for SW region all ECNL games played outside of Ca?

Think so per the email. And, in accordance with out of state laws regarding C19.

It’s not a full schedule it only pertains to each specific team. All it says is who we are playing and the day. No location or time yet.


So, there is a ECNL schedule that for Calif teams gives the opponents name and day ( evidently starting in Oct ) but no location.

So based on that we have 3 possible scenarios :
#1 Calif teams are only scheduled to play AZ teams on the schedule
#2 Scheduled Games where Ca teams play Ca teams will be cancelled if Calif still does not allow games.
#3 Scheduled Games where Ca teams play Ca teams will be played in Arizona if Calif still does not allow games.

#1 makes sense
#2 & #3 depend on are there Ca teams scheduled to play CA teams and if yes ,
does the email say that scheduled games will be played even if Calif still does not allow games ?
If not I my guess is those games will be cancelled.

I'm only trying to understand what the schedule means . If someone who knows will clarify , I would appreciate it.

Ha! I like your charting. We are scheduled to play against AZ and NV teams. Sorry I can not offer an explanation more than that to answer scenarios #2 and #3.

So in other words, Arizona was underreporting the severity of the situation and are now correcting the record.

More mistakes made by the reporting agencies. We’ve seen this in almost every state at some point.

at Least they stated the reasoning for the “spike”....back to soccer

The only way to make #3 work would be if they are smart about it. For example:

If they scheduled something like this:

Sat game 1: Pateadores @ AZ Arsenal
Sat game 2: FCGS @ Phoenix Rising

Sun game 1: Pateadores vs FCGS (at one of the two AZ locations)
Sun game 2: AZ arsenal vs Rising

That way two birds are killed with one stone and traveling to AZ to play a Cal team is not "that" bad.

Those are not on the placeholder schedules I've seen, both CA away weekend games vs home state teams.

Scheduling CA teams to play other CA teams out of state on the scale needed for ECxx seems like a very tall task given that some facilities are still not even fully open and have other local clubs and leagues that would take priority or have already booked.

The place holder schedules (been out since August, couple revisions) are somewhat wishfull thinking for the CA teams,. Im not sure how many weekends it will take to play all the out of state teams but after 3-4 weeks it will be done. Giving up home games to play other local teams out of state, traveling, costs, and time involved will be a hard sell.

When there on the web site under schedule with actual dates, time, and fields then it's on.

Usclub is under a bit of heat in california, the don't ask don't tell things receiving mixed results. Posting schedules now will pretty much conced that their generic protocols & return to play haven't been followed according to local and state guidance.

The speak easy scheduling is fine but let's call it what it is.

I Agree and as I mentioned in another post, the club failed to mention the no spectators in AZ, no big deal for us i'm sure kids and coaches will prefer it that way, but oh boy will it piss off some parents.

Side note, @lafalafa you always have great information and are one of the few people I return to the forum to hear from. This entire forum has gone downhill but glad to hear from a handful of people on here still.

Guess we continue to wait and see what happens.... like we have been since March.

Arizona parent here. Our ECNL team has played in 1 tournament (spectators allowed) and played Rebels and Blues (spectators allowed).

This weekend we Played Legends DA, City and Royals (spectators allowed). Schools starts back tomorrow.

The Gov is meeting tomorrow to possibly remove mask mandate.

AZ has already held 3 big tournaments and spectators have been allowed at all of them.

I would say about 10% of parent even wore masks at all

AZ is certainly more open than many places. Some cities/fields are more restrictive than others. Generally speaking masks and social distancing are highly encouraged. We've played at 5 different locations over this past month, each one is different.

Were parents allowed on the sidelines at Reach 11 for the Cactus Kickoff? I thought they had established a buffer around all playing surfaces?

Sorry My DD team didn’t play in the Cactus Cup. They played a few GA teams from CA.

Parents are definitely not right on the sidelines like before. They are required to be off the grass completely but at most locations but no one was enforcing this rule.

I saw a few pics from Reach and parents were definitely back off the field. But can’t say for sure
 
Just got back from Cactus Cup. Parents were on same side which was the perimeter side all the way around. Social distancing was impossible but not that anyone cared or tried. Mask were there just for the field marshalls. Felt like a kid trying get something passed the hall monitor. Coaches did a surprisingly good job of keeping their masks on. Players..not so much but no one cared. Everyone got a friendly reminder Saturday night to follow the guidelines. Didn't change much. I'll be honest....if i got covid this past weekend, it was worth it to see my kid and her friends play again.

As previously stated by someone else option#3 is becoming a reality. Also heard from a friend on another team that Surf was trying to put together christimas miracle and be allowed to use their fields at Polo Fields even if CA is still closed.

League starts October 24th.
 
I wonder then if ECNL Phoenix is going to still happen mid Nov? Sounds like it might. I worry for all Cali teams playing at that thing in terms of injury. Many teams not even able to scrimmage with restrictions in place. If those are some team's first games, it's a recipe for disaster.

There were buffers, as stated, with maps on the RSL site showing where spectators should/could be. Marshalls were making sure parents adhered. Mask wearing wasn't generally enforced, but probably 50/50. We did have a full court press on Sat evening at one of the venues where RSL coaches were flying around telling everyone to get masks on and social distance, as the police were doing a check to ensure everything was compliant. I never saw the police, but parents were cool about it.

All in all, I'd say that there were less spectators than normal (I judge that by the parking lots), but everything was cool.

Yes the Showcase is on...... 1 game per day I don't see an issue at all....... now these tourneys that have been going on the past couple of weeks with some teams playing 3 games in an 18 hour period that is real bad and reckless.....
