Chad, I don't have the paperwork with me...would you review how teams advance out of the quartiles? thanks. Each group winner advances to that Division's semifinals. The group winners will be seeded and put in semifinals. We use the standard FIFA points system... 3 for a win, 1 for a draw, 0 for a loss.

When you have this many quality teams, premier does not necessarily mean "best." How many people think St. Frederick (primier) is better than ... say ... Westminster or Country Day (gold)? I do. I think St. Frederick is every bit as good as both of these teams.
I do.

No slam intended at St. Fred... the comment was just to emphasize how hard it is to separate this many good teams into two divisions. It would have been just as easy to put Country Day or Westminster in "Premiere," and St. Fred were in "Gold." There are also many other examples of fine lines of difference in perceived strengths between teams in the two brackets.
By the way Chad... that is a tough, impressive first bracket in Gold, Westminster, Menard, Haynes, OCS. Bracketing Westminster and Menard together should draw a lot of fans. And with Haynes and OCS, the bracket covers the entire state geographically. We look forward to the challange.

At this point in the season (much like last year's team) Loyola will be slow to start but has the potential to be good in January when it counts.
Being in the Premier bracket will be a tough draw for them but, they will play hard to the end which will make them a good opponent for any team. You should get your money's worth regardless of the score.

Wow, gonna be a great two days of soccer. Looks like toughest bracket is D. You got the two highest ranked teams in Divisions 2 and 3 (coaches poll) in the same bracket, plus a 6 and 7 from those divisions. No other bracket is even close, at least according to the initial rankings. Hmmmmmm

I would like to see an ASH/StL rematch after what I've heard, or StL/Vandy in the final. I know they lost alot of star players, so it should be a great tourny to see fresh talent all around.

Group H looks to be a pretty interesting DIII matchup (minus Opl. Catholic). The other 3 have tried to make early season cases for being in the Top 10 so it'll be interesting to see how they handle each other.

Weather forecast is Absolutely GREAT right now! Not gonna get too excited till Wednesday or Thursday, but it looks like God is rewarding us for going through that snow storm last year. Hopefully we get a big crowd on both days... No excuse for any soccer fan to miss this weekend!
