Looks like the tournament will feature an U21 component. I was going to say this is low, but thats about 30% of the minutes for the initial round of 9(?) games. Link to post Share on other sites

It’s not 30% of all minutes available though. Round 1 is 7 games, so 250/630 ~ just under 40% but that would be the % of time one U21 player would play to satisfy the team requirement. Divide by 11 ~ about 3.5% of all Round 1 minutes per team’s total player minutes must go to U21 players. Or, put another way, if three U21s get one full game each, the requirement is met.

Stouffvillain 523 Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Unimaginative but I have Forge, Cavalry, Y9 and Pacific making it through the first round. I could see FC Edmonton or HFX getting through ahead of Pacific but they both have Forge and Cavalry in their first 3 games so I think they will be working from behind in the last four matches. The smaller squad I think will hurt Pacific in the second round. Y9 v Forge in the final. narduch 1 Link to post Share on other sites
