So wait -
34 kids
9 kids just watching on sideline
Leaves 23 kids
2 kids were fogo and attackman who were defenitely A team kids
Leaves 21 kids
Then there is 12 kids (7 poles/5 middies) who are playing A and B tournaments. Who may be A or B team players for the spring and summer depending on what CoachC decides.
Well if half of those become A and half B then the B team would only have 15 kids which is not a team.
Seems like all except one have to stay with B team to have a full team.
Unless CoachC intends to always have A players coming down to play with the B team.
Which is the issue

Great response buttheadhole. Clearly that's the best you can do, since your limited intelligence cant even understand when its broken down for you.

Comical statement to say that without 1 kid that 3 teams would be in trouble. You’re clueless [/quote

You’re clueless. Bet you’ve never seen him in a game. Stay on the mid-Atlantic thread.

Poor little guy. Nothing better to do than get angry about a response on the internet. Your son is not a good lacrosse player by the way. I'm sure he regrets having you as a father.

Wish we knew how many people realize that when "fraud" & "get your money back" are thrown on here actually know that it's really other lacrosse clubs/directors trying to smear other clubs to recruit player/parents. I would hope parents aren't making judgments by what they read here. Hopefully the judgements come by what is seen on the field. Everyone relax, adjustments will be made for tournament brackets. All summer long you read here about "who got better, "who added", "what players moved". Sometimes it takes the fall to realize how a team changed and how competitive they are or aren't.

So the team Legacy beat was Haugen Orange, and the team in the B bracket for this weekend’s tourney is Haugen black. Do they rotate colors as they do players between teams?

Cograts to Legacy! They won and that seems to be forgotten in all of the Express chatter about how good or bad or wrong the coach was. It's very obvious that hoarding kids will keep those kids away from other clubs that they compete against. This has nothing to do with development or playing time. The club business model has become get very good as early as possible, hoard kids in the middle, and who cares late. By getting good early you get a huge bump in your tryouts. Every lacrosse parent who has no idea wants their child to be on the best team because their kid is the best and THAT CLUB won the MOST LAST YEAR so MY KID needs to play there because they are the best. Presto, 100 kids are at the next tryout, they keep 60, sell a song and then by the time parents realize that they are playing the chimes in the orchestra the kids are in 7th or 8th grade and it's over. The result is mediocre lacrosse all around because quality kids are not playing and not getting better while the 2 or 3 clubs that hoarded players and pray on parents go to the World Series and get to start the cycle all over again. As a Dad that's been through it all I can say is this. Place your son where he will play, have a chance to compete with his team, and you as parents enjoy your surroundings. In the end the club ride can be a blessing, a curse, or nothing at all. Your boys are young kids and soon they will be young men and might choose a different path. Make sure your aspirations don't cloud the fact that they have other interests, other talents, and just might like being your little boys for a few months longer.

Tourney for Blatant jam just says LIE Haugen 2026 in B bracket. Doesnt say Orange or Black.
And appears for Tristar they have both Haugen Orange and Haugen Bkack in AA bracket.
Originally they had Haugen Orange in A bracket and Haugen Black in AA bracket.
Looks like CoachC must be getting some pushback from parents about the Orange team being a B team, so he has moved it into the AA bracket with Black.

It was the Express B team at Blatant. Not sure if that means Orange or Black but I think most teams use Black as their A team. Except 91... Express either didn't use that good FOGO or he really isn't that great.

They should’ve jumped to the A bracket if they were dominating like that than the a bracket would’ve been good competition

Agreed. Rush Force should have switched with Express Haugen. Rush Force should not have been in the A bracket.

I give credit to them for stepping up and challenging themselves. The fall is basically preseason, no? I bet they go home knowing a lot more of what they need to work on than if their goal was to try to win b bracket a fall tournament. No, not a Rush parent...

Agreed fall is the pre season it just gives coaches an idea of what there team can and can’t do but in my eyes should always start in the a bracket because you learn more when your playing competitive teams

If 2026 CoachC is an AA team, and Haugen is an A team, then why didn’t they play in the A bracket yesterday?

We’ll see how the LI teams fare against some real competition. Next up, Tigers XXVI, BBL Black and Primetime. I’m guessing they won’t fare too well. Those are 3 of the better teams from this summer. I’m guessing bottom two in Black division.

For the tri star tourney express is in AA hmmm figured they would get Atleast one championship under their belts for the fall

What tourney is that?

Perhaps they're still trying to figure out where the teams fits in. The "B" team is new this year. I watched them play Legacy last weekend and they definitely belong in any bracket that Legacy plays in. Not sure what that might be. Someone mentioned that Igloo played this same team and beat them 6-0. So do they belong in an AA bracket or A bracket?

It was not 2025 B team. It was 2026 2nd team who is supposed to be an A team. Or that's what CoachC told everyone when they were offered a spot and took their money. People accepted the spot thinking they were to be on one of 2 A teams. So what you are saying is nonsense.
But CoachC didnt clearly split these kids. And are having kids shift back and forth between the 2 teans. Yet he is registering the 2nd team in B divisions.

Tristan Octoberfest 10/26/19. On Tourney Machine. No schedule but click Standings under the 2026AA division.

Sorry, my kid isn't on the team. I didn't mean B. I meant 2nd team. Whatever that may be. So if their top team is AA then this should be an A team. If the top team is A then this is a B. They're definitely not equivalent.
