      If they cancelled they would have to give refunds. It’s all about the money. It always is

        The grass fields at Rustin HS in West Chester were perfect today.. Even at the 5pm games. Hope they hold up for another day.

                    The Delco tournament has long been known for its pro-PA biased refereeing and that was on full display this weekend in several games I saw, to an absurd degree. Really embarrassing for the tournament.

                      Totally agree, the refs were awful. I’m pretty sure some of them don’t even understand soccer at all. It was surprising for such a big tournament.

                        sounds like a couple of you need to start taking the ref classes and start reffing games yourself if you are so knowledgable. imagine how great you guys would be! cry all you want, but they are human and unless you are in their shoes you wouldn't understand. it's parents like you shouting from the sidelines acting like madmen are why kids don't want to be a center ref

                          You miss the point. If a ref were just bad, then the bad calls would be roughly evenly distributed -- been at plenty games like that in many places. But that is not what happens at Delco. Numerous refs are consistently biased against out of state teams. When a ref allows 4 or 5 blatantly offsides plays in favor the in state team while blowing the whistle against the out of state team on anything that is even arguably close to off sides or allows the in state team to tackle opposing players without a foul while calling a foul on the out of state team when they even bump an in state player, it is bias. Can an out of state team win nonetheless? Of course, but only assuming they are substantially better than the in state team. I've heard people complain about this bias for many years now.

                            Its the same at any tournament that is run by a host club. You expect hometown bias and thats what you sign up for. It isn't pleasant but it is expected.

                              Do you really think that referees are even looking at where the teams are from when at tournaments? No. They show up at their assigned location for the their assigned games, and collect their fee. Look, the refereeing is hit or miss across the board, and there is no "home state" bias.
