Sometimes there were zero. The traditional ML national team was made up of 85-90% CAP players. Several sets of ML CAP parents -- across multiple age groups -- have told me there is no way they are doing Supremes. First, the schedule is insane. Vegas in December, FL and CA x2 in January and then the Vail tournament again (which CM got kicked out of last summer for fighting a ref). That's a long way of saying if a large percentage of the CAP players don't buy into it, they aren't going to have teams. While there are several regular solid flyins, I can only think of 1 that will probably continue to play for ML on the 28s. The tension and team meltdown has turned everybody off. Of course, they could probably get some players, but the quality players won't be there as they are already committed elsewhere.

There's your daily dose of ML drama for Friday.
are the Supremes part of the Circuit?
and please forgive me for an uninformed question, but what exactly is the Circuit and how is that different than other national tournaments?
