If you are not an Academy team it is possible to fall a spot even if you win 2 since I am trying to fit the non Academy teams into the rankings. Here, IE Surf fell not because of anything they did but because Beach got moved up. It's also possible to move up even though you do nothing special if another team above you gets moved down.Question: is it possible to drop in ranking if you won both games you played this weekend?
You're correct LA...although standings and W/L are not supposed to matter, it is interesting to note that Legends FC is in 1st place across all age divisions in the new Girls DA (or just out of 1st place by a fractional %). I guess it is pretty easy to figure out why the ECNL clubs didn't want Legends to crash their party over the past few years. Looks like the party is just starting for some, ending for others.

also eagles, blues, and west coast...all ecnl clubs, and pretty good ecnl clubsBut understand, Legends has had the easiest schedule of all SW teams so far this year - Burlingame, Albion, Eagles, SC Del Sol, Lamorinda wins are nothing to get excited about.
Kudos to Legends flying high in the USSDA...when everyone thought that this might be the answer to our soccer problem, we create a league that provides a platform for more of the same. Nothing against Legends but the approach is more of the same ol bigger, faster, stronger to succeed. Maybe that was the plan all along?
Agree. IDK anything about MAP's DD but if she is who you say she is, I would rather my DD learn to play against her and learn how to battle that kind of player (especially during the recruitment years) than run over "skinny" kids to no relevant end IMHO.I watched a top DA team this weekend and the girls scoring all their goals have no future after club soccer (unless they learn to play) when they go against players like MAPs daughter instead of the skinny kids they were running over
I was just shaking my head left to right.
How do you know it wasn't right to left?
Agree more of the same. Parents want the wins - most of the members on here only talk about the wins, etc. I watched a top DA team this weekend and the girls scoring all their goals have no future after club soccer (unless they learn to play) when they go against players like MAPs daughter instead of the skinny kids they were running over. Everyone was saying "look at how good that girl is", etc. and I was just shaking my head left to right.
Who sets the schedule, please be specific. Why has one club played 9 games while some only 5 or 6?Updated through 10/17
Some big games in DA really changes the table. I have included DA team records and goals for/against here now.
1. SD Galaxy Academy (4-0-2; 10,4) – Only undefeated Academy team takes the top spot with key tie against Surf. Big difference from the 7-1 loss at Surf cup. Had this team highly ranked to start the season, but I never thought they would get to #1.
2. Legends Academy (4-1-1; 24, 8) – The top teams are so close and Legends pulls off minor upset against Blues. The top scorers on both teams did not disappoint as both 13 and 17 found the net, but Legends found it one more time.
3. Blues Academy (5-1; 22, 2) – From clear number 1 to number 3 in a week. Still a formidable team with a great record and strong defense.
4. Surf Academy (3-1-2; 13, 8) – So talented, but not putting up the results. They are still just a few wins away from taking the number 1 spot.
5. San Diego Navy – Still dominating the 2002 Champions Division at SCDSL.
6. Beach Academy (4-1-1; 11,7) – Team had one tough loss, but has turned it on since. Biggest mover on the Board as they keep winning.
7. Arsenal ECNL – Tie with Strikers keeps them where they are.
8. Strikers ECNL – Another top ECNL team that knows how to win. They had one of the strongest teams last year. While they lost a little talent, they still are very strong. Tie with Arsenal keeps them where they are.
9. Albion Academy (3-1-2; 6,8) – Another win pushes them up the list.
10. W. Coast Academy (3-3-1; 12, 11) – Win over hapless LA Premier and loss to del Sol knocks them down several notches.
11. I.E. Surf Premier – Still dominating CSL. Perfect season looks likely.
12. TVH Hawks – The top 2003 SCDSL team is tearing up the league (Navy is playing and destroying in the 02 bracket). Tie with Slammers moves them down a notch. Still likely to win SCDSL. Great performance thus far in CRL as well.
13. Slammers Academy (3-2-1; 8,8) -- Potential to shoot up the list with a few good wins.
14. LA Galaxy Academy (3-2; 14,10) – Close loss to Albion pushes their record and ranking down to where it likely should be.
15. Del Sol Academy (3-3; 19, 17) – Nice weekend gets them back to 500.
16. Crescenta Valley – 29 goals for and 0 against. Still impressive even if it is against weaker competition.
17. Slammers ECNL – Slammers B team is gaining on its sister team with win over Surf.
18. Del Mar Sharks ECNL – A lot of potential to improve.
19. Surf ECNL – Not the result they were hoping for this weekend.
20. Real So Cal Academy (2-4; 4,9) – Another loss makes them clearly a bottom 4 Academy team.
21. Blues ECNL – Nice weekend could be the start of a turn around.
22. LA Premier Academy (0-6; 3, 20) – They get the gift of Eagles next weekend to hopefully turnaround their season.
23. Rebels -- Another close loss to IE Surf keeps them where they are.
24. San Diego United Black – 30 goals in 7 games. They are in the wrong league. Looking forward to League Cup.
25. Slammer VT -- 2nd place in Champions. Tie against Hawks puts them on the list.
Honorable mentions: San Diego Orange, CZ Elite, AC Brea, BYSC, Santa Monica United, Simi Valley Eclipse, Beach Lohn, Slammers HB, Murrieta Surf, Slammers Whittier Alvarez, SGV Surf, Notts, Pats Academy, Eagles Academy
Was it this same SDSC team that lost to LAGSD’s 03 DPL team yesterday?Updated through 10/17 (Added Records of Non-DA teams,) Agree or Disagree, Great List keep it going..
Some big games in DA really changes the table. I have included DA team records and goals for/against here now.
1. Legends Academy (5-0-1; 24, 8) – The top teams are so close and Legends pulls off minor upset against Blues. The top scorers on both teams did not disappoint as both 13 and 17 found the net, but Legends found it one more time. Had Legends losing a game, which was incorrect. Undefeated, best record, and beat former number one, they deserve the top spot. They still have some of the tough teams to play, so they will have to work to hold onto the top spot. The team definitely can score.
2. SD Galaxy Academy (4-0-2; 10,4) – One of two undefeated Academy teams gives them the #2 spot with key tie against Surf. Big difference from the 7-1 loss at Surf cup. Had this team highly ranked to start the season, but I never thought they would get this close to #1.
3. Blues Academy (5-1-0; 22, 2) – From clear number 1 to number 3 in a week. Still a formidable team with a great record and strong defense.

5. San Diego Navy(6-1-0; 22, 3) – Still dominating the 2002 Champions Division at SCDSL.
6. Beach Academy (4-1-1; 11,7) – Team had one tough loss, but has turned it on since. Biggest mover on the Board as they keep winning.

CRL I believe.I assume not, the SDSC team talked about here is SCDSL, so they couldn't have played the DPL team.
There were a couple of CRL games this weekend. So it may be.CRL I believe.
