George Pierce Park fields were really small, with lights above the goals (rather than on the sides). The larger fields had younger teams on them. I also heard that younger teams played on full size fields at Scott Hudgens. Overall, unfortunate. Still, it was good to get the team back together.
After watching games this weekend, I feel real sorry for Atlanta United having to play at Yankee Stadium.

Absolutely ridiculous. Poor planning, and I'm not inclined to do this tourney next year.

Between that and the group organization I was very disappointed too. I mean U15 girls had 9 teams total so they made 3 groups of three instead of having 2 groups.

I don't have a dog in this hunt but there's really no way to divide up 9 teams into two groups that would work. Usually groups are either 3 or 4 or 6. If you had two groups of 4 and 5, that wouldn't be even or a team in the group of 5 would end up with a bye (to make it a group of 6 with a BYE team in there) which always ticks teams in that bracket off to no end with the guaranteed 4-0 win.

I've never seen a group with only 3 teams, that said it was a 3 game guarantee tournament. They could have had a traditional 4 team group where everyone plays three games round robin with top two in finals and a group of 5 where everyone plays 4 games round robin style with no finals and championship based off points. Either way $600 to play two teams and playing one of them again as your third game was a joke. At least next week at UFA they have full brackets.
Edit: by groups I meant divisions, first, second and third divisions.

So the third game was cancelled via email.
