That article (looks like it was written by Crush) makes it hard to tell much of anything about the facts of the situation. Is it true that college players are not allowed on ECNL teams?

If your a college player even if your allowed to, why would you play in an ECNL showcase and take a roster spot away from a current player. Go play WPSL or UWS. That’s what those leagues are for.

I looked it up. Rule 2.12.4 says that college players are allowed as long as they are identified as Discovery Players, about which there are many rules.

U17 SW division after day 2.

Blues 2 wins
LAFC 2 wins
Real So Cal 2 losses
Surf 1 win, 1 loss
AZ Arsenal 2 wins
Slammers 1 win, 1 loss
LA Breakers 1 win, 1 loss
Phx Rising 2 wins
Arsenal FC 2 losses
Heat 1 win, 1 loss

Overall 12 wins, 8 losses

I think the team in the actual playoffs that goes deep is LAFC.

Are any of the games live streamed? GA did a great job with live streaming all of their games.

If they live stream then college coaches may opt to stay home and watch games online and we'd all be denied the pleasure of a Tweet every hour about how many college coaches are at the event. No, can't have that.

They got caught being dumb, playing girls already in college in a showcase designed to help girls get into college. Why? Because that is what dumb people do.

No one on a u18/19 composite team is attending a showcase to get into college.

GA had live streaming at the 04G showcase and our 04G team had 90, 56, and 65 coaches at our games respectively. So, not sure your argument has merit.

No need to live stream, college coaches are in Florida. There’s no substitute for live action. They follow the talent when it’s worth the trip.
 
Safe to say ECNL shouldn't come back to Florida in the summer ever again.

Thanks California! It could have been you

ECNL Clubs and Families –

First and foremost, we would like to thank you for your support and commitment to the ECNL over the past 12 months, in a year of unprecedented challenge and disruption. As you know, these challenges have continued into the ECNL Playoffs over the past few days with periods of heavy rain and winds. We thank you again for your patience through the multiple schedule changes over the past several days, and we also thank the fantastic staff at Premier Sports Complex for their work in managing the fields and working with us through these challenges.

Unfortunately, a State of Emergency has been issued by the State of Florida for the Sarasota / Bradenton area due to tropical storm Elsa in the Caribbean, and the possibility that it impacts our area with high winds and significant rainfall on Tuesday. Beyond this declaration, and regardless of the ultimate classification of this storm, there is a near certainty of more significant rainfall on Tuesday that will make the fields unplayable for Tuesday and Wednesday. Based on this information, we have made the following decisions with respect to the continuation of the ECNL Playoffs:

1. All games today, July 4, will go on as currently scheduled.
CLICK HERE for schedule listing by age and division
CLICK HERE for schedule spreadsheet
July 5th game times and field assignments will be assigned and added to the links above today

2. The following games will be scheduled on Monday, July 5, in the 7:30, 9:30 and 11:30 time slots (specific fields and times will be provided shortly):
U18 Champions League National Championship
U17 Champions League Quarter-Finals
U16 Champions League Quarter-Finals (moved up one day from the 6th)
U15 Champions League Day 3
U17 North American Cup Final
U16 North American Cup Final
Junior Showcase Day 2
U14 Quarter Final (moved up one day from the 6th)
U17 Showcase A Final
U16 Showcase A Final
U17 Showcase B Final
U16 Showcase B Final

3. All other games beyond the above specifically mentioned games have been cancelled.

4. The U15 Quarter-Finals will be moved to Richmond, and the format of the U15 ECNL Finals will be adjusted.

These decisions are very difficult to make. We feel that the above schedule will allow games to be safely played, while also providing significant notice for players and families to schedule earlier departures. Of course, every club and family should prioritize their safety in travel planning, and if a team will not be able to play on Monday, please let us know.

Thank you for your support of the ECNL. We look forward to the 2021-2022 season.
