State cup bracketing

It's a blind draw, it's not going to be a perfect every time. This is just a tournament with six teams...nothing more.
There are no good solutions once you are down to 6 teams.

You can have group A play group B. This risks undefeated teams getting knocked out. Not satisfying.

Or you can have two round robins, each with 3 teams. For someone, their second game of the day is the other team’s first game. Not fair.

Or, you can play a 6 team round robin. This takes a long time. And no final. Not satisfying.

Or you can do a single elimination tournament, where two teams have a bye. Again, not fair. And it’s a long drive for just one game.
 
You win the award for the biggest....

I don't even know who OLE is never heard for them.

You signed up for a tournament and now you don't like how it was bracketed or the rules so go cry somebody else the river or find another tournament where the brackets are never going to be cross over play.

Might want to read the rules before you apply next time so you can't whine no stop about how corrupt the tournament is so your team has a better chance of advancing out of a bracket since they didn't win there own bracket.

Ole isn't even guaranteed 2nd place in their group if they put 20 goals on Legends SD and it would be CalSouth's fault for incentivizing Ole to do that.
 
This is the easiest way to get every team 3 games. The draw didn't work out the way it "should".
A semi final round would solve it all. It's state cup, why is CalSouth trying to play the minimum games? Give the kids two knock-out round games. They are already stretching the thing over 2-3 weekends when it can be decided in a single weekend anyways.
 
This is another

This is another reason why the Ole parents are Mad.... before the tournament started there were semifinals in the schedule.... After playing there second game and beating (Blues Saribia) the next day they changed the format. And took the semifinals out..... This is exactly the point I am trying to make... this tournament is rigged
Is there a State Cup rep for the age group where a grievance can be filed? I think Ole has a legit grievance if their state cup is over after 3 games.
 
That’s exactly what Ole red did ... they earned the right to advance because they won vs the opponents they were matched up with. The girls cnt understand why they aren’t going to the finals if they beat every team they played. SMH I don’t care any about the ranking but what I do care about is my baby girl upset bcuZ her n her team worked so hard n they don’t have ANYTHING to show for it!
There is still a game to be played against Legends SD, why give up already?
 
You could be classy and tell them how proud you are of their efforts and play in the tournament and they represented well.

They can understand the truth that coming in 2nd in a bracket doesn't qualify for advancement since the rules only allow the top 1 team to advance and they came in 2nd due to tie breakers GD,GA, GF or whatever may be the case. Tough break but there will be other opportunities to advance at the next tournament if they continue playing well and get the results that are required to advance.
My DD's team played in a round robin tournament 2 summers ago. They had 3 wins and a draw, beating the eventual "champs" in their 4th game of the weekend. After the game the losing side took home their championship medals and our girls took home the runner-up medals. Sometimes point systems and tournament format/rules are wonky.
 
Cal South Really dropped the bomb on this one .....According to https://youthsoccerranking.com Ole is the #2 ranked team in California.... how can Cal South not know this... Was really looking foward to an Ole vs blues Final.... knowing that Ole beat Rennies blues about two months ago in a scrimmage.... I personally think someone on the cal south board with ties to the blues did not want to see this game happen.... how do you change the tournament format while the tournament is giong on... hiw do you take out the semi finals out.... the only people that Cal south is hurting i”are the 9 year old girls that put their sweat tears and hard work into this..... The system is corrupted
Thank you for that!!!!!
 
If you win how do you not advance in state cup?

The terms of a tournament are published right? If you don't like the terms don't sign up.

After signing up whinny about the bracket draw is entertaining but your kid just wants to play so let the chips fall where they may and don't worry about the draw.
How do you not play the teams in your bracket to be the best of A?????????????

Try making a schedule for 6 teams. It isn't easy.

If A teams play A teams, then a tired team plays a fresh team in game #2. That's not really fair, either.

In one tournament I helped supervise, we had a 6-team bracket, divided into 3-team groups. The plan was that each team would play the other 2 in their group, followed by a crossover semifinal and final game, with a consolation game between the two teams that finished last in each group to meet the 3-game-minimum guarantee. In one group, all 3 games were scoreless ties. The three coaches, the tournament director, and the senior referee at the tournament got together and came up with a 3-way shootout first thing Sunday morning to decide everyone's places.
 
Denying the truth does not change the facts.

Trying to protect yourself by refusing to accept the truth about something that's happening is common, blaming others, playing the victim, claiming corruption, making execues is typical.

Taking the easy way out instead of respecting the competition rules or teams that did what your didn't is the best way to set a good example. It was rigged, highway robbery, teaching execues is a better approach even when you come in 2nd and didn't earn the right to advance.

Close but no cigar might be good enough for horseshoes and hand grenades not so much for youth soccer tournaments.
Lmfaooooo so I’m not going to respond to you anymore .... learn how to spell and get back to me because you clearly spelled excuses wrong a few times in a row lmfaooooo!! N it’s clear where ur DD must play, and u don’t want to play any competition, you want the trophy handed to u!!

It looks like Blues Sarabia will be moving on. Did you guys really dominate them? They shouldn't even be on the field with you? The score was 2-0, maybe it was just a one sided game then?
Here is this guy again the one that talks mess from 2 pages, nice to have you back!! Just REMEMBER we all know who you are now so WATCH YOUR MOUTH!! Can’t run around being disrespectful anymore n not get checked when someone sees u!!

what the hell are you talking about? Your buddy said Blues Sarabia shouldn't even be on the field with ole, pretty disrespectful when the score was only 2-0. Still waiting for the video. It must not have been that bad of a beat.

But you did respond and you don't have a clue.

Our DD is a adult college junior. She won her share of trophies including the one you likely won't get this year.

Have fun enjoy the games.

One of these days you will wake up and take responsibility instead of trying to play the victim and blame others for not getting what's required to move to the next level.
