Anyone know what Week 2 has in store? 1 v. 2 (FCD Premier v. DT Gall)? Or does the top 10 get an easy head start with 1 v. 19, 1 v. 18, 1 v. 17 etc.? Could make for a season ending showdown between Premier and Gall in Week 19.

Last year the top 10 played the 11 - 20 in the fall and then the top 10 played each other in the spring

Well if you couple what I read in the run-up to the QT about how none of the 2nd tier teams should beat a top ten team and that schedule, the standings could look pretty interesting. 10 undefeated teams tied for 1st place and 10 winless teams tied for 11th! God help the team that breaks ranks - what a feeding frenzy that will make on this blog. By the way, is that how last Fall worked out?

Even if it were scheduled that way it wouldn't be a problem in this age group. As currently seeded Teams 11 - 15 will be very competitive with teams 6 - 10. Should be some great matches even starting the first weekend as 10 plays 11, 9 plays 12, etc...!!

This is a bit of an old thread, but just catching up on what's been going on here....

No, that is not how the last Fall worked out. Last fall DT Craft was the #1 seed and they played the #4 seed Solar Crawford by their second game and the #5 seed by their 3rd game. Solar Red #2 played DTS #3 by the 3rd game.

Here are the links to the QT & the CL U11 (99's) season:

Doesn't mean that's not the way they are doing this year, but it definetely wasn't done that way last Fall.
