Oopps.. I missed F, and there is no L
but that's how it is supposed to line up
 
The only Championships in Seattle are the 18/19’s. At that age group, Real Co, Hawks, PDA, MVLA, Solar and Beach all have a legit chance at the Title!

Heard a rumor Legends got in as someone may have dropped out. Anyone else hear anything like this?
18/19: PDA and FC Stars out - Legends and Eastside in. I can understand the first 7 seeds - all 7 conference winners (excluding NE and NA since those two winners aren't coming) based on ppg. After that, I can see how MVLA is 8 (based on Champions League Seedings), but UFA at 13 and the rest of the 9-16 seeds ... Maybe they had a draw for the last 8?
 
Teams play three group games. 11 group winners advance to a 4th game along with 5 wildcards. the round of 16 is played in Seattle and the 8 winners advance to Virginia
 
Does anyone know how they picked the groups? In U16, group I has the 5th and 6th seeds, Group E has 3rd and 11th, Group F has 9th and 10th. Shouldn't they all be in separate pots? Here is the breakout of Groups. The lower has score the harder the group.

Heard from a friend that they are spending 9 days in seattle. And then if they move on, another week in VA.
What a "fun" summer.
 
Looks like I used the wrong seedings table. The spread is closer using that one.
Group A 91
Group B 97
Group C 88
Group D 97
Group E 86
Group F 80
Group H 100
Group I 85
Group J 89
Group K 82
 
According to the ECNL website, (8) teams will advance to the finals in Richmond in July. Pool play in Seattle is June 22, 23 and 25.

I’m guessing the (11) pool winners and (5) wildcard teams will advance to play on June 27?

16 teams play on the 27th…with the eight winners advancing to Richmond??

Why would the group A winner (the overall #1 seed) play the #1 wildcard in the knockout round and not the #5 wildcard?

Seems like a lazy oversight. So being the 5th seed in Group E is actually is the most advantageous slot. Wierd.

Being the 5th overall seed and being slotted Group E is actually much more advantageous than being the 1st overall seed in Group A? Wierd.

Well, they just updated their site and I can say this was not what they had documented a few weeks.
I know because we talked about how odd the bracketing looked with the 2nd place teams.
Here is the old file that is still open on my computer screen

Here is the link to the current file on their site.
About 1/2 way down under Champions league advancement and under Champions league round of 16 they show the match ups.
 
Check out a new rankings site, upper90rankings.com, they have ranked every ECNL girls team per league and showcase play using a SRS score and have posted the strength of each bracket for Champions League. Who is in the bracket of death, who has the easiest bracket? Here is the breakdown of the 08 Champions League Brackets:
2008 Champions League.png
 
So how do the Champions league draws work? Three group games and then what?

For example 2007 has 44 teams in 11 groups.
The top 11 bracket winners, and the 5 next highest wildcard in points advance to the single elimination knock-out round of 16...The 8 winners then advance to the National Championship tournament in Richmond Virginia July 8th-11th
