2026 Flights & Brackets:  Click Here

Please keep in mind that when you applied and entered a “suggested flight level” that it is just a suggestion, not a guarantee of your finalized placement.  Your current team placement is based upon your resume comparative to the entire applicant age group pool, along with a number of other factors.  

The current flights and brackets are not 100% finalized.  While we do not anticipate much movement, brackets could change in the week ahead based on further information from coming tournaments, or updated information from you.  We ask that you review your team placement, and then ONLY if you see a glaring error, work through the below listed Flight & Bracket review process.  

To have your team placement considered for movement, up or down, you may utilize the official "Flighting & Bracket - Review Request Form" (linked below).   Within that form we ask that you provide us with direct reasons and supporting evidence for any move that we can use as reference points.  Items of particular use are scores against opponents also playing in this event, or how you finished in other events along with the flight level you played in for that event.   GotSport points are not needed as a reference point.  We can see those in your application already and, honestly, we do not seed flights based on GotSport points. 

Additionally, we do realize that every team in this year's Keystone Cup is a "new team" given the US Soccer initiated age group changes from "birth year" to "school year".  All teams will have had roster turnover and we understand that most teams are still trying to figure out what their new level is, particularly becasue this event is often a first event of the season.  So while you can appeal your placement and state that you're a "new team" as part of your reasoning, we will need more substantial detail to the components of your roster make-up than that simple "new team" reasoning.  Unless your team has had an almost double digit number of new players on the team, please do not use that as the basis for a re-flight appeal. 

Lastly, we will not entertain, or replying to, appeals that list nothing more than statements to the effect of "we need to be moved down".  Information and context must be provided.  

If you would like us to review your team placement then please complete this official "Flighting & Bracket - Review Request Form". This is an E-Form and will be the only format in which we accept requests for revision of placement.    

Submission Deadline = Sunday, August 16, 2026 @ 10:00pm

Requests for review of flight placements will not be considered if submitted post-deadline. 
 
Please be aware that there is no guarantee that your flight or bracket will be changed by submitting a request for review.  We will review your request, but it may not change your placement.
