THIS IS THE TOP BOYS EVENT IN THE ENTIRE REGION! We added Girls U8-U15 teams FOUR years ago and those divisions have taken off too. We are and have been ranked in the top 50 in the USA for years! This event is a who’s who of Midwestern Soccer teams along with teams from TX, CO, MI, OHS, IN, IA, KY, MO, IL, WI, CANADA, TN, OK, AL & AR.
We hope to accept all teams that apply. However, with the quality of the event and numbers increase every year for the last 5 years, we may have to trim a few teams. If your club brings 5 or more teams, they will all be accepted. We also use a number of resources for determining who makes it into each year’s event. We start with looking at where teams want to be placed. This does not make a huge impact on placement, but we can at least have a starting point. We use all of the data on your application and the NOTES section is huge for helping us know more about your team. USYSA National League and Regional League teams will be in. GAL & ECNL programs will also be accepted. We use results in these leagues, plus your local league, State Cup Results, Tournament Results, National Soccer Ranking, GOTSOCCER scores, not rankings, past Fall Festival results, Regional Experts from other clubs…You name it we use it. Make sure you fill out your application and notes as complete as possible.

We use a number of resources for team placement in each bracket or division. We generally have Premier and Gold in every age group and Silver for those divisions with more than 24 teams accepted in them. Diversity and competition are #1 priority’s. We try to avoid you playing a team from your state unless it is Illinois and sometimes Missouri. All of the criteria listed under the first question are also used to help determine brackets. Recent league play, strength of league, ECNL, NPL, USYSA Nationa League Standings and results, performance in State Cup and USYSA Regional’s, other top-level tournaments, diversity with geography, and other criteria go in to our bracketing decisions.
No, all teams must register electronically. For details please click the REGISTRATION/CHECK IN button.

For those teams not accepted, we either destroy your check or return it. This process makes it easier for you to get your money not having to wait for us to mail back a refund. Large clubs can write one check. Bring 7 or more teams...get automatically accepted.

We will do our best to help with these coaches conflicts. Two teams is usually taken care of, but remember there is drive time between the sites that may or may not be able to be taken into account. Three teams is possible but we can’t guarantee that the coach will have no conflicting times.
