King tut scores

Hopefully, no coaches (or parents) get tossed this weekend - would hate for anyone to miss an exciting weekend of soccer!

What's really unfortunate is the number of coaches and parents who can't control themselves at a 10-year-old's soccer game.  The fact that you can't keep up with the different offenders is really sad.

Jack is suggesting a poll on which team is likely to get a parent removed?  Really?

You would think the coaches would try to rein this behavior in, but it sounds like too many are offenders themselves!


I know of one coach this weekend involved in 2 incidents, in 2 separate games, on the same day!

- admonished by ref for teaching his players to play dirty

- run-in with opposing coach and then a parent who didn't appreciate the verbal insult thrown by the coach at his daughter (who was playing on the opposing team)


People claiming to have witnessed other incidents, audio, etc.

I know the environment can get intense, but what if the situation were reversed and this was how your daughter was acting?

and if it is someone on your team - somone needs to tell them NOT COOL.

I have really only ever seen parents yelling at refs.  I hope having an official ranking with set divisions help qualm some of this for the future.  to me it seems to be the few teams that think they are top five (by the unofficial rankings we all love so much) get a little quirky with each other and the 20-40 teams who all think they should be d1. and I also think a lot of the talk is done on the boards and you can take that with a grain of salt 99% of the time.

come on people

1) Why is RASE supposedly so much better than the rest of the teams?
2) How can the top 04 teams be ranked against each other when they hardly play each other?
3) Why is everyone crabbing that Spirit 04 got the #1 seed when they won their bracket at the qualifier for this tournament?
4) If RASE is so amazing why would you skip the qualifier?

No matter the rankings this entire pool of 04 girls is very talented.

Looking forward to a new town and a fun season. My daughter is thrilled to be involved with this great organization.
No she does not play for any of the top 10 teams according to the "rankings"

If you just moved here how do you know who and what RASE has played?  How do you know enough about the team to question what they have or have not achieved?  I get it you think Spirit should have the number 1 seed (and they do) but why make a post about absolutely nothing.  But the king tut was not a qualifier for the tournament, $800+ is.  As for why RASE didn't play it (they weren't the only ones) RASE would have been seeded number 1 or number 2 so the highest ranked team you play is 25th or 26th.  So a better question is why would RASE parents spend the several hundred to play the king tut when doing so would have little impact on their seeding which we actually care very little about anyway.  I get that you are new here, standing in a long line of people waiting for RASE to take a fall.  Spirit may feel they are next up to take a shot and who knows maybe it will go a little better for them than it did the last time they were up to take a shot.

So for a new person in town you certianly have one thing down already.  How to take  a annonymous shot a RASE while trying to make it look like an innocent inquiry.  And if your dd can make it into D1 you will get a chance to find out why RASE isn't supposedly anything they have worked very hard to be where they are.

MoGoSoccer wrote:That did not take long to get attacked. Thanks to peak Performance Dad for the classy answer and support. As for go99. Going to watch the RASE team this weekend. I know enough about who has played what by reading through the posts. I don't care if you fall or rise. From the sounds of things your RASE will never loose. You say you don't care about the seeding but it sure seems to be a problem. That is a mighty ego you have for a team you don't even play on. You are a spectator. I am sure the RASE team is a good soccer team from what I have read. Apparently this is what you live for so good luck with that. "Keep pluckin' that chicken"

1) Why is RASE supposedly so much better than the rest of the teams?
Go watch them play and you will see for yourself. As for how the team came together and managed to become better than the rest of the pack... I am not the person to comment on that, and will leave that for others to inform/debate.
2) How can the top 04 teams be ranked against each other when they hardly play each other?
For the most part, they have been playing against each other for the past couple of years, and I've been tracking the game results. Another overinvolved parent and myself developed a mathematical "ranking" system back when our '01 DD's were going trough academy. The system is based on game results and is meant to give a general overview about the relative competitive strength of teams in the age group. Of course, the forum fanatics love to take it to the extreme and get into heated debate when one team shows up being ranked a spot or two above another. I have carried the system through each year since the '01's as kind of a hobby, and the system has actually proven itself to be pretty accurate at predicting which teams end up qualifying for LHGCL at U11. If you would like, I can send you the full details about how the system is set up and works.
3) Why is everyone crabbing that Spirit 04 got the #1 seed when they won their bracket at the qualifier for this tournament?
Because RASE hasn't lost to another NTX '04 girls team in roughly 2 years, maybe longer, including Tx. Spirit. However, RASE has only played a total of 4 league/tournament games against '04 girls teams in the past year, as they have been off challenging themselves against the boys. The ranking system is what it is, and with the limited # of games RASE has played, and the relatively weaker competition they played in those games, the math happened to favor Tx. Spirit in this instance. Now, why the LHGCL QT seeding committee decided to seed Tx. Spirit higher than RASE in the QT is a question only they can answer. Neither I, nor my rankings, have any connection to LHGCL (but that doesn't mean they aren't looking at them and using them as part of their seeding discussions).
4) If RASE is so amazing why would you skip the qualifier?
They aren't skipping the qualifier, they skipped the pre-qualifier tournaments where LHGCL sends it's seeding committee reps to observe the teams first hand in advance of seeding the qualifier. You'd have to ask the coach for his reasoning, but my guess is that he saw no inherent purpose or benefit to having his team play in those tournaments, and felt he did not need to use those games to properly prepare the team for the QT. Who knows... maybe the RASE coach watched "Miracle" and realized that one of the biggest tactical mistakes the 1980 Soviet Olympic Hockey team made was agreeing to play the US Olympic team in a tune-up game 2 weeks before the Olympics started. Sure the Soviets won 10-3, but that allowed the US team to get over the shock-and-awe of playing the Soviets.

No matter the rankings this entire pool of 04 girls is very talented.

go99 wrote:it was a simple post taking a shot at rase and nothing more.  Could have easily asked the same type of questions without the poke although not sure why you would without the supposedly better and the IF they are so great.  
Ex.
1.   Why does everyone think RASE is so much better?
2.   Why did RASE not play the king tut?

See exact same question done without the jab so either the poster doesn't have a good grasp of the enlish language and it was intirely unintentional or he has a VERY good grasp of it.

So I will ask this question, Why do you care so much about RASE and whether they are good or not and what tournament they played or didn't?  Why do you not have that same interest in say DTS?
