It takes place every Memorial Day weekend at the Nike World Headquarters in Beaverton, Oregon.

The event features U14 squads (Jan. 1 cutoff), 40-minute matches (the European youth tournament style) and 4 days of top-level competition on lovely fields at the Nike campus.

There are 20 teams in both the Boys and Girls brackets, with the tournament format being four groups of five, round robin play and then quarterfinals through finals, which will be held Monday.

Thus far on the Boys side, Southern California teams Cosmos Academy West, Real So Cal and Michigan side Vardar are the only three with perfect 2-0-0 records.

On the Girls side, Southern California sides Arsenal, So Cal Blues and San Diego Surf are perfect after two matches, as is Washington side Crossfire Premier.

We will keep you posted with more detailed reports through the weekend.
