Is Surf Cup happening?

EOTL said:
No s**t. Americans don’t get to have nice things because too many of you are idiots. If you want to have soccer tournaments and in-person school, stop complaining about the things that are necessary to make it happen.

It surprises me anyone believed Surf Cup would happen. It is absolute folly to hold a youth soccer tournament right now. California’s daily death rate right now is the highest it has ever been.

You need a parade, sweeheart?

STFU. If you want to know who has the interests of minorities in mind, look at who’s voting for whom.

Annnndddddd once again, the post has gone political. This is one of the issues in the world today. Can't have a conversation about anything, or with anyone, without politics and the "I'm right you're wrong" agenda. Every post on the blogs these days turns to liberal v conservative in some nasty way, shape or form.

These are discussions about youth soccer people. Many of us come on here to AVOID the news and the constant rhetoric and to read about soccer. Not which candidate is better than another or who supports protests or BLM or ALM, defund or defend the police, etc. Take your political BS and propaganda somewhere else. If I want to hear about all of this insanity in the world today I'll watch the news (which I don't).

I don't care about anyone's political views. To each his own. We are just trying to find out about Surf Cup in this thread.

Go away if you have nothing soccer related to contribute (and please don't try and tell me that all of the political nonsense relates to Surf Cup. It doesn't).

I should add that I didn’t mind that they were happening because they involve an important civil rights issue. If you don’t want protests, don’t be a racist, don’t support racist policies, and don’t support racist police. Like I said, the selfishness and stupidity of many Americans, their lack of caring and empathy towards others has come home to roost. And, as I stated previously, protests are such a small part of why we are where we are that blaming the protests is just denialism of the things that really are driving this.

There aren't racist policies. There are NO laws that only apply to people with black skin. That said, you have to be SMART enough to know the laws still apply to you. And you have to be COMPETENT enough to know that resisting arrest could backfire. Accountability and IQ play a huge part here. And nobody is wrong for lacking sympathy for criminals and others that don't value family, education and laws.

You notice nobody else is bitching?

I didn’t support protests. I recognized why they were happening, their inevitability and the fact that they could not be prevented. Ya’ll keep pointing to protests as an excuse to not do what you can control. And most of you because you’re racists.

It's not as much of a rainbow parade as an olive branch from me, warrior.

Thanks! I’m the one who posted the original question and every time I come to see If there are any surf cup updates it’s all the political crap. Tiring.
 
We should share some great stories of big wins or just a big experience in past Surf Cups as we all wait for their announcement. I remember my dd first Surf Cup as if it was yesterday. The wall of fame. All the past greats who entered through the pearly gates. It was amazing to just stand in ah and reflect as a dad, that all the former great parents of goats stood where I was standing too. Alex Morgans dad walked were I walked. My dd won her first and the last official best of the best Surf Cup in 2015 and it was amazing. I just want one more taste before my dd moves on with her adult life.

Oh... let's not.
 
Real Surf Cup stories only as we wait for the OP answer to his question, "Is Surf Cup happening?" Many many peeps have asked for zero politics on these soccer only threads and I agree. Let's focus on the glass is half full. If the glass is broken and no Surf Cup is Happening this year, then by all means let the folks thrash the thread with politics and why this and why that. For now, please share Surf stories ONLY!!! I saw some big time play at Surf Cup and it was always Ganas being played. Share please everyone positive stories of Surf Cup. Ignore the others, it's what we have to do. Stay soccer positive and all will go with you, I promise everyone :)
 
Of course surf cup is going to say it’s still on for the olders. The more teams that sign up the more money they get to collect for the processing fees If it doesn’t happen. If they announce it’s not happening they’ll loose out on a bunch of teams that would have signed up. Promoting a tournament is the biggest hustle at the moment. Lol

They can say "its on" right up until the day of the tournament if they want to.
Why would they cay "it's off" a month + in advance if they don't know for sure what will happen between now and then.
Book your hotel - At the very least a trip to San Diego is always a good time.
Train like you're going to play -At the very least, you'll be in shape and ready.
Plane Tickets- If you are coming from far, far away and need to fly - I'd say you are better off trying to play somewhere in Texas or the midwest where soccer is in full swing right now.
 
Tournament organizers should just run some summer futsal tournaments 5 v 5 and keep it outdoors only. Keep them small and have parents stay in the parking lot. Keep it to the younger groups 2011-2008 with no more than 2 groups per team. teams can play 4 games on the 1st weekend and best teams make it to the next weekend with no more than 6 games through the championship game.

This is better than waiting for field tournaments to start

Question... do you really envision that being safer than 11 v 11? If so, why? I guess, ultimately, every body NOT there is one body safer but you're getting physical contact no matter what.
