Yeah, given that I always think that "competent government" is an oxymoron, I'm not surprised.And because our California government is incompetent (particularly the EDD), $2 billion in Covid unemployment benefits went to prisoners and other non-qualified individuals and because our Federal government is incompetent unknown billions of PPP has gone to businesses that didn't qualify.
California unemployment fraud amid COVID-19 pandemic may total $2 billion, Bank of America says
The bank, which has contracted with the state Employment Development Department to issue debit cards containing unemployment benefits, issued the warning in a letter to California legislators.www.latimes.com
On the other side of the scale, they had to do something rapidly so nobody should be shocked at the lack of controls.

He wants to get an early start on reporting teams to the state of CA is the reason.
where do you see this information?
So release the teams list, and keep it up to date.
Right now, we have a Surf website saying Beach is in, and a Beach parent saying all teams are out.
Doesn't inspire confidence in the rest of the list, does it? Sure seems like cancellations might be kept quiet until after it's too late to get money back.

And just by coincidence within a 2-3 week window every state and pretty much every country in the N Hemisphere had the same spike as well?
I guess they all opened up their restaurants in Oct as well.
Nope, we are both wrong, it turns out it was entirely altruistic gesture to prevent people from overpaying for lower quality soccer.
Just so everyone understands, you dont have a kid playing in the tournament so now you have made it your life mission to talk crap about the tournament and spread false misleading information with no factual basis. Do you even have a kid in youth soccer? What is your obsession with this tournament? Surf team turned your kid down due to sub par play? Vendetta now?
All Beach teams are out. The oldest age group requested an exception on the girls side and were denied by the club.
Actually, in October we had a national conspiracy to close all restaurant windows and reset the clocks to make it dark in the evenings.
I think the illuminati were behind it. It's where their name comes from.

Thats exactly my point, the vague answers after claiming 450 teams and 85% being pulled makes it very hard to be credible. All I asked for was who are these teams? How can we trust assumptions after claims like that? Let's just see what happens.

I just find it more than entertaining that you cant really explain why pretty much everywhere in the N Hemisphere had the same spike within roughly the same 2-3 week period.
Your go to is well it must be restaurants and bars. As if magically everywhere in the N Hemisphere bars and restaurants all by chance also opened up in the same 2-3 week window.
Hey I wonder if this square peg fits into that circular hole? Didn't the first few times. Maybe this time it will.
You actually typed this out and didn't realize the irony? You are accusing someone of the very thing thing that you went on to do.
So..to make sure I understand, you are accusing someone of not making a Surf team and then using that as a motive to provide false information about a tournament that is obviously not what it set out to be. And you went directly after their player? Strong, and quite the tuff guy.
At some point we will see what the team list is and then we can rehash everyone's opinion on whether the competition is good or not. There will undoubtedly be opinions, which is not a bad thing.
What exactly is false information? someone just posted that 12 beach teams are going followed quickly by someone saying none are going?
Beach parents are very well informed too so I believe them. For the record, i would love my dd to play.
Focus happy, you obviously have not read some of the bafoonery posted on here trying to talk crap about the tournament but then again you tend to post a lot of bafoonery yourself about it as well. Individuals with no connection to the club or tournament just posting false misleading info about it like they have first hand knowledge. What a fine example of adulting here....lol
I am trying to focus! How are they talking crap? There is back and forth on both "sides". Didn't you just see someone post a list of confirmed and validated teams only to be quickly discredited by someone who knows that certain club isn't going, at all, across any age group?
And yes, much bufoonery to be had. I'm confident my bufoonery is accurate and not designed to disparage Surf. My youngest has never had the opportunity to play in a Surf event, league play always took precedence. This would have been a great opportunity to play against teams that routinely play in Surf. But, not to be.
You still haven't figured it out?
LMAO.
Yes, all the restaurants and bars in the northern hemisphere decided to close their windows at dinner time. And all within the same 2-3 week period.
Not Arizona, but most of the country has both winter and daylight savings time. It gets cold and dark at dinnertime. All at once, because we all set our clocks back just as fall sets in. Dinner happens one hour colder and one hour darker. People shift to eating and drinking indoors, and restaurants close the windows.
All of which helps covid spread - if restaurants are open. More people inside, together, with less ventilation.
It's the same idea as restaurants being open in mid summer heat gave you guys a peak in July- except you closed the windows to stay cool instead of to stay warm.
The better question is what is going on in LA.
Happy, I'm trying to disengage from these useless threads, yes I posted way to much again here but I'm going be be minimizing participation now unless there is some useful soccer conversation. Go back a few pages and you will see the bafoonery posted. My kid has only done a few Surf cups and November nights over the years. I really liked last years Adidas cup which her team came out top in their group playing higher ranked teams. It doesn't matter if your kid has played in surf or not. The only thing kids should be focused on is personal development and with the current restrictions this is difficult but not impossible. My kid really enjoys her dad training sessions or double dad training when her friend joins her. We work extensively on fundamentals and mix in some good conditioning also. Yes scrimmage and game play is needed. She trains private with some boys from her school and they get 1v1, 2v2, 4v4, etc... play during the training session. Soccer tournaments are more for club reputations to boast about but you can get the same level of quality play from good friendly scrimmage also. Yes they are still happening. It's sad that 45 other states have all of their youth sports in full affect but California just watches its governor violate his own edicts.

It hasn't been perfect in other states. Although this isn't widespread they are trying to avoid things like this.
