Xml data

Question

My xml doc is returned with these two elements that are effecting the query:

<league xmlns="http://feed.elasticstats.com/schema/basketball/schedule-v2.0.xsd" id="4353138d-4c22-4396-95d8-5f587d2df25c" name="NBA" alias="NBA">

<season-schedule id="5ddc217a-a958-4616-9bdf-e081022c440b" year="2013" type="REG">

  <games>

    <game > ect...

Since were using xdoc.Descendants("game") I should be able to query the doc even if these elements are included, however I get a null...

 

The class also includes a "root" reference:

[Serializable]

[XmlRoot("game"), XmlType("game")]

public class Games

{

 

 When I remove the two elements the query works!
