So has anyone heard how close we are to finalizing everything? (I know most teams seem to have been notified of their placement) Does anyone know when things are supposed to be announced? I'm very curious to see how the brackets shake out, see how many teams may have disbanded, new teams popping up, how the small clubs will fare with placement, etc. Any insider info that can be shared?
My daughter was one of the "unlucky" ones to skip u15 so she's on a u16 Athena A team that is a mix of girls from basically three different clubs with about a 50/50 split of girls that played u14 and u15 last year. All seem to be very strong players but it's a brand new team so we have no idea what to expect. I have to believe this will be the norm for most teams this year. It's going to be a crapshoot...I would hate to be an age group coordinator during this mess.

For those of you who are team managers who have a bracket placement, where in the affinity website do you see that? I cannot find ours anywhere, and I suspect it just hasn't been decided yet.

I can't see it in affinity. I only got an email from our AGC on July 28 with the "preliminary" brackets (also U16 Athena). The email said not to publish to team members. There was also no date as to when it would be public.

There was also no date as to when it would be public. Same here except ours is u17. Not published yet because it's was "preliminary". The age mandate did a good job of reducing teams for sure. Only A, B and C East/West in the 2000 age group that once has teams thru Athena E.

The U17G AGC is very efficient. Others have a more daunting task I'm sure

Thanks all for the info!
So I guess the GSA Red squads from last year got caught up in all of the GSA player movement? Wonder how SAF is looking too...they fielded competitive teams in u14 and u15, I'm a little surprised they don't have a team showing up. I know they had a couple of players that were being recruited by other clubs pretty heavily though....

I'm guessing there are going to be quite alot of disappointed teams in that age group.

All the big clubs demanding C1 and AA especially for their U13s that were playing 8v8 in U11 last year.

Something like that in the fall and then a triple loss elimination/demotion to C3, double to C2

I heard it was more than 50 teams that applied for U14 Classic 1. This is not surprising since the calendar age mandate combined with the arrival of Atlanta United DA turned the brackets into 52-card pickup. I truly hope they have more than one Classic 1 bracket and let the fall season sort it out. And the big clubs need to learn how to deal with the fact that they don't HAVE to have a team in Classic 1 in every age division.

It will be interesting. One team I know told their b team They would be I & the team is 25% classic 3 players & the rest Cl II . Another all filled w Cl II Players and again told at tryouts they will be I. One they shouldn't be advertising something they cannot guarantee
My son's team was asked to turn in player history, I assume to help shake out - So we'll see how much is politics & how much is earned by the team roster.

Our team manager has the preliminary scheduling dates. Now she negotiates the travel dates and times with the other team managers. Right now we have 3 travel weekends to the ATL with 13 teams in '02 Classic 1

I signed in to affinity sports, I can see the team roster, but how do I see the schedule? Can you only see the schedule of your teaam, if you're a manager, or can you see all Divisions?

They are only available to coach or managers, but GA Soccer is supposed to release them to the field schedulers tomorrow and at that point they are generally viewable to anyone. Now, whether or not they actually release them tomorrow or not is the big question.
