I agree with laffysoccermom. Take a look at the U16 Girls C1 brackets. One bracket had 9, 7 and 6 points while the other had 3, 1 and 0. The team with 3 pts and the team with 1 pt advanced over a team with 6 pts. Almost as bad, the teams with 9 and 7 pts have to play each other in the semifinal. There isn't even a re-seeding after the prelims. There will be a team with one win or no wins getting to the finals and a team with two wins doesn't even get a chance.

And getting to the finals also means competing in RPL...

I also am more in favor of head to head competitions determining who moves on rather than common opponents.
That's why I favor the in bracket games.

We just finished prelims weekend in Lake Charles. As I posted on the boys' side, this format is a total, unmitigated embarrassment for youth soccer in Louisiana. (Fortunately we weren't adversely affected by it.)

I can't believe that the clubs voted in favor of this format. I spoke to our club and they said they voted for the top 4 on points. They also said it went to vote a second time to make sure this is what the clubs wanted and can't believe they voted the way it is now. Hopefully it will get changed now the clubs have seen the outcome!! There must some idiots doing the voting at some clubs for sure!
