Wow boys, based on the money amount written by scorpianking it looks like you all definitely got screwed over by the ANA--they are cashing it all in! At most, the top two teams play 4 hours of soccer, for all that money. The concern is nothing about who plays who in this year's knockout competition, but I agree that it should definitely change into a better format (for example, two groups of four teams...each team plays 3 games within their group...then the top 2 teams from their respective groups imerge into the semifinals). Looks like it's probably too late to change into this format for Los Angeles, goodluck!
