This team was tiered down after 2-3 games are were basically gifted the league and cup.
I said I dont mind if they are unbeaten, but not by large margins of victory. Conversely I dont mind a winless team hanging on if the margins are very narrow.
My issue is a gold team losing 2 or 3 games, getting tiered down and then winning by 5 goal margins. In that case the team needs to be...
I was thinking more along the lines of season to season. But I think sometimes it more about club/coach/team/player egos than doing whats right.
I dont mind seeing an undefeated team. What I dont like is teams with 30 plus goal differentials and being unbeaten or winlesss. In this instance...
In areas where a club has one or 2 teams the club should have a good idea, but in newton where there are several clubs, many teams at certain ages, and a lot of movement between the clubs, it would be tough.
Im not sure what the solution is but tiering after 2-3 games and then holding cup with obvious mismatches isnt it. Maybe 5 games, then another 5, then cup. Maybe 6 or 8 divisions. Who knows.
Thats fine and all but promotion and relegation needs to be done a bit more often. If you look now we have teams with large goal differences at the top of some groups. For example, relegation was done after 2 or 3 games this year. In u17 a team was dropped from gold to silver. They are regularly...
Ea Sports, who makes the annual fifa games, and who charges kids millions on microtransactions in the game, who is also based locally, should fully fund the league since their name is on it.
I don't have any problems with the league or cup format. Sure a round robin is a more friendly approach, but kmockout is acceptible.
At tiering they didn't need to change the schedule or standings. If a team moved up a bye is created or eliminated. If a lower team joins same thing. To redo the...
Yup, schedule changed for us again as well. Going to play one team 2x, another 3x possibly 4x if we meet in cup. All within 2 months of season play. All the while we might not even meet teams for the 1st time until the new year. WTH are they doing? This is crazy.
Looks like they fixed the redundancy in the cup schedule. My only issue now is that they lost a week in Sept by starting late, and now MANY teams are getting another week off. Not too mention many teams already had bye weeks. Let's hope that the weather holds this year. Prime playing weekends...
WCA Davies is in the u17 GOLD 1E and SILVER 1E group? And basically listed as playing a Bronze team that moved up? Can this be right?
And our own team SDU Lighting Listed in u17 GOLD W, playing that same promoted Bronze team this coming weekend. But shows a 1-0 marker.
So can anyone else make...
"A revised schedule and standings table will be issued to begin the second weekend after Thanksgiving. In order to make all games played relevant to the standings, teams that enter late or change from one section to another will enter their new division with the average points of the new...
