Wasted trip to Columbus to play 3 ATL Metro teams in pool. All 16 in bracket from metro. Love for someone to do the math of percentage of ATL Metro teams vs other parts of state. My prediction is over 90%.

My prediction is over 90%. Well, yeah - most teams are from Atlanta. Unless your age group has Savannah, Augusta, Macon, Athens or South Georgia in it - and face it, those clubs don't have the strongest teams to consistently be in State Cup year over year in every age group. The mega clubs are in Metro Atlanta - UFA, NTH, Concorde, etc. They field more teams in State cup so statistically yes, you'll play the same teams you played in RPL or Classic/Athena in Spring/Fall. The argument to move State Cup to Atlanta rears up every year. Its not a conspiracy to screw anyone over - there's some kind of deal regarding field space with Columbus - at least the fields are large enough to accommodate in one/two locations. To hold this tournament in metro Atlanta, you'd need multiple fields and for coaches with more than one team, it'd be a traffic nightmare on Memorial Day weekend. Maybe once Lakepoint is finished with the fields and hotels, it'll move there - but that could be a few more years. Just wait until you play U18/U19 you get to play in Metro Atlanta - south of the city in the middle of the week on one of the most congested routes in the area to get there.

My prediction is over 90%. Out of the three teams we are playing...only one is from metro atlanta. The other two-- from Peachtree City and Savannah

Hey SoccerMom, Peachtree City IS considered Metro Atlanta, you must be from the Northside.

Hey SoccerMom, Peachtree City IS considered Metro Atlanta, you must be from the Northside. FYI - it takes me longer to get to North Forsyth or Gwinnett than it does Peachtree City based on traffic congestion alone. So yes, PTC IS metro Atlanta than to anyone in most parts of Cobb, Cherokee, Fulton, etc
