Referee evaluation forms are being submitted occasionally and the Board continues to try and find commonalities. It was requested by Janice that teams submit these forms for each game and include specifics so that better conclusions can be drawn. A lengthy discussion on the League structure , how to promote development, make the League play mean something and make things fair for all teams took place. Lots of issues make this a difficult task although various suggestions were proposed. It was mentioned that women's soccer has successfully been using a tier system for years.
New teams start off in the bottom division, unless a solid case can be made for starting higher.
That the tiers play league games strictly within their tier and that they playoff for the same level Provincials as the Tier they played in. This would make the League play mean something as well as make scheduling for League and playoffs a relatively simple matter. Note that Kelly will investigate submitting a request to Alberta Gaming Commission to allow us to use Casino funds for out of province travel. Normally, the Casino funds can only be used within Alberta. Ranking of the 10 teams for 'A' Playoffs will be done using a win percentage of only those games played amongst the 10 teams involved.
