Only way to beat the system is to holdback or maybe even double holdback.

I am just waiting to compare teams when 2026 are in Freshmen/Sophmore years when age is irrelavant. My child is not on a top 50 team. When you see player on Team Carolina that my son says #XX had mens legs. They were BIG. Especially bad when a goally gets hurt on a missle from an 8th grader in 2026 game.

What were the programs afraid of? You play the game and one team wins and the other losses. That is called competing. Agreeing not to play prior to play begins is darn strange.

I don't know if this is relevant, but given the line-up for 2026 at that event, a Towermen/Tigers final was a virtual guarantee.

They didn't want to play against each other knowing they were playing a few days later.

Tigers team is not the same that showed up at NAL, the WS version is weaker.

Re: Boys 2026-7th Grade Fall 2020/Summer 2021 Anonymous #336099 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A Seems ridiculous to not finish the tournament. Win or lose, just let the kids play the game. For all the parents who always said the World Series is a money grab and not worth playing, etc., it sure seems awfully important these days.

Just my opinion but I think there will be a lot of movement this once the World Series is over. The top kids will stay. But I could see the bottom half of these rosters looking to go somewhere else to get some playing time.

But I could see the bottom half of these rosters looking to go somewhere else to get some playing time. A few teams in need a turnaround... ie, 91, Legacy. Outlaws folded so those kids will be looking for a new home...although its rumored you'll see a bunch of them go to Mooselax. Plenty of kids on bloated rosters will be looking to leave for more time.

Kids wearing wigs and garbage. I get having fun but try looking respectable like the 47 other teams. And how does Hawks get front and center at the ceremony

If my son was looking for a new team he definitely would not be looking at 91,Legacy or the Outlaws, these teams have been on a downslope for the past two years. If you are looking for good COACHING I would be looking at Express, Mooselax, Turtles and Li Lax club.
