1-9...... Mirror seems to have cracked.

Reccos - Can you clarify 'SCYSA's requirements come State Cup time'? If the 50% rule is no longer in effect, what are SCYSA's requirements?

The score of the SCUFC 97 Elite vs Ponte Vedra was 1 - 14

Just Curious …

The answer to your question will change depending on just who you talk to; but I believe CESA will be required to bring back either 9, 11 or 50% of the ECNL roster in order to participate in the State Cup in 2012/13.

However, I would not be surprised if by now politics would have changed the above, but if not, CESA will most certainly have a fun time dealing with the parents of the B team come November / December.....

BTW: I do not pretend to be a spokesperson of any entity, and therefore I recommend that if you want facts, that you contact the powers that be directly.

Thanks Reccos, but I'm still confused... The SCYSA rules indicate the state cup team must be comprised of at least 9 league players. If the 'league' they're referring to is premier league, then as long as 9 'B-team' players currently rostered in premier league play are also rostered for state cup, then CESA complies, right? Not sure why they'd have to bring back 50% of the ECNL roster unless SCYSA is enforcing the 50% rule, in which case CESA will most certainly have a fun time dealing with parents in November...

Per another thread on SC Soccer: Coaches committee voted in June to do away with the 50% rule. It seems to me, it is gone.

Just Curious, it sounds like you know about as much as I do. Which admittedly on my part is pretty much next to nothing. Contact CESA - I am sure they will satisfy your curiosity!

MT$ME... I understood that the SCYSA member clubs have not voted on approving the 50% waiver
