BenFisk'sBiggestFan Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 https://www.thewhig.com/sports/local-sports/local-soccer-coach-part-on-new-national-soccer-league/amp Good article. Mentions maximum of 7 internationals (I wasn't sure if that was official before). As well, it mentions that we have a former MLS scout in the CPL. I wasn't sure how much they were focussing on scouting, but this is promising. Ivan, CDNFootballer and Kent 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Semi-monthly would be twice a month, bi-monthly would be every two months. Either that or my mortgage payments are going to start coming out twice a week. ?

It's best to stay away from terms like biweekly, bimonthly, semi weekly, etc. Although I can't seem to find a source giving two opposing definitions to the "semi" words (I did like 10 years ago), I still see it for the "bi" words. https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/explore/bimonthly/ And from google. bi·month·ly /ˌbīˈmənTHlē/ adjective 1. done, produced, or occurring twice a month or every two months. ted 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gopherbashi Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 "In the event of a tie, away goals will be used to determine the winner. New for 2019, there will be no extra time with kicks from the penalty mark to be used at the end of the second leg to determine the winner." I assume that implies "unless tied on away goals"...

Yeah I don't like that much at all. I also don't understand why the CPL clubs are split? Edmonton because they have played in past years at least makes a little sense... but why Winnipeg and Hamilton?

They justified it by saying they were founded in 2017, while the others were founded in 2018.

michaeltfc91 Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Could have and should have easily been the 7 cpl teams with Ottawa and the two Div. 3 teams playing to get 5 winners joining the 3 MLS teams...

m-g-williams Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 If they want to legitimize CPL as a Tier 1 League, CPL teams should definitely not be entering lower than the MLS sides. Sure, they'll likely get beaten, but A) it's year one, so whatever, and B ) it gets fans excited for a potential David-and-Goliath scenario. Doing this way is *not* the right way to start things off.

dyslexic nam Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 I posetd in the actual V Cup section, but will repost here because it si where much of the discussion is taking place... There is so much that is baffling about that. Why would the CPL teams start at different stages of the competition? On what grounds do 3 of the CPL teams get passes into round 2? Why would the Fury get a pass until round 3? Why would Fury be put on par with the team (Impact) that is loaning them players not good enough for the first team? Why would TFC get a pass right to the SF stage (are there any other competitions where a team gets a buy into the medal round)? grande 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dyslexic nam Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Why not... L1O & PLSQ playoff for one spot. Winner of that plus 7 CPL plus Fury = 8 teams going to 4. Those 4 plus Impact and Caps (TFC gets a buy due to defending champ) = 6 teams going to 3 Those 3 + TFC (this duplicates the idea of questionable idea of TFC getting a buy into the semis that I objected to above, but overall seems better than what was proposed) = 4 in the semis, and proceed and normal. ted 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 They have outdone themselves in making the most convoluted plan possible. However I guess it is what it is for this year. Hopefully it levels out in future years because I don't think anyone is buying the logic. Maybe the three MLS teams and the Winner of the CPL get byes next year. Ottawa should absolutely not get any leg up in season 2 (of course its a moot point when they will be in the CPL by then anyway ) Just now, dyslexic nam said: Why not...

I feel like they spent days locked in a room coming up with that plan and then someone rationale came in and said something logical like the above and now they are just too embarrassed to go back.

Keegan Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Missed opportunity - clearly the CSA is still bending over backwards for other parties. I think any potential champion should need to beat at least 3 clubs to win. Ottawa should not be in the 3rd round like why? They’ve literally won 1 round in the history of their involvement? How are we having our national body say a USL team is ahead of CPL? Look at the signings rolling in - it’s a complete joke that teams in our league are disadvantaged because of that. We should be forcing the MLS teams to run a gauntlet through CPL teams to maximize exposure, interest and revenue. How is this not common sense?
