Great tournament!
With all the coaches on here posting for tryouts, maybe we can get some input on various topics being discussed in other threads, forums, around the water cooler, etc.
Location - perfect in SoCal, in every respect. So should it move, or rotate to the east coast? Where? How would it benefit the tournament?
Qualifiers - how to increase participation, especially as you move east?
Returning berths - should a coach with his/her team largely intact carry an earned berth up to the next age group?
Pool Play - should it count for seeding? Do college coaches really want to see more "showcase" format games at a National Championship? Why have available practice games, followed by meaningless pool games.
More live internet feeds - should this be a priority?
Opening ceremonies - were great, but... Hey Dad, who were the Beach Boys? And some food and water might help keep the kids around for the music, speeches, etc.
Note: while some comparisons may be inevitable, let's try to avoid a PGF vs "the other guys" flame war.
Other topics? Thoughts on the above?
