Here is my beef with SO and the GTHL. Our team is facing it right now. The G has taken away the Founders as well as the Clancy Tournament. That is fine, as long as you create playoffs for all teams. Why on earth in a 9 team division only 6 qualify??? What happens to the other 3 teams that don't qualify? Yes, team starts to fold, not show for practice, no interest in one of the weak March tourneys. If you take away Clancy .. then expand playoffs to 8 teams. Have a consolation playdown? The reality is that all teams pay the same G Fees so should have close to the same games, INCLUDING PLAYOFFS. This is now happened back to back years. I have written to the G, written to Oakman and only heard 'under advisement'. Nothing has happened. Thoughts?
Kinda see some of your point. Some age groups do have 8 is the playoffs. All depends on level of play and number of overall teams in the division.
Same argument about game numbers could be made by those divisions with 6 teams, and 1 & 2 get a bye first round of playoffs. Maybe those parents would rather have kids playing to get what they paid for?
Tourneys were dropped both from a $$$ and from history, where many teams elected not to play. Basically out of the playoffs, everyone is too busy trying to find that last remaining spot of a better team. No one cares about the current team anymore, thus G would have to cancel divisions anyway due to the lack of entry. I'm guessing a big headache.
Simple things like AA tiering need to stop. If you have some many teams you need to tier a division, that means what you need to do is start relegating teams. Drop all the AA tier 2 teams into the A division. Models like that will have the teams quickly figure out they need to win or go away.
If your overall argument is everyone should get the same number of games, then find a good house league program. They keep it even.
It will never be fair when some teams win and advance into further playoff rounds, just the way it is.
G will tell you how many games you will get for your entry fee. There is no guarantee that you will get bonus games come playoff time.
G & Oakman never respond to anything. Under advisement is the standard go away answer.
Get rid of him.
If he goes and someone credible comes in you can bet they will inherit a mess and uncover a ton of corruption
