And the trash cans are all safe... dangit.

Wow, you're correct 3 games, 2 wins, 1 tie 0-0, and you don't get in, or get another shot. But, like many tournaments Goal scoring is rewarded.
Polaris: 10 goals in 3 games
StingWest Blues: 3 goals in 3 games
Tough seeding, yep Sting West B could be the 2nd best of the 14 in the QT...

Yup in a 10 point system ya gotta destroy the weak teams to win a bracket. With what was on the line they should have played a 3 point system and let the final game play to the death ( I say this because some went through after only 2 games, they had too many points??))....so again anybody...what is Solar doing with its DIII opening???

Pitchmon, I wouldn't be surprised to see a 96/"95" Solar team pop up to 95 D3......just to use the bye

96/95 Solar team... yep sounds like what will happen. Too bad DIII could have a couple of teams that may not be competitive enough to be a challenge for other teams in the division. Too bad for the Sting team sounds like they would have been a good contender in DIII.

Anyone have experience with either:
1. Gaining a release from NTSSA this early.
2. Bringing 100% of roster to club with a bye
(if getting on a DIII team is what was wanted)

Another week has passed, a new tournament with teams applied for and accepted with no new Solar team, no recruiting on this site, no team listed on Solar site, so WHERE ARE THEY COMING FROM??? I still think the theory of getting a failed QT team may be the strategy? Anybody hear anything new?

With all the changes (teams going to new clubs to obtain byes & clubs giving byes to lower level teams) who are the 8-9 teams that will be in Lake Highlands?
And It looks like DIII may be watered down with talent? How about DII? Any speculation on if all teams will be competitive in DII?
