Don't qoute me but I've heard from a pretty good source that they'll be 6 teams in 1st bracket and 11 in 2nd and so on. Determining factor is based on last years league play and State Cup. Tournaments are not a deciding factor due to guest players,trying new things,etc......
It will be at least a 10 game season and there will be relagation/promotion after fall season. My guess its going to be an interesting meeting next week when they finalize bracketing. My guess for the new clubs they'll be in the 2nd since there new to the PDL but as far as the 6 teams in 1st bracket? Can anyone remember what the final standings were? or how the teams did in State Cup? Thats what you need to look at.....
OK, That being the case the first two tiers would look like this:
A
Crossfire A
Reign Purple
EFC Red
NWN Red
Harbor Green
WPFC Black
B
Evergreen
Dos Red
ECFC Green
Snoho Black
HPFC Eagles Blue
NWN Blue
Crossfire Black
Sun City Morton (up from PDL-B)
Whatcom Gold (up from PDL-B)
Timbers (new team to age group)
GRFC Pats (new team to PDL)
If they only go by last year's games, they are undermining their efforts for like vs. like competition. They can do better.
Last year is "so yesterday" :mrgreen:
I like the 11 team division however. I would much rather play more teams once, than just a few twice.
