what's unclear about it? top 8 teams that didn't win their district have a one-off match in a 1v8 so on and so forth match-up. Makes perfect sense. I gave an example of why that might suck if one team played more games than another thus finishing higher (possibly) and thus getting home field in...

I have heard a story or two about the coaches poor communication methods there - and favouring certain players regardless of that players attitude. I watched a game last year and I remarked how "I'd cut a certain player after he acted like that on the pitch at this level." (the player was...

That's a typical conclusion date since leagues typically continue until end of February.

This arrangement makes sense, to me. Would love other peoples feedback. The only issue I can think of with this is an unbalanced league schedule. Say Team 3 played 11 games and finished 1 pt behind Team 2, but Team 2 played 14 games...you know?

lol what a great example of why they need an administrator! ;)

Yes, I understand those practices have a heavy focus on individual technique - a kid on my team has been going (not sure how long) and his individual technique with the ball is superb, surely helped by the Whitecaps coaching (and his constantly having a ball at his feet!). The teams from...

Have always thought this was ridiculous. Div 1A, Div 1B.....just call it Div 1, 2, 3, 4 - we're fooling the kids and parents by calling them something they aren't. Unless Div 1A and Div 1B are the same in ability (ie, east/west division) - two balanced divisions in the same tier. That's of...

Not sure what you mean - but I've watched plenty of div 3 and house games - and the standard is the same. Div 3 is outside of "B" cup so I don't really see why it would be included in a B Cup league. Do any div 3 teams compete in district cup? I assume not since they don't compete in B Cup. In...

Div 3 will be "rec" (outside of the Coastal B Cup). It is, for all intents and purposes a house league. I see no need to have a rec league in a "competitive" stream. Div 3 is rec.

I realize I may sound contradictory. I believe rec and competitive should be separate leagues. But I believe all leagues should be under same umbrella. But, I just don't see why a Div 3 is necessary when it's house, but there is already a house league. The cynic in me has a theory about why they...

This only matters if the house league will still exist or not. If House won't exist, and BCCSPL is running the rec/house leagues then no problem. If house is going to continue to run, why have a "rec" division 3?

div 3 would definitely be rec - but isn't there a "house" league still? if so, why even have div 3?

the way 5-district did cups the last few years was superb. indeed a new cup after Christmas against similarly ranked teams was fantastic. for many reasons.

Yes those are things worth questioning!

Do you believe it to be a negative thing that Metro is joining BCCSL? I believe the less umbrella's we have the better. This should also open the door to move team movement from div 1 to metro - particularly when metro teams are losing 6-0 every week for a season or two while a div 1 team is...

Seems to me it's fairly easy. The district winners, plus the highest ranked top tier teams that didn't win their district. 5D used the Group A championship table as a decider the last year or two for their WC selections because those were the top 6 teams based on league standings, all playing...

Why is this talking about national championships in the B-Cup discussion? No one from B-Cup nor A-cup qualify for national championships. It's also wrong...there are 3 levels of provincial cup comp. The winner of Premier Cup qualifies for the national championship. It's been this way for a few...

You brought up that the Caps coaches need to have criminal records checks done. That suggests you believe they are responsible for this incident. You can also be 100% certain the coaches all have criminal records checks done. Guaranteed. Ok. Thanks for engaging in conversation but I'll end it...

The police were involved from the beginning. Who said otherwise? Why are you talking about the coaches as if they were the offender? None of them were involved in the incident in any way, shape, or form. Define proactive? Do you believe the Whitecaps don't outline behaviour expectations for...

2 games? That's not enough! ;) Should be 3 games - but I understand how many teams that involves. I assume games are 30 minutes? 2x15 halves.
