Looks like a good tourney! Wonder why FCD Barnes is in Bronze? I would think they should be switched with FCPremier in silver, otherwise I think it looks good!

Ok so are these dates correct? They will play two games on Sunday? When are the playoffs done then. ? It seems like a little backwards to me if those games are to be played Monday.

It is just four games. No playoffs or anything.

Yay! This Marine gets to play Reveille for the family on Saturday morning! 7am game! Woot!

If you are looking for medals and trophies, King TUT isn't the place to get them, 'cause there won't be any. Four game "friendly" format. Same goes for the Michael Brown tourney sponsored by FC Dallas in February.

That . . . or maybe it's to get a guarantee of 4 solid, competitive preseason/pre-QT games on some kick-ass fields. Nah, that can't be it. WHERE'S MY TROPHY DAMMIT!?!?!?!

When the TUT was started by the Magic SC, Puma was the only game in town. The feeling was another venue closer to Dallas would be nice. Also, remember this was pre-Academy and when tryouts actually lasted at least the first week of July, so other than a scrimmage or two, these tourneys were typically the first time a coach had a chance to play with his 'new' full side.

More than a few coaches liked the idea of a guaranteed 4 games with their new side rather than worry about a trophy. Of course, plenty of parents still can't understand the concept.

Yes, the friendlies format allows Tut to put 5 teams together who are all close to level. The idea is that your team will have 4 challenging games instead of having one challenging game and two easy games as is usually the case in a tourney that plays all the way to quarters, semis and a final. Those type tourneys put an A, B, C, D team in each of brackets. So at Tut, the 5 toughest teams are in Platinum A, the next five are in Platinum B, and so on.

If it is the top 5 and next 5 and so forth, where do they get the rankings? These brackets don't match with the rankings I have seen. Mainly I see Sting Parker is in Platinum and yet they are ranked below teams in gold and Barnes is in bronze despite having a much higher ranking????????

Sting Parker is VERY good...have some good recent additions and just played Rowdies two tough games on consecutive days at kyle owens tourney...they are better than their ranking.

I think the brackets are pretty well done actually....I'm pretty confident that Sting Parker will show well.

I think Platinum B is very competitive overall-Both Andro teams + Sting Parker + Saints are all pretty good teams-although haven't seen Liverpool Thompson play with the big teams the last 6 months.

Will also be interested to see revamped D'Feeters and revamped FCD Renfro (or I guess FCD blue now) in Platinum A...we will learn a lot about them this weekend.

Despite how good Parker may be, I was just curious how TUT decided their brackets, since Parker isn't ranked with the Platinum teams. And in my humble opinion, I heard the hype on Parker, was at the scrimmages on Saturday and still think they are a Gold level maybe team?? But maybe they weren't at full force Saturday? I am looking forward to ALL the games happening this weekend.

When you register to play in King Tut, the team chooses your level of competition.
3 levels were provided to pick from:

- most competitive
- competitive
- least competitive

Your coach/TM determined which level he/she wanted you to compete at and then the tournament hosts divide from there.

I can only assume the following based on numbers:
- most competitive requests received Platinum (2 brackets)
- competitive requests received Gold and Silver (2 brackets)
- least competitive requests received Bronze (2 brackets)

Thanks pro16.

Welcome

Know a couple of dads that moved over to Feet, definetely added some horses, but alot of newness to overcome so not sure one weekend this close to signing is going to show alot. Heard the same with Renfro but these teams should do well in Lake Highlands over the course of the year. Great bracket, should be lots of tough battles in the heat!

Are they playing polo? Dad's and horses...should be exciting games at King Tut for sure!

You know I am kidding of course

Good one momma, too much slang on my part! Corrected, they added some really good players.

So what are predictions of order of finish in each one of group? Who has good crystal ball this week?

Here my SWAG on who wins each bracket (listing finishing order is too tall a task)...

Platinum A = Texans
Platinum B = Andro 02G
Gold = LP Daglish
Silver = Mustangs Navy
Bronze (A) = FCD East Red
Bronze (B) = LP Nicol
