I'll put my money on FBR. It will be well dialed in after this weekend. There will be 1 or 2 surprises up and down, just like every year, but I'll go out on the limb and predict that it will be very close to it's historical accuracy rate again this year.

I'm sure lh hasn't done any seeding for the 05s at all. They are awaiting the tut results so they can put it all together on Monday.

Or so they can wait for BWGs latest rankings:)

The coaches of these teams don't give a rats butt if they are seeded #1 or #5, they know that QT is a mere formality for them, and they are simply doing what they think is best for preparing their team to play in QT.

...and every year people still come on and quack about about those teams ducking competition...

I went bowling tonight at undisclosed location with Diaz, Pulp and Adames (still there - laser light bowling starts in three minutes - should be really cool) and they all said they're terrified of losing in tut due to seeding implications so they conspired to not have to play each other. They did Roshambeau for who goes to 04s, 05s and puma. they wouldn't tell me who won or lost. 8 more frames to get them to say. It's really important.

What happened to Dallas Rush Voutier in Platinum A?  They have no games scheduled.

What do you think? Anybody believe they're running from competition?

Who really cares if they are or not?

Some will argue they dont care and that it does not matter.  But some could argue that it matters alot.  by signing up and then bowing out after schedules are set there is a domino effect of teams affected.  There are a couple of teams in Plat B  that would probably like the opportunity to play the teams ranked ahead of them to improve where they sit in FBR.  The same argument could be made by a team or 2 in Gold A to play the other teams in Plat B.  either one of Sting Parsons and Sting Scarfone would sure want a chance to move up from Gold B after playing Platinum teams for the past 2 years.  And so on down the groupings.  I would bet the other Plat A teams wanted to play 4 games too

Rush may have a good reason for having to do it but I hear that teams in the past have been punished for signing up and then not playing in king tut.  So maybe you could say that Lake Highlands cares

Agree for the most part. Plat A is clearly the higher ranked of the teams to Plat B. In Gold, it appears the TD was trying to split up the clubs. Gold A is FBR 15, 16, 20, 22, and 31(?). Gold B is FBR 17, 18, 19, 24 and 25. But NFTC, FCD and Sting evenly split.

And there are silver teams higher than the 31 in gold. Confusing.

I can't make heads nor tails of silver either myself.

Why duck now Rush?  It does not make sense.  I hope it's just a logistics thing that is happening with this weekend.

I agree that 1-3 of the "gold" teams could play in platinum B.  I also think that Texans team in gold A is a new team.  How'd they get there?

Oh well, all will come out in the wash.

All of you do realize that when you sign up for any of the FC Dallas "friendly" tourneys (King TuT, Michael Brown, etc.), that the coach/manager request what level of competition the want to play in, and the TD will take those requests into consideration when putting the brackets together... Don't you?

You can lobby the TD to play up or down, and even have your DOC lobby on your behalf. In the end, it's the TD's judgement how he wants to set up the brackets for what technically are a series of friendlies with no official awards.

The Texans team is in Silver A, not Gold.

Ooops! sorry, you are correct. I was thinking silver but typed gold. My brain IS made of clay you know. I blame Dirty Dragon for distracting me while posting...he kept asking for coal. still, I still don't know who that texan bunch is. 'tis nothing of import.

Anyhoo, GOOD LUCK to all the teams playing this weekend. I hope these next few days help these kiddos put together their sides and get them ready for the upcoming season!

I disagree. When we signed up, Tut Didn't let us decide what bracket. They said they were going to look and make the decisions themselves where to put teams.

Goodness a lowly 04 lh d-3 team just tied pulp 05. What does this mean?

Well, then they have changed things and I stand corrected. In the past, the signup specifically asked you to specify the level of competition you wanted to play.

Bottom line is you crazy 05s need to get used to actual results. Pulp is not lp elite. Actual results will matter from here on out. Great group of teams but not the next coming. Talk to me orbit zone.

Can't wait for sting g to teach them an aggressive lesson. 05's need to pipe down. A middle of the pack 04 team has a year of d1 under their belt. Play and learn 05's.

It just goes to show Nortexmaker doesn't really know soccer or soccer teams. I got a call from someone at a game said the most overrated team in Andromeda just took out the Defeaters. Not only did they take them down 1-0, but it very easily could of been 3-0, but the referee swallowed his whistle most of the game.

I highly doubt Nortexmaker has ever played soccer or viewed a lot of these teams play the game. I bet you he has a nice Play Station at home, and is pretty good at Fifa.

Nortexmaker knows nothing about soccer, but he did stay at a Holiday Inn express last night!

Again you twist and turn my words. I think your Bi Polar. I never said Pulp 05 was LP Elite 04. Also I wonder how many of the Girls from His black team Played? Hmmm maybe his White team got better, I can remember Pulp having the exact same result against his Black team not 6 months ago.

Lots of surprises at TUT this evening. Biggest surprise is NTFC Black beating FCD Premeir!! Nice job NTFC!!

NTFC Black beat Sting Parsons and Sting East Gray beat FCD Premier. But you were right about the surprises and that the better teams didn't win tonight. I think it will all right itself tomorrow though. Good night NTX soccer.

Blah blah...I think pulp will get out of 04 bracket with a .500 record at best. I do think it's a great team. They just won't beat the 04 teams 3-0 as advertised. Again the 04 plat is a much more competitive tune up than 05 plat. So orbit I think we can agree that I'm right and you're wrong. No biggie as long as we agree on that. btw...sting g gonna put it on them.

Since when is LP Elite the standard for comparing across age groups?
