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.

Mine was shared by club. Yours has no Breakers and Los Gatos. Do I know definitively? No.

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.

I thought Breakers went under as well, and yes, Los Gatos now has full ECNL teams playing this fall.

OK - these previous CalNorth schedules posted above appear to be useless. There have been games played the past few weekends, and the teams all seem to have a suffix of "MLS Next AD". The results can be found in SR, so they are getting a feed somehow, but there is no public link to a page to view standings. If you go to the Standings or Schedules page on the MLS N site itself which shows AD, it appears to still be blank at the moment.

I see both Homegrown and Academy Division schedules and standings for all age groups and regions on the MLS Next site as of this morning.

Huh - that's strange. I just clicked on those same two links again, and saw the exact same blank info:
This is with the latest version of Chrome on a fully-patched PC. It looks like maybe you need to log in or something, it's hard to troubleshoot because it remains blank. But I then tried the same links in the latest version of Firefox:
Still not logged in, and it displays fine here. So the WTF appears to be how their site seems to behave poorly with some browsers.

Found this link on another site. Looks like someone has built another interface to the same current MLS schedule/ranking data that is supposed to be displayed on the MLS site. Works for both HG and AD divisions.
