This is one of the finest youth soccer tournaments in the Midwest. Competition is always great and the tournament is held at one venue.

14-May-2008	Scott Huffman does an incredible job as tournament director. Very helpful and attentive.
28-Apr-2008	The tournament was great but where do they dig up these refs. Some were VERY good. But most were too lazy to make the proper calls. I also saw a crew with an average age of 14 reffing a pair of U18/19 regional teams. On through balls the AR was constantly out of position and couldn't get back missing more than ten offside calls. As an official was extremely disappointed with the incompetence of my colleagues. I also saw a ref. throw out a spectator for talking to another spectator, and a player forced to leave the field with no visual injury whatsoever and wasn't allowed to return. Giving a player in perfect physical condition a virtual red card is completely unaccepted and that was agreed upon by both coaches and teams. I would enjoy attending this tournament again but it's definitely not one of my favorites.
7-Apr-2008	This is a tourney that we've played in for 6 yrs. and we've always had a great experience.
