LHGCL Spring Roundup WILL have Monday daytime games

In case anyone else has made the horrible mistake that myself and a few others did in not realizing this tournament goes through Monday the 18th. TD said there will be Monday morning games. We have 5 players in school that day and ALL my parents are working. I am just sick that I made this mistake.

If Monday games are a problem for your team, I suggest not signing up for big out of town tournaments like Vegas Cup or Presidents Day tournament in Phoenix. Both host Monday games especially if you advance beyond pool play.

Agreed, but this "our local" warmup tournament...I know we are going to run into problems with Monday games if we are scheduled...We should have checked a little closer, but how often do we see a local tournament extended to non-observed holiday (by many-bankers excluded of course)?

Thank you dadof3, that is exactly what happened. Of course if we were to travel to a tournament like Vegas or Pheonix we would expect Monday games just a huge mistake on my part for not realizing this local tournament would have Monday games. After talking with my parents today they have decided they want us to play so we are staying in.

We are too. We will deal with the Monday issue when and if it is a problem. Good luck!

What other "big out of town tournaments" have you been in Scrappy?

What's your point; you got an axe to grind or just hoping to stir something because you are bored?

I used these 2 as examples because they are held over MLk and President Day holiday weekends. I could have referenced any other tournament like Plano Labor Day. If I offended you by classifying them as big, then I'm sorry you feel otherwise. How about low-rate, make you happy?

My only point is, there will be tournaments (local & Out of town) that will require play or travel on a weekday. So the choice comes down to missing a day of school or missing a day of work if the need arises. It's an individual choice, nothing more, nothing less.

The Texans International Cup has weekday games also, so does ECNL and just about every travel tourney we have ever been to. Jefferson Cup, Surf, PDA, Final Four..you learn to save your annual leave..btw welcome to select soccer

No, not bored at all. And, very familiar with travling to far away places and playing on Mondays. Also, no welcome to select soccer necessary (been there just as long as any other "00" parent thank you). I think goodsport and dadof3 were just making a point that a local warmup tournament with Monday games for a "holiday" that most people still work on might be a little odd...maybe not.

Obviously, this holiday is not like Memorial or Labor Day. Most people are off work and school then. @scrappy, if your post was sincere and not meant to be boastful like so many posts on this board, than my sincere apologies. @bronxdad, thank you so very much for the welcome...but as mentioned above, we are just as seasoned to the world of select soccer as any.

"Schedule will be posted by Friday February 8th, 2013."

Well? Where are they?

That would be anytime Friday evening before midnight (or Saturday morning in the wee hours).

Someone is scrappy today.

To me by Friday would have been yesterday.

Here's the link but it still does not look complete. The U-11 division has a fill spot "LHGCL U11 16th Seed" showing up.

Th u13 and u14 do as well but when you click on them it pulls up at team
Kinda weird must just be a glitch with the system.

U11 has Solar dynamo
U13 FC Dallas 00 girls
U14 FC Dallas 99

I thought Vegas was a friendly, any info much appreciated

Ironic that the 12th seed in 00s would actually be the top seed in the U13s if they weren't a placeholder yet they are on the grid as a #4 and the last place...

Most likely a last minute fill in that took the available spot.
