MLS Next 2 schedules announced

Interesting setup: easier travel for south bay and peninsula team. No overlap between divisions and just 18 games (as opposed to the 26 more MLS Next)

 
Thank goodness CalNorth has settled on using intelligible names for these Tier 2 teams - it will make it that much more straightforward for people to understand how the clubs are performing relative to each other and the outside world. It would certainly be a step forward if it were a model for other geographies, but that so far doesn't seem to be the case. One example bracket:

One of them can't be correct - and it looks like they haven't sorted it out yet. Will be clear by the time games are played, I imagine.

Look at it from the individual team level:

Here's Burlingame U14 Tier 2: https://system.gotsport.com/org_event/events/43203/schedules?team=3013978

Here's also Burlingame U14 Tier 2: https://system.gotsport.com/org_event/events/43201/schedules?team=3013782

Game days are identical - but they are playing all different teams. Either there are two teams named identically, or one of the schedules is going to take precedence and the remaining one is going to look silly.
 
IIRC, this also happened last year when X2 was first announced by CalNorth. They had created a schedule, but then it stayed blank / no scheduled games / all the way through the season, and there was another gotsport page where the games were actually scheduled properly.

Its not surprising, X2 was a disaster and horribly run - games scheduled against teams that didn't exist, teams dropping out, etc. Seems CalNorth trending the same way trying to run another similar league.

Breakers went under from what our club has said, and Los Gatos got full ECNL and sounds like they aren't doing MLS Tier 2 anymore. So I think the schedule with those clubs gone might be more accurate.
