>> [Nino Brown] I think the point loc was making is that CSC won nothing in the fall and NECSA won one.We'll see how it plays out in the spring.<<

If this is what "Loc Dog" meant, then he deserves at least a message board yellow card for the misuse of statistics in an argument. [Smile]

  • In 2005, NECSA had 1 champion, CSC had 1.
  • In 2005, NECSA had 1 finalist, CSC had 5.
  • In 2005/spring, NECSA had 0 champions (or finalists), CSC had 1 champion (2 finalists).
  • In 2005/fall, NECSA had 1 champion (1 finalist), CSC had 0 champions (3 finalists).
  • In 2006, NECSA will have 0 teams qualifying for premier, CSC will potentially have 3.(a)
Even this is a relatively poor context because we're only using a single year; however, at least it gives all of the context of that year and the consequences of that year on 2006 league play.

(a) Of course, if a merger goes through there will be some NECSA players on the CSC teams elibible to play premier; elibility is based on assuming that the teams are combined in such a fashion as to maintain the proper count of CSC players so that premier eligibility is maintained.
