I'm sure the answer is somewhere on this board but -- 2012 being the newest 11v11 group to enter ecnl....What are the rules for rostering DPL or GA players for ECNL? Both sides totally allow it? Happens all the time?
ahhh dont give out the clubs secret weapons... Yes they do it and they do it under the Discovery Player rule and its seriously wide open to be abused.

Gotcha...it's happening in the 2012s already (to the surprise of non-ecnl clubs who have players showing up on ecnl rosters)

What's interesting is you can't switch ECNL to ECNL or GA to GA clubs mid season (without club approval). But you can go ECNL to GA or GA to ECNL whenever you want.
If I was a coach I'd be signing up for cross league "friendlies" as much as possible to identify which players to recruit.
yep, they can and they do. Usually though the better player is on the ECNL side "for girls" so its not really that big of an issue in ECNL but if they allow the same thing in GA I could see that being an issue. With the way things work if you really wanted to you could have your entire starting ECNL Playoff roster also be your entire starting ECRL playoff roster and be totally within the rules to do it. The ECNL rules are way to relaxed and even those relaxed rules are not enforced so it is what it is.

Rostering some ECRL players within your own club seems somewhat reasonable (as they are seen as the B team)...but rostering GA/DPL players you've picked up from setting up scrimmages/friendlies and they don't even have to notify their home clubs seems a bit icky but apparently, well-within the rules.
Informing the players club that they're coming from provides no value.
Once clubs figure out that a player is playing with another team/league the coach and doc will make a decision. Either cut the player or try to keep them around. It will all depend on how good the player is and how big of a funnel of talent they have available to fill the void.
Just assume that they'll find out because they always do.
I'm just waiting for a team to use the 30 player roster rule and roster their NL starting 11 on the RL roster so when playoffs come they can just have their starting NL team play in the RL playoffs.

This is not true
yes it is. You can have 30 players on your roster. You can roster your starting 11 ECNL on your ECRL roster of 30 and then bring the ECNL team to the RL playoffs. What's not legal about that?
Technically you can roster 28.
2 have to be Discovery players to have 30.
Not that it really matters.
the ECNL rules say 30. It doesn't say 2 need to be discovery. I know your only supposed to be allowed 2 discovery players per each 30 team roster though.
2.1.3 Roster Maximums. A maximum of thirty (30) players may be rostered on any ECNL Team’s Roster (in any age group)
All I'm saying is the ECNL rules are ridiculous and even those rules are not even followed. With all the money and notice these clubs are getting now from winning I wouldn't be surprised to see more of this happening. One club last year took 6 ECNL players to RL playoffs. It didn't work out for them though they lost and then the RL team blew up because obviously 6 girls that normally played didn't in the playoffs.

Absolutly they are. There are also so many really good teams in SoCal from all the letter leagues, yet only a small amount gets recognized in National Finals. A California League with all the top teams in one league would draw way more attention from recruiters.

Probably the biggest reason letter league teams avoid scrimages against each other like the plague. Also, a lot of paying parents will realize there is absolutly no reason to travel outside of SoCal to play great teams. Lose-Lose for the clubs.

Now that the season is underway and the first "showcase" is done, any thoughts on the 2012s as they have stared their ECNL journey?
Seems that Slammers HBK and SurfSD are the teams to beat. Blues doesn't seem as dominant as they once were...
Based on what result? The draw that Blues had was vs Surf and HBK has not played either team. To say HBK and Surf are the team to beat is a bit premature. Those 3 teams are the ones to beat.Now that the season is underway and the first "showcase" is done, any thoughts on the 2012s as they have stared their ECNL journey?

Last four result between Surf and Bkues
Surf beats Bkues at Club America
Blues beat Surf at Surf Cup
Blues beat Surf at Blues Cuo in pks
Blues and Surf tie last month
The only result I’m aware of recently with HBK , was Blues beating them in PKs in Surf Cup semis , that tournament HBK didn’t concede a goal

Yeah, it's premature...and just an opinion. HBK recently added 3 players that weren't there when they tied at Surf Cup. They seem like pretty impactful players and team should get better as they gel over time. Blues has pretty much the same team they've had for a while and they just don't look as dominant as before from what I've seen. Surf always looks strong and looked to have more dangerous scoring opportunities vs. blues last month.
