Ask the MWSL to provide you with a copy of the constitution. I'd be interested to see how they deal with such a request.
Coachrich. You lost my support there. Districts are what are destroying youth soccer. Districts might have a purpose in principle, but the current structure gives them too much power. Power should rest in the hands of the Clubs. The senior hierarchy is more workable - CLUBS > LEAGUES > BCSA. Albeit, not without its own flaws. As for society (MWSL is one), annual financials (MWSL is supposed to produce these, per BCSA rules), and rule book (MWSL should be able to do this), you have no arguments from anyone. In fact, PCSL, FVSL and VMSL all seem to get these things done with no problem.Naw, you wouldn't like me as I'd ask everyone to amalgamate into clubs & to districts to make things more manageable. Especially when it comes to speaking w/ 1 voice in getting AT fields in Vancouver & anywhere else.
Then I would have the districts meet to draft the leagues constitution as a society, annual financials & most important of all rules in book form that everyone can read.
Yup. A must.Create a Referee mentoring program & pool that would be based upon being selected to a game based on performance & skill level for the game. More women friendly too.
Ditto above.Get proper scheduling software to schedule the league games on the fly.
Review Cup play yes. Districts ... NO.Review w/ the Districts the best format for doing Cup play.
You lost me here. Do you mean for players to play up? If so, youth can't do that either. If you mean for teams to play up? Then you have to play Premier. If a team wants to compete in Provincial A Cup then they need to be registered on A forms. In the MWSL, this means play Premier. The BCSA constitution clearly states that NO team may be denied the opportunity to compete for Provincial Cup. What this means is that any team has the right to play Premier, unless the MWSL simply gives any and all teams the choice of registering as A or B teams, regardless of divisions.Talk to BCSA on having a playing up rule for provincial cup similar to youth.

To those wanting "new blood"...here's your chance to speak up!
Speaking of provincial cup, I think the MWSL has changed their minds about 4 or 5 times on how to do the draw and who gets the 4 byes in the first round. Everytime they make a decision, some team complains about it and they change their minds. Now I have heard that the only team that is assured of a bye is the League Cup winners - Coquitlam - with another bye going to the 1st place Island team. The remaining two byes would be draw randomly!!
How choked would you be if you were Surrey FC Alumni who will probably end up winning the league with only one loss but Richmond (who hasn't won a game) or some pathetic Island team could possibly get a first round bye. As much as the guys complain about the VMSL, at least the powers that be in their league make a decision and stick with it no matter how many complaints they receive.
My opinion is instead of having 12 teams in provincials (7 from MWSL and 5 from the island) with 4 teams getting 1st round byes, just cut it down to 8 teams 5 MWSL, 3 Island) and start at quarters with a random draw that way. Then at least teams have to do well in league to qualify for provincials.
That's my rant for today.
