How’s the 2023-24 season going?

Let's add some fake news to the pot folks. As playoffs near, what would you be willing to pay for a spot on the team? Get the popcorn out folks as I stir the pot some more. Trust me, these weren't the only cheaters in the game.

$200,000 for a spot on the Men's team and a spot on the woman's team. Jorge needed a favor from AC and in return she gets a little flavor. Yes, in 2017 AC came to run a youth soccer practice to look at a goat but didn't like what she saw so she gave the spot to a better player😂 One of the students that Salcedo is accused of fraudulently endorsing as a soccer recruit is Lauren Isackson, who was listed as a captain for Woodside Girls Soccer Club in San Mateo County, Calif. However, there are no records that Isackson played for Woodside from 2012-2016, as her UCLA profile stated.

nobody should be surprised with any of this.
 
I don’t really understand the roster move rules for ECNL playoffs. Can anyone explain them? I thought the deadline to join a playoff roster for a new team that is going to Seattle has passed, but this thread and a conversation I had yesterday suggest players can still be added under limited circumstances?

Unfortunately after 5/1 up to 2 players can be added to a roster. There is a Playoff Roster "Freeze" date but according to the ECNL rules that date needs to be communicated by the ECNL so basically it means 2 kids can be added at any point. I doubt this roster freeze date actually exists. The only thing they did from last year was add the note that if you sign after 5/1 you have to play for that team the next year but everyone knows that can be manipulated and whos really enforcing it anyway. Considering every NL team has a RL team there shouldn't be any additions after 5/1 for any reason. Its only there to stack up teams for playoffs.

Thanks! So, Beach and Blues, for example, really can qualify for Seattle this weekend and then use that fact to recruit up to two more players to their roster from other ECNL teams that didn’t make it as long as they commit to their roster for next season too.

I see what you’re saying about not being how it should be but that seems like reason enough for teams, even Blues, to want to qualify.

Blues have already locked in their spot. I guess your right it could be used as a recruiting tool to come join a playoff team for kids that are on teams that didn't make it this year.

How many players are they planning to take? This could actually be a great opportunity for players who never been to playoff to get a taste, especially if they are taking a skeleton crew. Less players means more minutes on the field.
