I'm interested to know how the whole ECNL RL fits in the new landscape. My understanding for the 19-20 season was it functioned as a stand alone league and the only connection to ECNL was the chance to play in the Open Cup during the July showcase. Are they changing the set up for the 20-21 season? Since field space at ECNL showcases seems to be a concern will the RL have their own separate showcases during the season? Just seems odd to have clubs joining without more information.
I know you do and I know more about you too. It's becoming very clear to me whose who on here.
But won't all of the good legends kids be at arsenal by next week?

Can you be on a soccer field without getting shot at in Oakland, Richmond or Vallejo? Maybe if California stopped treating criminals like victims and kept scum locked up where they belong, we could have clubs there, Dre.
P.S. - Those 3 cities are all within a 1 hour drive from Rage, Mustang, Davis and Marin FC.
What an asshole... take that political crap to the off-topic board where it belongs.
Good points. It will be less up north. Looking at the map, it seems Marin is closest to those first 2 cities. I used to live in Nor Cal about 6 years ago so I can attest lots of the top clubs up there are in medium to very wealthy areas.
Right or wrong, these elite leagues in soccer will often be in well off areas on the girls side. At least it many cases it appears that way

You need a tampon change, princess? Fucking truth hit too close to home?
Nope.... I live on the peninsula, in one of the wealthiest zip codes in the country, and definitely not a princess. Just know an asshole when I see one. Hello, asshole.

It is separate similar to DA and DPL (but it's at least governed by ECNL unlike DA and dPL) but it will become strong and the kids will get chance to play up on ECNL rosters at showcases and things or even get promoted once this settles down.....standard will go up so it will work out well I think.....

There will apparently be more than enough DA teams in
That's a good point. One solution would be using a relegation model, but that is only being used on the boys side, correct?

The best players all playing in one smaller league and all the others still able to play in local leagues.....I don't see the problem other than the short term BS that some families are having to go through.....I thought I was going to be one of them so I do feel for them but long term it makes more sense to have 14 elite clubs rather than 26 in the southwest region spread over two leagues.........relegation model might be fun if introduced!
There is promotion relegation in NPL on girls and boys side. In my estimation, ECNL could easily turn to this model which could accommodate many teams by providing 3-4 tiers.

Quit whining, pussy. What I said was accurate and you know it. It's not political... it's fact.
What is that word fellas like you like to use? Triggered you are, I think. Quite the meltdown you're having there. Hope you're ok.

You're the one that pissed yourself over... Triggered you are... my post, Yoda. Go take a Midol and move past it.[/QUOTE]
and that's only in Nor Cal boys side. I'm guessing because those who run the Nor Cal premier prefer it. I know the NPL up there has Pro and Rel.
If MLS doesn't use it, why should ECNL? right...
Different in NW. Our conference is far too large geographically. From Seattle to Denver. I would be delighted if ECNL accepted every NW DA team and just split the conference in two. Even if that means dd goes to fewer showcases.
