Thank you! (Off topic, now I�m curious to who this is cuz you said my nickname lol).

I honestly don�t know why clubs were denied entry to the CPL (or the newly formed SCCL) for this upcoming fall season. We can have theories, but I�m not going to throw theories out without any concrete evidence. I do think it�s fair for clubs to be told why their applications were denied. Whether that is happening or not, I couldn�t tell you. If it�s a matter of teams, coaching, field space, etc., then it surely would benefit both the club and league to say what factors were involved in a club�s denial. At the same time, a league has a right to run its brand as it sees fit for its purpose & its members.

I�m no longer w/ GPS so I�ll have even more limited access than what I had while I was with the club. I�m looking forward to seeing how the SCCL does & how the CPL continues to do. Although my new club home is not in the US Club side of things, I still think the CPL was a good league & can continue to improve. But, for now, I�ll have to look from afar and see how this ordeal plays out
