Anonymous Unregistered A	If the Gladiators won they would have played 91. They lost to Laxachussets & 91 beat them decisively. How is that bracketing? Part 2 turtle poles should not play in a B division. Part 3 Did 91 remove the Terps Black or TB From the tournament or did they drop out?

I doubt HIGHLY that Terps Black and TB dropped out of the little LI Laxfest "A" division. Both those teams are in Baltimore playing in crabs tourney, like them or not but those two teams don't duck anyone.

Psrt 7 - 91 had it's last pool play game at 1215 while the south bracket teams played game on, game off right into the playoffs. Would be fair if each of the top 4 teams had the 2 plus hour break before the playoffs. Please read carefully - not saying the outcome would have changed but it would be fair. I realize that is a four letter word for some organizations.

Anonymous Unregistered A	So is this what the 2017 group has to look forward to after each tournament this summer? Yes, I am on the 'Terps and Terps Black should not share players' band wagon but I don�t think we should resurrect that topic every week. It seems that after each tournament the threads on this forum focus on the age of the out of state teams, how the brackets lined up, and how many Terps Black helmets were on the field. There was some very good lacrosse played last weekend in Farmingdale and all we seem to care about are the rosters. Let's face the fact that teams and school districts outside of Long Island have different age cutoffs. We are going to see this all summer long. Also, unless an independent auditor performs the seeding, someone will always be upset with the brackets. And lastly the only thing Express is going to do about the Terps/Terps Black rosters is to continue to tick off all the other 2017 teams on LI. We wait all season for the summer tournaments and this is what we want to talk about!?

You seem to be like the abused wife, excusing the offender. Good lesson. Maybe the Express should be able to tie in the B divisions, using A and AA players, keeping those teams whom are working hard to improve from earning this accomplishment.

They were 2 of the top 4 teams (according to the "bananas" on this site) You know NOTHING about brackets. In any sport the top "bananas" (1-4 as an example) are separated in the bracket to face each other in the semi/finals. The goal of a draw is to have the top teams play at the end of a tournament. If one should loose early it is not the tournament directors fault!

Anonymous Unregistered A	The rankings stayed the same because no one beat someone a head of them and other teams didnt play each other. Not sure what your thought process is. How would you change them? Remember that you have to beat someone to take there place. Only Long Island count.So if you win or loss to an outer state team things stay the same? Example: Garden City & Terps tied so no change. Interested in what you think is wrong with the rankings??

Let's face it the best teams might have 10-15 great players but the other 10 might be coaches son, friend of said coach, someone's son who donated or has some connections in some other field etc. It's all who you know. OK, I faced it...I had my son, who has played with/against all of these boys for years, look at the list of 20 boys picked. He felt all of them (including both coaches sons) are incredible players who should be on the team. Are there 1 or 2 that might be interchangable with 1 or 2 of the players called back for another tryout this weekend? Maybe. From what we are told, they are picking 5 more players & putting together another team. Great idea...maybe you guys from this site should do the evaluating for that team because you all sound very unbiased. Hahaha (that was a joke:) It's not all "who you know" Its how talented you are, how hard you work & catching the attention of a very good coach! Thats the lesson you should be teaching your children, not this ridiculousness!Please stop taking away from these VERY talented boys!!

So are you saying that the tournament organizers set the brackets up so these four teams would land in the playoffs? What about the selection videos??? (those have to be proof positive that the brackets are on the level ). Also, according to the unofficial rankings in the forum, fl$ has to be considered one of the top four teams, not Jesters. So, lets see, fl$, LAX-Black and Gladiators. What did all of these top 3 of 4 teams have in common. That's right, they had to play each other on the way to the play-offs. And, chances are two of them would land in the number 2 and 3 spots where they would have to play each other. Playing at least two of the top four teams during pool play would take it's toll on all three teams physically, in the loss column and in the goals against column. Yes 91 Orange won their way to a championship and beat the best of the rest to do it. However, they only had to beat one of the other three best teams in the tournament to do it. If fl$, Gladiators or LAX-Black had won, they would have had to beat three of of the best teams in the division. One during pool play, one in the playoffs and one in the championship.

Anonymous Unregistered A	Rankings, even in NCAA, change weekly. Good teams win some weeks and lose others. That's why the game is played. The unofficial rankings on this board should be taken lightly since they don't mean anything and are completely subjective. If you disagree with your spot, justify why you should be higher. If not, just accept it because its all for fun anyway. Look at the last NCAA d1 poll. Duke was #1 but the previous week were #8. #10Maryland was ranked #4 the week before. Is anyone going to argue that Duke and Maryland or any other top 10 team couldn't beat each other on a given day? If your 2017 team is even considered a top 10 for the age group, understand you could lose to one of the top teams any time. Yes, that includes 91 and the Terps etc. There is a ton of talent spread out among the teams. Enjoy the good competition and move on from this BS.

Anonymous Unregistered A	Originally Posted by Anonymous fl$ and Jesters are not one of the top teams. They are good teams but that is it. The Gladators and 91 will beat them 9 at of 10 times. Says who? Enlighten us with your lax knowledge! fl$ and the Jesters are both very good lacrosse teams and will be competitive throughout the summer. The top teams (as you call them)definitely have more depth of talent. The Jesters played 91 Orange very tough for most of the game. The 91 Orange face off kid took over and 91 controlled the play for the last 15 mins of the game. 91 is too talented of a team to give them possessions so naturally they went on a run and put the game out of reach. Be careful with your blanket statements.

Anonymous Unregistered A	Originally Posted by Anonymous Totally agree. Both teams are good but not at the level of the top teams. I realize that this concept is difficult for you to process but fl$ actually plays everyone equally regardless of the game and they are still competitive. I would love to see the results of your so-called 'top teams' if they did the same. One thing that is indisputable is that fl$'s top players are as good or better then anyone out there.

Anonymous Unregistered A	Originally Posted by Anonymous Please explain or justify- last yrs 2017 Orange kids, Turtle pole, etc. Please work up a nice excuse, then stick with the club for more reaming. Great example Last years orange kids? Some of those didn't even make the top team this year. Or I should say before all the shenanigans....
