Oh boy, I know this announcement is really hard for you to accept because you put so much time and effort into explaining why Surf cup was canceled this year but look at the bright side ok? You are safe and sound inside your isolation bubble and you can still see a lot of the great matches with the top teams via video. They may even have live stream going. If you close your eyes and listen to the sounds of kids enjoying playing the sport they love all the hurt feelings you are experiencing now will go away.
Boy are you misinformed. Hospitals make way more money with covid patients with federal reimbursement. That's why everyone tests positive and dies from covid even if you get shot in a robbery. Have plenty of family in medical and they all said the China virus box gets checked yes for everyone no matter what. China virus very profitable for hospitals. I disagree with your club opinion also. My experience tells me that when it comes to clubs helping each other such as participating in each others yearly tournaments or making some venues available for a weekend, etc... soccer becomes a tight knit group and collaboration makes for great youth soccer experiences.
They are working with RSL-AZ afaik, and in return RSL-AZ expects acceptance of their teams (now and in the future I'd expect).
Life is hard, it's even harder when you're stupid.
Wow, thanks for sharing. That is one hell of a fighter!!! My dd was all ready to go two days before her natural birth was supposed to happen. However, she kicked her legs off mommy's tummy and did a flip and we had a C section. Holy cow, that was insane and I didn't faint. All woman deserve our honor & respect. Go girls!!!!
Then they are either lying to you or complicit in fraud.
hospitals get federal funding for treating covid patients. That’s how hospitals get paid. If i have my knee repaired my insurance pays the hospital. If my dad does, Medicare pays the bill. That’s how hospitals work. Because treating covid patients means less elective surgeries and other issues that hospitals have to delay or reroute somewhere else, the CARes act is reimbursing for covid treatment.
If the “plenty” of family you have working in hospitals knows of hospitals erroneously checking the box for covid when it’s not true, that’s massive fraud and they should turn it in themselves because if they know and don’t do it, they are complicit.
hospitals are hemorrhaging money right now because of the loss of income on standard procedures. Getting reimbursed by the CARES act isn’t highly profitable. Your family is lying. And if they are checking boxes for covid when it isn’t true that’s Medicare fraud and it’s highly illegal.
and there’s no reimbursement if someone dies from covid. Regurgitating trumps insane rally propaganda is so tired. Do better.
I'm going in for hip replacement surgery this Tuesday. Thought I would have difficulty getting in for elective surgery at the hospital but nope schedule was wide open for me to choose and a private recovery room too. If I were you, do some research on hospital covid reimbursement and you will find some interesting statistics. I would post links but they seem to not like non soccer related links here. You are just misinformed so try and do a little better yourself.
No do post the links. Or message me the links.
And one person scheduling an elective surgery and having options is one example. You understand that doesn’t make it universally true right? You know what anecdotal means?
hospitals are losing Billions (with a B) due to covid. This is really well known stuff my guy.

Omg - I'm assuming that everything ended up okay--that sounds terrifying.

I don’t understand this obsession with Surf Cup. What do ULittles gain from this tournament. Also how many college scouts will be attending during the holiday season? I understand that it’s viewed as a prestigious tournament but is it really?

I agree with your sentiment. However, my girls just want to play, anywhere, anyhow. No prestige or college coaches required for enjoyment. Can’t play in California, so the appeal of surf cup this year for them is just hopefully some good, competitive games.
I apologize if you are butt hurt about something. I know snowflakes are delicate. That's terrific your kid is training and playing. All kids in youth sports should be training and playing and also in school. Really no reason for them not to be although a lot of schools are in session around the country and as we all know youth sports are happening all around the country also with the exception of certain socialist controlled states. Kids need to be active and they need to be in school.
