That is incorrect.  
There is no limit on the number of ECNL players a team can use so long as they are rostered with a LH team.  If a LH team happens to have 10 ECNL players on its roster, then they are free to use all 10 rostered players if they want.

ECNL and LH are two different leagues run by two different organizations with zero coordination between them as far as players' roster go.


LH D1 is not considered a 'division down' from ECNL anywhere except in the minds of the parents (and to some extent Clubs too).

An ECNL team is considered a registered team equal to a D1 team so 3 players can be CPP'd from an ECNL team to a LH D1 team as long as the ECNL team is registered as a NTX USYS rostered team.  They DO NOT need to be a Lake Highlands team for a Lake Highlands team to CPP players.  They just need to be registered as such.

You can not register an ECNL team with NTX USYS. 
Elite Clubs National League (ECNL) is owned and run by US Club Soccer, a direct competitor to USYS hence you can not take a team from one league and register it into another league as equal or similar.  Individual players can do that, within their respective clubs, but not at league level.

By parents you mean those in LH D1, and on one team in particular.

I don't believe that is right.  It would seem to me that all the team has to do is register the team and it's players through NTX, and I don't think there is any restriction on team naming that would preclude the team being called FC Anyteam ECNL 05G for example with the coach and all the players from the ECNL team. To register in NTX, they need a team, players, and a coach, and I don't think NTX can refuse to register them because it's an ECNL team.

Now, playing the team in a USYSA league at the same time as its playing ECNL has its own problems as the two organizations are certainly not going to cooperate with scheduling around each other, and there are serious sanctions for missing games.

Lots of discussion about DA, ECNL, etc. That wasn't the question y'all. Who's gonna win LHCGL?

The question was who was going to win LH, but that plays into who is playing for the LH team. If you have 30 ECNL players on a team and you are playing LH then 18 might be dual rostered to the LH team. No CPP needed.

I still think LP Elite will win. I know they have lost some more players to DA/ECNL, but they should still be very strong by LH D1 standards. Curious to see how Grado does against them.

so why are you on here?

love a good train wreck

Lol. That train wreck happened over a year ago. The clubs just hope the new money train brings more. It's almost time to start another league.

On a serious note...you have DA, ecnl, srpl, tcl? And lh. Where do the composite teams play? Tcl? It's comical the amount of leagues there are.

Composite=TCL.
Last years composite teams didn't play much of anywhere. Don't know about this year.

They did. Red River NPL

Lol. Come join our league of five teams. Have they ever thought of having 1 higher level national league and one very strong local league?  That would be awesome!

No it can with ECNL adding classic elite in San Antonio and Sting Austin.

Big match between Grado and Texans TCL coming up... Two really good teams with completely different playing styles. Who wins and why?

I'm not sure but looking back through the threads (I just move to country and open 7-11) the Grado game against LPE should be good since that Grado Mom was always on the forums last year talking smack about them.
