I doubt LA Galaxy or Real SoCal get ECNL, but the standings show they are top 4. I was wondering where the LA Galaxy players will go?

My high up buddy who gives me intel said recruiting will be insane and unlike anything we have witnessed. Good luck to all my 2022 friends out their. I feel your pain and been there and lived it. Be patient and be more patient. Let all the dust settle. What coach you see today might not be the coach next season. Hard to follow the sage advice of coach first and then club second when one does not know who the coach will be. Some much sorting out.......

That is incorrect. DA did not exist on the girls side until very recently. CSL wouldn't allow the 8 original SoCal ECNL member clubs to be guaranteed Premier level status and wouldn't allow them to play their CSL games by ECNL substitution rules.
What about Pats? West Coast?

Real So Cal was an original founding member of the ECNL.
True. But I think they made some mistakes, just like Surf. But we will see.

only issue with PPG in an incomplete season is it doesn't allow for the relative schedules, so a team at the bottom may have played the top half twice but the bottom half only once etc. in their league. It's a great starting point though and I do think ECNL will also look at geographic placement. So a club that "should" get in may not if they are on top of an existing member club ... all conjecture at the end of the day.
Well, I just got an email saying that Strikers have a working partnership with LA Soccer Club.
I agree. And the U18/19 shouldn’t factor in. They are leaving or most were youngers to fill rosters. The U17’s and younger will still be around next year and even stronger with recruitment.
With no U18/U19

CSL certainly had it's problems (and politics) but why would a true promotion/relegation system guarantee any club premier status for all of it's age groups? That would allow bad or abusive coaches to hide in the system and take power away from parents (the consumers). Closed marketplaces are bad for consumers.
It’s great to see some stats again. Starting to bring back memories from the old forums.
I miss Casper’s write ups, too. Those were always fun to read and his perspective was pretty good.
I can take a look later today post conf calls.
Here's what it looks like adding 2018-2019 for 3 age groups. I couldn't include U14 because it looked like I would have to create the table myself. Also Albion LV wasn't in the league, Eagles was.

I was referring to your “so everyone has played at least once” comment. That part of your statement is not true. Off the top of my head, I can think of 4 SW clubs that haven’t played each other at all this year.
No need to throw up my own table, because I have a feeling that the decision regarding who gets ECNL has to do with much more than incomplete DA standings.
