First of all I could give a flying monkeys wrench what they do on the 12u poll thread this is the the 10u poll thread. Secondly, I agree with you that pool play scores should not count either for the specific reasons you state, and that applies to friendlies and scrimmages also, so your tunnel visioned intellect manages to agree with mine in this case. And why would I be bitter about getting beat? If you were the better team that day then so be it...you could be the better team all year for all I know, but that as I said before in the preseason poll thread that will work itself out on the field which is why these polls are sometimes worthless. However I choose not to live my entire life through my daughters 10u team to the point where I cannot see the opinion of others as valid, they are after all 10 (though some may be 9 or 11). No one in 5 years is going to remember what happened at 10u anyway. Also I look forward to seeing your team again as they are well coached and play hard...although I cannot say the same for some of their fans! Oh and lastly you didn't really use any words that were above a third grade level so to answer your question, no none of those words were to big for me.
