argh1 Posted April 9, 2005 Share Posted April 9, 2005 Rugby? Is that like a game ..............ooops. It's like Cricket, I need someone who knows the game to sit beside me and explain it to me so I understand what's going on. I just don't get them, and I'm a sports junkie.

Impact supporter Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 quote:Originally posted by DoyleG Only Impact Support has been the one pushing it. At this point, I've now been pushing this less and less. The only reason I saw this as a model at the time is concerning the use or underuse of existing resources and structures notably the provincial select teams. More and more I've been looking at a North American way using the Voyageurs Cup as a Canada Open Cup and the Can-Am Cup as a North American Division 1 Championship. To elaborate : Division 1 - Can-Am Cup 12 teams home and away competition Division 2 - 12 regional conferences (e.g. Great Lakes=Michigan, Ohio, Western Ontario)covering Canada and the US Division 3 - 12 regional conferences Division 4 - provincial and state leagues Just a thought.

Guest HamiltonSteelers Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 I would back up the RCSL as a blueprint. It would be successful if rugby had even half the number of participants and supporters that soccer has... but they have an actual infrastructure which is worthy of copying, IMHO.

DoyleG Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 The RCSL basically replaced the old Provincial squads with far more regional teams. The teams are run by the respective RU's in those regions. Teams are basically run on PDL-Style budgets RCSL Attendance from 2003 (World Football Rankings): Black Spruce (NB): 1,530 Newfoundland Rock: 1,601 Nova Scotia Keltics: 1,652 Ottawa Harlequins: 312 Toronto Xtremes: 2,764 Calgary Mavericks: 883 Edmonton Gold: 432 Prarie Fire (SK): 890 Manitoba Buffaloes: 777 Vancouver Wave: 1,551 Vancouver Island Crimson Tide: 1,222 Fraser Valley Venom: 1,940 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
