Very true, big stumble by ASG. Solar Red is on the move and NTXStrikers can move into the 5th and potential key spot !!!

Coming down to the wire. FCD Red, Texans Red North and Solar Blue are mathematically eliminated from 5th or better.

Solar Royal Needs 2 points in it's last two games against Solar Red and Sting West to guarantee 5th spot. If they don't and Strikers win out against Texans Red North, Solar Blue and FCD Red, Strikers get 5th.

Then again 5th may mean squat depending on how things actually shake out.

Don't think 5th could mean that much in D2 just based on the fact that FC Dallas 95 uses players from all teams in the club for the ECNL team. There would only be 4 open spots if FC Dallas (former NTX United), TFC, Sting Blue and FC Dallas South (former Rev.) all stay put in D1 in some capacity.

Definitely some debate. The new rules are a bit confusing but my reading says that any club that fields an ECNL team that is made up of mostly players from D1 regardless of what teams those players came from lose a D1 bye . Unless FCD pulls a bunch of players from D2 and below it will lose 1 D1 bye.

"If a club registers a team for a non-North Texas league, without that team also playing in a regularly scheduled Division of Lake Highlands Girls Classic League, they will lose the bye most closely associated with the group of girls leaving the league. For example, if the majority of the girls are leaving from Division I, a Division I Bye will be forfeited by that club in each applicable age group."

This year the ECNL team (95s) was girls from each team (including several girls from FCD D2/3). Will be interesting to see how it works out for sure.

most other clubs with multiple teams and one of them in the ECNL have ended up with one Premier team. They chose ladies from all their teams in one way or another, and then the other teams had holes to fill. In the new environment, I would think FCD will have to do the same.

And that was what I was unsure of. I assumed the 95 ECNLs for FCD was unique in set-up. I didn't realize that Sting/Solar had girls from multiple teams on the ECNL squad (obviously Feet didn't). Regardless of the club, a team shouldn't lose a bye when only 5/6 of their 20 players are ECNL but then again I don't make the rules.

Also my understanding from reading elsewhere is that there will be no dual rostering. In other words a player on an ECNL team will not be allowed on any LHGCL roster.

Good. The sooner we are done with LHGCL, the better. Anyone that wants our spot can have it.
