Interesting tournament article - seems like this may be a trend these days. Obviously this is an indication that some tournaments may be in trouble, but does this translate to clubs also? Anyone know of other tournaments or clubs in the same boat? http://www.topdrawersoccer.com/component/option,com_topdrawer/Itemid,306/nid,7816/
Well, it says that the tournament was facing increased competition from rival tournaments in the area, so it sounds like this is mostly a matter of the market being saturated. I've no doubt that the economic situation will have some impact, but this article seems to be the story of a beloved, but not particularly prestigious, local tournament running up against stiff competition.
