\nQ: How did you guys decide the structure?
\n<\/b>A: Our League Committee sits down together and looks at all the factors in play. These include ensuring everyone gets 2 games, level of competition, scheduling, field availability, avoiding back-to-back games, avoiding too many games in the day – and the big one that we’ve heard you loud and clear over –\u00a0ensuring playoffs take place in one day.\u00a0<\/b>The Committee discussed a number of scenarios, and then finally put forward a recommendation to the Board.\u00a0Then, this gets put to the entire Board for a vote for approval.

\n<\/b>Q: At the end of the Regular Season, do teams move up\/down a tier.
\n<\/b>A: Yes. There will be one more movement at the end of this round.
\n<\/b>
\nQ: How many teams do we have this year?
\n<\/b>A: We have 25 of 26 teams playing in the playoffs this year!
\n
\nQ: I sent in some feedback, did you take it into consideration?
\n<\/b>A: Yes! And it was great to hear all the ideas\/suggestions from the membership… on a few topics, the feedback was split right down the middle. It was great to see people so passionate! The League Committee used all this feedback to decide the structure.<\/p>\n
\n<\/b>A: This is never an easy decision, as we know people have a lot of opinions on it. In the end, it came down to two things… it provided the\u00a0most number of teams<\/span>\u00a0with a level of competition that more closely aligned with their skill level and the level they have faced all year. And, second, it avoided a system of numerous bys in various divisions. This ensured a smoother and easier playoff day for all involved.<\/p>\n
\n<\/b>A: Well, using our ladder structure, the top team in our league will be the overall winner and take home the Flaherty Cup. However, we’ll also have some fun trophies for Divisions 2,3 and 4.<\/p>\n
\n<\/b>A: So. Awesome.<\/p>\n
\n<\/b>A: If you lose your first game, you are out of contention for the trophy of your respective division; however, you will get to play again in a consolation game! Everyone is guaranteed at least 2 games!<\/p>\n
