I will abstain from voting for several days, but here's my two cents.


Texans tournament - We avoid anything run by RH. Mini-games for those registration fees!?!

Hurst - pray it doesn't rain, otherwise good premier-level event

John Oubre - Granbury is a tough drive for a "rec tournament", esp. on a motorcycle

Primetime - should attract their league teams in under 6-14

U90C - too expensive, unless you think you have a shot to win it and advance to SuperCopa

Texans Fall Festival Links are on the website and have been since the tournament registration started. A lot of teams seemed to locate it.

AGE PURE MESSAGE
To best support our teams as they adjust to the new US Soccer initiatives, U90C offers both AGE PURE and TRADITIONAL roster formats for U6-U10 in all tournaments thru June 30, 2016. As your team transitions to Age Pure, be sure to select the division marked (AP) when registering in GotSoccer. Any division which does not have enough teams 3 days prior to tournament registration close will be combined with the most reasonable alternative. The goal at U90C is always to provide a service to coaches which best helps them reach their team goals. There will be 6-7 months of unrest and shifting, but we are here to go through it with our teams.

What about SuperCopa? Will it be AP or traditional?

Thank you for pointing that out. I do not know how I missed it. I fixed my original post.

It says all tournaments thru June 30, 2016 so I would guess the answer is yes.
