AH2K3, my point is that this is a problem that may not be able to be "tackled" at this point in time. Again, I am not involved with it, so I could be totally off-base. But, I do know that utilizing your solution of a come if you can and we can play 9v9 is not the answer, and it is not in the player's best interest. I didn't say that the players wouldn't be interested. I think you misunderstood my use of the word "interest." If the game can be organized and facilitated in a way that best promotes the sport and the players and represents the association in a classy, professional fashion, then I am all for it. "Tackling" is a separate issue. Besides, by offering rational solutions or explanations would suffice.

Will, that is precisely my point. I wasn't using money as an excuse. It was used in the context of, as you stated, fitting in with the budget and timeline that is now driving the thought of whether or not the matches can even be played.
