o Coaches Committee voted in June to do away with 50% rule as NCS has done per Gregg Vallee (DOC/ODP)

So if a "committee" votes to do away with in June, how can this be accepted by the full scysa board for the current fall 2012 season?
Are there not processes and procedures with time lines for changes?

Looks likes CESA's decision to place the 97 "B" team in the Premier is going well. Through 4 games, 1GF and 24GA. I don't know if this is a CESA or SCYSA problem. Remember, this team didn't even make the final four of state cup last Spring.

"Give 'em time to learn and improve." And therein lies the problem Delta Dog ....

What about the other 'more deserving' teams in the state that lost the opportunity to learn and improve??

I never said I agreed with the rewrite of the rules regarding roster minimums, and I don't. Especially considering the "convenience" of the timing. But, when we were all speculating back in May/June about CESA possibly officially splitting its rosters, I suggested that clubs with teams we thought would be next in line for a spot (maybe 3rd place at cup without an automatic bid) should make "what if" inquiries to SCYSA as well as getting applications submitted "just in case".

I really don't know the answer to this, but of those possibly "next in line" and likely "more deserving" teams how many actually made the inquiries and submitted the applications? Those that did should have a real beef if they didn't get in, but how many actually tried?

Regardless, that beef shouldn't be with the girls of the '97 CESA team. I doubt they got a vote, and like any group of kids on any team representing SC in R3PLE the first year is usually tough and we need to give them a chance to respond to the challenge of a higher level league.

Did coaches, DOC's for the other "more deserving" teams actually apply?

The fingers are not pointed at the kids but rather at the leadership of CESA and the SCYS Board Members (VP and Piedmont Comm.) who facilitated (and covered up) this farce!

And what of the leadership at the other clubs? You could see something was coming in May. We didn't know for sure what, but we knew something was coming. Where were the coaches and DOC's from the other clubs at that time? Again, did any step up, voice their questions and concerns or submit those R3PLE applications prior to the application deadline? Or did they just sit back and let the steamroller roll?

RECCOS, please tell me the other clubs weren't sitting waiting for a letter from CESA saying "Hi, we were wondering if you and/or any of your members would mind too terribly much if CESA..."
