From what I'm hearing from the youngers is that some are playing with "make shift" teams and not their regular lineups. One prominent team is only playing with 6 of their regular players. Don't know if that's the situation with any of the Surf teams. At least in some cases it sounds like parents had no problem opting out for Holiday or Covid reasons and had no FOMO.
Surf Cup Is Happening! Schedule is up!

- Start date
I know our team has 3 players that aren't even practicing due to Covid worries and have 2 that are nursing injuries so I can definitely see a number of subs or smaller rosters for a lot of teams.

Based on the presented schedule, I definitely see some mismatches on the girls side of things. I am curious what mismatches you guys are seeing right off the bat; Please state them. I'm curious if anyone agrees with me. Specifically in the 05, 04 and 01 brackets Best of The Best Brackets.

The olders schedule has been taken down again.
Maybe they are getting their matchup guidance from this forum and adjusting.
Tech I believe was able to get groups changed because of his information he got at the last minute.

In the G09 bracket, socal teams are doing horrible. They might not have any of the 5 teams make it to the next roud. The boys 09 team, you have two NorCal teams in the final. The rest of the states are catching up. THere's also this thing of too many flight 1, ecnl, ecrl teams going on in Socal.

e-mail from the director said changes could come today and tomorrow.
Sorry. Olders not losers
Weather looks great, typical for this time of the year.
Friday through Sunday: low 60s during the day, dipping down to the high 30s low 40s, depending on where you are in the valley. Partly sunny, nothing falling from the sky.
A bit windy today with clouds, tomorrow will be the coldest day of the week - mid 50s during the day. Nothing falling from the sky.

Texts from friends-of-friends are that these are cobbled together from about half their A team, one quarter from their B team and one quarter from younger A players playing up. Lots of "this was a waste of time" flying around.
Judging by many of the scores, I bet that's a fairly common sentiment. I bet some kids are having a blast, though. In the BU14 bracket the combined scores of the 1st place teams are 70-5.
Clippers were down 50 at the half the other day
Ouch.
there’s one teamon the boys younger side that lost a total of 68-5 over 4 games. Two contests were 21-0... ouch.

Man. That's actually very sad. At the Ulittle age, how do you let your team rack up 21?
Some tournaments, the rules encourage it. Surf is one of them.
If GD or GF is a tiebreaker but is not capped, then teams try to expand the blowout if they want to advance.
This is especially true if they are using the bad design for handling 2 groups of 3.
