To recap, based on the parents I have talked to on teams in CsPL and the comments on this forum the following can be said when comparing CsPL and SCYSA Coastal:

schedules: movement b/w divisions is now no different(lesson learned!); adding teams is now no different(lesson learned!); its hard to manage so many disparate coach/team scheduling needs (lesson learned!) If this was such a big problem before, how in the world did no one in CsPL leadership not see it coming??

policy: no different (in the hands of other person/people)

money: no different or more (I think there was a slight upcharge for CsPL?)

travel: no different or more (included some clubs from farther away for some age groups, excluded some local clubs)

quality of clubs/games involved: no different(some good games, some blowouts, some fields better than others, some teams didn't show)

So the only things left are:
a) It doesn't post scores/standings for u8,u9,u10
b) It excludes some clubs for reasons unknown to members

Since I don't think the value proposition for in having two leagues is just so you can keep from posting scores of the wee ones in one of the leagues but not the other(I'm all for that-did SCYSA turn that request down?), all that seems to be left is excluding some clubs.
