-Solar- a hodge podge of kids(most TFC Royal) Not as many of his boys remained as one may think. have heard the same, mix of old Solar and TFC Royal forms the core - was looking for players right up to July 1st
-Tigres- Lost their best defender and keeper to FCD
-Solar Red- may or may not field a team
-TFC Royal- has some TFC Reagan kids and who knows what else, 3 spots still available A few "Castro" players here that did not leave when he did, and some from Reagan, but quite a mixture from other places as well, as Reagan's boys scattered pretty heavily. [color=blue] Reagan's boys scattered
-Texans- most of the boys from Texans Red? Yes Define "most." This is top half of Texans Red. Second half comprised of D1 and high-quality D2 players from two or three other teams. Also had about 3 boys go to Pre-A.
-FCD and FCD Andro- Mixture of FCD Premier and Andro and FCD Blue plus add-ons(remembering that the best of those group ended in Academy) FCD Premier is a mix of Andro and former FCD Premier - some are playing both Pre-A and on Premier. FCD other D1 is a mix of players from all over.
-Real Madrid, Tejanos, Pumas- All had a few special players. Did any of those get poached for Academy or other D1 teams?

D2
-Kicks- Lost their best player to FCD PA
-TFC Reagan- did all his players go to D1 teams? What kind of team will he field? Trevino will take his plano team to fill this spot
-Ayses Gold- Did they get better or worse? Mpatient you know - they should be stronger
-Texans Red- 3 or 4 leftovers and who knows where the rest came from. Wrong again. Second half of Texans Red. In reality, no one left Texans from this team, just were divided between D1 and D2. Remainder came in from D2 and D3 teams.
-Liverpool Wilco- did he get poached? He's been stuck in D2 since U-11. Don't think poached is the right word here. Small amount of turnover but addition of strong, albeit "different," players in their stead.
-FT Worth FC- Lost their best players to Pre-A - I know one went to Solar PreA
-FCD Blue- is there anything left for Renfro to coach with all the D1 spots taking players? Whatever he does get, he will work his "gets the best from his players" magic and pull that rabbit out of his hat. at least 75% of team is new
-Hurst- still posting for players
-Tyler Azzurri and Waco Blast- may be 2 of the stronger teams since they are so far away it is hard for their good players to change teams heard rumor that tyler's forward was moving to DFW for Soccer - anyone able to confirm this

That is an interesting question! I have heard two scenarios if that is true

1. The ninth place team from the previous season retain D1 status

2. If your relegated, your relegated. The 3rd place team from D2 would be promoted to D1.

Happy feet or anyone else know the answer to this?

6. Unfilled Invitations in the League. If any invitations (“Bye Positions”) go unfilled, the following will apply:
a. In U12-U19, if any Bye Position into the Classic League goes unfilled, the remaining invitees will be promoted up to fill those places. Any resulting vacancies in the Classic League will be filled through the Challenge Games.[b] For example, if one of the 10 Bye Positions into U12/Division I is not filled, the club whose team finished in 11th place from U11 the previous year (which otherwise would have received an invitation to field a team in Division II of U12 the following year), will now be invited to field a team in Division I U12 the following year.[/b] NOTE: the 29th or 30th place team (9th or 10th in Division II) in U11 the previous year will not be promoted into a U12 Division III Bye Position because teams finishing in the last 2 places of the bottom division are not considered “invitees” for a Bye Position. If such circumstances

So which one 1 or 2? in non-laywer speak
