Does anyone have the Womens' Open Draw?
Draw to be done tomorrow morning instead.
It could be Westside, Surrey United or Metro Ford Heat.........depending on what happens this weekend in the cup. If SU win, then it might be Westside or the Heat??????????? If Westside wins, we will then play Surrey United.....I think.
Yes needless to say it is a little confusing. And what's with all the Saturday games?!?
You are right about the second scenario, if Westside wins then we play you in the quarters. But did you find out about who the #2 seed is if we win the Cup? It must be Westside so Coquitlam would be the #3, no?
From a SU standpoint, I think that the league should mean more than the cup and the league champions should get the #1 seed. With the cup being #1, we have to win this Sunday in order to avoid you guys CS and potentially Gorge/NS Renegades in the semis. Of course if we win, there is the potential for a semi-final match up with Coquitlam, but you'd have to say the top half is probably a bit easier than the bottom.
Anyways good luck to all teams and this should make for one of the more competitive provincial cup draws in a while!
Hey Captain, you got your wish with City Slickers I see. Good draw, as you should be looking forward to the 2nd round. The best of luck to you and your team. Enjoy the first year of provincials and we may see you after all..... D
Not bad Captain 10 out of 16 posts are from you! Do you always talk to yourself?
An e-mail has just been sent out to the MWSL teams.........
If SU wins the cup, then Metro Ford Heat is the second seed. If Westside wins the Cup, SU is the second seed and Metro Ford 3rd seed, who travels to the Island two weeks in a row. I'm sure SU would like to avoid playing the Heat until the final.........SO, what does that mean for the game on Sunday? I'll be out watching as long as the weather is nice.
SU loses against Westside, they get to play either RCIU/City Slickers who they have beaten handily all season and then face the Renegades(beaten handily) or Gorge, who they beat to win the Provincials last year or if they win, they must face the Coquitlam Heat in the semi-finals, if all goes to plan?
I think I know what route they might choose to go...........
Actually CS, we never played Gorge last provincials - they lost to Westside in the semis while we faced SFC UBC Alumni (who had beat MF/Coq in the quarters). As for knowing which route we'd rather go, I'm not sure if you're implying that we'd throw the game to avoid Coquitlam but on either side of the draw we play at home the whole way so it doesn't matter to us.
I think Westside has more to play for than Surrey since a loss for them means the #3 seed with no bye and two trips to the island (1st round and quarters) versus the bye and then a home match against NS or an island team.
My favourite part about the email that MWSL sent out is that supposedly they realized how the league standings are more important than the cup and that's why Coq would get #2 if we also win the cup. BUT if we are to lose on Sunday then for some reason the cup now means more than the league and Westside would get the #1 seed. I love how this league just makes the rules up as they go...
