Surf Cup's Fate

And just by coincidence within a 2-3 week window every state and pretty much every country in the N Hemisphere had the same spike as well?

I guess they all opened up their restaurants in Oct as well.

Actually, in October we had a national conspiracy to close all restaurant windows and reset the clocks to make it dark in the evenings.

I think the illuminati were behind it. It's where their name comes from.
 
Fair enough. You can see how the argument is circular and how your characterization of quite a few teams is just as vague as someone saying many teams aren't coming. Surf is on until it's not. If it's on, safe travels and enjoy your time in AZ. Hopefully your matches are played on the pitches at SSC.
Thats exactly my point, the vague answers after claiming 450 teams and 85% being pulled makes it very hard to be credible. All I asked for was who are these teams? How can we trust assumptions after claims like that? Let's just see what happens.

I just find it more than entertaining that you cant really explain why pretty much everywhere in the N Hemisphere had the same spike within roughly the same 2-3 week period.

Your go to is well it must be restaurants and bars. As if magically everywhere in the N Hemisphere bars and restaurants all by chance also opened up in the same 2-3 week window.

Hey I wonder if this square peg fits into that circular hole? Didn't the first few times. Maybe this time it will.
 
Just so everyone understands, you dont have a kid playing in the tournament so now you have made it your life mission to talk crap about the tournament and spread false misleading information with no factual basis. Do you even have a kid in youth soccer? What is your obsession with this tournament? Surf team turned your kid down due to sub par play? Vendetta now?

You actually typed this out and didn't realize the irony? You are accusing someone of the very thing thing that you went on to do.

So..to make sure I understand, you are accusing someone of not making a Surf team and then using that as a motive to provide false information about a tournament that is obviously not what it set out to be. And you went directly after their player? Strong, and quite the tuff guy.

At some point we will see what the team list is and then we can rehash everyone's opinion on whether the competition is good or not. There will undoubtedly be opinions, which is not a bad thing.

What exactly is false information? someone just posted that 12 beach teams are going followed quickly by someone saying none are going?
 
So release the teams list, and keep it up to date.

Right now, we have a Surf website saying Beach is in, and a Beach parent saying all teams are out.

Doesn't inspire confidence in the rest of the list, does it? Sure seems like cancellations might be kept quiet until after it's too late to get money back.
Beach parents are very well informed too so I believe them. For the record, i would love my dd to play.

Focus happy, you obviously have not read some of the bafoonery posted on here trying to talk crap about the tournament but then again you tend to post a lot of bafoonery yourself about it as well. Individuals with no connection to the club or tournament just posting false misleading info about it like they have first hand knowledge. What a fine example of adulting here....lol

I am trying to focus! How are they talking crap? There is back and forth on both "sides". Didn't you just see someone post a list of confirmed and validated teams only to be quickly discredited by someone who knows that certain club isn't going, at all, across any age group?

And yes, much bufoonery to be had. I'm confident my bufoonery is accurate and not designed to disparage Surf. My youngest has never had the opportunity to play in a Surf event, league play always took precedence. This would have been a great opportunity to play against teams that routinely play in Surf. But, not to be.

You still haven't figured it out?

LMAO.

Yes, all the restaurants and bars in the northern hemisphere decided to close their windows at dinner time. And all within the same 2-3 week period.

Not Arizona, but most of the country has both winter and daylight savings time. It gets cold and dark at dinnertime. All at once, because we all set our clocks back just as fall sets in. Dinner happens one hour colder and one hour darker. People shift to eating and drinking indoors, and restaurants close the windows.

All of which helps covid spread - if restaurants are open. More people inside, together, with less ventilation.

It's the same idea as restaurants being open in mid summer heat gave you guys a peak in July- except you closed the windows to stay cool instead of to stay warm.

The better question is what is going on in LA.

Happy, I'm trying to disengage from these useless threads, yes I posted way to much again here but I'm going be be minimizing participation now unless there is some useful soccer conversation. Go back a few pages and you will see the bafoonery posted. My kid has only done a few Surf cups and November nights over the years. I really liked last years Adidas cup which her team came out top in their group playing higher ranked teams. It doesn't matter if your kid has played in surf or not. The only thing kids should be focused on is personal development and with the current restrictions this is difficult but not impossible. My kid really enjoys her dad training sessions or double dad training when her friend joins her. We work extensively on fundamentals and mix in some good conditioning also. Yes scrimmage and game play is needed. She trains private with some boys from her school and they get 1v1, 2v2, 4v4, etc... play during the training session. Soccer tournaments are more for club reputations to boast about but you can get the same level of quality play from good friendly scrimmage also. Yes they are still happening. It's sad that 45 other states have all of their youth sports in full affect but California just watches its governor violate his own edicts.

It hasn't been perfect in other states. Although this isn't widespread they are trying to avoid things like this.


They also cancelled a soccer tournament last minute due to a player who was positive at an event 1 week prior.
 
No soccer in socal the last 10 months. No one is allowed to travel out of state to play soccer without being under lock down for 14 days. Now we have this. I knew Christmas was next.

We changed our plans weeks ago.

Giving Grandpa covid didn't seem like a very nice present.

Not really Fauci's fault. He's just giving us the information.

If you have the Rona, then stay home for God and his sake. If we cant see papi and mama on Christmas, then we can't see them tomorrow, right? No day is a good day under this BS idea? If we wear mask, practice 6 x 6 and wash hands, we r safe I thought. Like I said, me and the Mrs are 100% healthy and we will bring Christmas cheer and presents to Grandpa and Grandma. I honestly think this will be the last Christmas my wife's parents will remember so we have to go. We celebrate deeply on Christmas Eve. Guatemala tamales is our tradition with prayer and times with Jesus and his birth. I love Jesus and so does our family.

Ah. Good health to you and yours. Hope it all works out.

We are waiting for the vaccine. They are old enough to be in one of the early rounds. We'll get to see them in person soon enough.

I wish Dr F would say, "if you have Rona or feel like sh*t, please stay home. However, if your up to it, please go spend time with a family member and make sure their ok over the Holidays." Enjoy the poison sir.
 
For olders big Bunch of Surf & Slammers teams added.

This list is completely inaccurate. Must be based on old information.

Today's registered list like I mentioned, how updated is we will see after everything shakes out, adds, drops and the schedules comes out

What's not accurate?

500 teams in this tournament between the youngers & olders is what there scheduling for.
 
Honest question- for those of you not going to Surf, why do you care if others do? Trying to figure out if I need to find some fks to give, because I currently think of a million other things to worry about.

Full disclosure: we are not going- and we wouldn't have even if our club was sending us. But I don't care who is!

Can we talk about something else? Santa? The Easter Bunny?

I think it’s two camps:
1. Those who are jealous that their teams are not going.
2. Those who can’t believe Surf insist on holding a tournament with the current covid situation


I don’t care either but my question is how do you tell little kids that It’s ok for Santa to travel when we are in a travel quarantine restrictions.
