FCA, Igloo or Outlaws?

Haha..looks like FCA Upstate is the 7th seed out of the North

Easy Towermom

Say what you want about T-men getting in after the fact but I saw them play Black Ops which is a Super Team made up of about 4 other elite club teams who couldn’t qualify on their own due to holdbacks and played to them to a one goal game. They also lost to Mad Lax by a goal with their leading scorer sidelined due to injury. So did they earn a spot, maybe not, but they are good enough to deserve one.

Thanks Hawks Dad for your deep insight. Your comments provide clarity on the situation.

Who cares ! Keep shelling out the cash Daddy.

They didn't qualify like the others had to by beating their foes. So no, they didn't "earn" their spot and aren't good enough to "deserve" one. They were added because the WSYL WANTS THEIR MONEY!

Um, Towermen placed first in their division during pool play. I am starting to think you don’t want the Towermen in the tournament because you think you may lose to them. How embarrassing would that be?

This person sounds kinda scared of the Towerpeople. The WS needs everyone’s $ but also needs 24 teams. If they are no good, you will easily beat them in July. It is common for the WS to take 7 especially in the largest qualifier. Judging by how the qualifier went down, you could have finished 2nd in your bracket and have gotten an easier road. Day 2 was not reseeded. The qualifier is an evaluation of who the best teams are. Kick their Meanyand stop whining.

I'm not concerned at all. My sons team didn't need outside assistance to get through the qualifier that the towermen did not get through. Thank you tower mom.

I see both sides..but she has a point about the 24 teams and the loot.

Towermen didn’t qualify.

After BBL pulled off a huge 5-4 victory against the mighty TRW, they survive to Day 2 in which they get throttled by the Tigers and Madlax but have another monster win against all star True PA team to clinch their WS birth. Incredible performances and well “earned” in every way proving to the lacrosse world that only the best “earn” their spot.

Ain’t that much loot - $225k - after the helmets and paying for Joe Beninati basically left a with some coins and some lint in their pockets.

50 Helmets? They probably donate them. Joe B probably doesnt cost a ton in July for a day

WSYL announces 13U Advancing Teams

The World Series of Youth Lacrosse is proud to congratulate Long Island Express, Sweetlax Upstate, Primetime, Team 91 Long Island, FCA Upstate, Eclipse Nightmares and 2Way Lacrosse for advancing to play in the World Series of Youth Lacrosse Championship! Long Island Express was able to walk away undefeated with the qualifier championship in hand. We would also like to thank Legacy Eels, Long Island Lacrosse Club, Roar Lacrosse, Shore 2 Shore Raiders, Orange Crush, Igloo DireWolves and Predators Lacrosse for coming out and putting on a show, there was great competition all around!

But BBL got the job done and earned their birth as did Jersey Express. Both are the pride of NJ! TM lost and are accepting participation trophies, if my kid played for them wouldn't let him participate in shame.

For the amount of work it takes to put it all together. Hire people for events,venues for all rounds etc. Not a huge money maker. Think about it. Would you coordinate all this for the amount you may clear? It’s a nice idea. It only gets insane due to parents. My kid could care less if we didn’t go. It’s more important to the programs than the kids playing. Ask your kid how much they talk lacrosse with their friends or listen when you’re driving them and their friends to or from practice/ tournaments. It’s not the am all end all.
I still think the event is a great idea. Just don’t obsess about it.

Are you serious? Do you think they would continue with the event if they weren't making a fortune. Aloha Events makes bank, count on it.

The WSYL was part of the strategy by Body By Jack guy, he was trying to get more kids into the sport so that he could build a larger consumer base for his MLL. Obviously MLL folded but I think now he doesn’t need the money but loves the game and wants to grow it outside of Long Island. That is why you see Denver and DC as host areas.

Ouch!

Towermen didn’t qualify

Who is this?

Towermen DID qualify.

Harsh but true. How could you show up?

What other team should go if not towermen?
Need 24.

WSYL automatically sends the next highest seeds in the event that a team can not participate no matter the reason. towermen or not, this isnt the first time this has happened.

True Annapolis

Nope. They're going but they certainly didn't "qualify" to go.

Towermen finished 7th. Top 7 teams advance. Sooo, not following your comment. They 100% qualify

True Annapolis is #1 in the A division of the Hoco league - not in Elite, AAA, or AA divisions. True Dad is dreaming.

The brackets are still up and shows the Towerment losing in the consolation bracket? Doesn't sound as if they "advanced" but were given a participation reward.

Give it a rest. That team is not good at all compared to the the ones that really advanced. Towermen definitely not an elite team.

B team. True is in Elite

We’re done. Towermen qualified. See you clowns in July.

Thats not the consolation bracket..take a closer look. Its the championship bracket..just saying

The only clowns are the sweaty towermen dads running their mouths on the sidelines as well as this forum. A bunch of "we won" dads and "we're gonna" dads . You arent doing anything but paying bills like the rest of us. Its a shame your boys did not actually qualify but were given consolation prizes, but hey still looks good on insta right tower pops!? So get those posts out and hash tag em up towermommies and towerdaddies. Even if you show up and run the table, you'll still know that part of it was a gift. see you clowns in july!

Towermen would poop on NJ express and BBL and those teams know it. They beat a team 11-1 that BBL beat 5-4 the same day.

They lost in the championship bracket quarter final game to Black Ops by a goal. Towermen is easily a top 6 or 7 team in the nation behind hawks, CoachC, tigers, sweetlax, black Ops and maybe Mad lax who beat them by a goal with Towermen’s leading scorer on the bench with an injury.

now were gonna play the -- we beat team" b "and they beat team "a" so were better than both. Sorry that just doesnt fly! some of you dads are really grasping at straws now.

Here is the deal. Towermen can easily steamroll 18 of the 24 teams going to WSYL. Towermen would have trouble against Hawks, Sweetlax, and tigers and would play even with Madlax, BlackOps, and LIE. Other than those teams, nothing to worry about. Towermen are going deep in this Tournament - that is a fact!
