Entry #: 3683020
| AGAIN I HAVE SPOKEN WITH MANY OF OUR PLAYERS AND CAPTAINS AND FROM A HANDFUL OF HARTFORD PLAYERS AND CAPTAINS AND THE PROPOSAL WE PUT OUT YESTERDAY IS WHAT WE ARE WILLING TO GO WITH. EVEN THE FEW TEAMS THAT WANTED A FULL MERGER WERE COMPLETELY ON BOARD WITH THIS PLAN AS A GREAT FIRST STEP.
WE HAVE LEFT THE WEEK OF MAY 29TH OPEN FOR THE RIVALRY WEEK (CROSS-OVER GAMES). IF THE HARTFOED LEAGUE WISHES TO DO THIS THEN SO BE IT. IF NOT THEN WE WILL MOVE OUR GAMES THAT ARE SCHEDULED FOR MOTHERS DAY(MAY 8TH) INTO THAT SLOT.
THIS IS A VERY FAIR OPTION AND WILL GIVE THE TEAMS A TASTE OF MORE TO COME, HOPEFULLY WE CAN CONTINUE TO WORK ON NEW AND EXCITING IDEAS FOR THE FALL AS I AM GLAD WE HAVE OPENED UP THE LINES OF COMMUNICATION.
I COPIED THE PROPOSAL FROM MONDAY BELOW.........
After talking to all the team captains in our league either through text, in person or phone calls, and talking to a few teams from the Hartford league, the feedback I got was this...... There were 3 teams that were willing to do a full merger of leagues and schedules but all 3 of those perferred just merging the playoffs. The remaining teams wanted to play within their own league, have their own playoffs, crown a champion and then have a winner take all super bowl between the leagues.
There were a handful of captains who had some very good points on the different scenarios and I hope they will post them as I dont want to misrepresent what their concerns were.
What I feel the teams were most willing and looking forward to doing is outlined below. I feel that Antwon and I have broken down some of the barriers between us and hope we can continue to move forward in the future. The fact is there are differences in philosiphies between many of the players, captains and even Antwon and I and we are still trying to figure out the best way to compromise and give the best product to the players and still be cognizant of the big picture.
Each league mantains their own schedule and status.
One week in the season (May 29th), would be designated as a cross-over or rivalry week. The current standings at that time will dictate the match-ups. For example, we take the standings at the end of week 7 and create the week 8 schedule with Waterbury #1 vs Hartford #1, Waterbury #2 vs Hartford #2 and so on down the line.
The playoffs are held independently.........
PLAYOFF SCENARIO
Complete each playoff, crowning seperate league champions in both the Pro and Open divisions, then have each leagues Champions meet in the first ever CT League Superbowl.
It was also suggested that we hold a Pro-Bowl the same day as the Pro and Open Superbowls, with players selected from the teams that were not in the championships.
TOURNAMENTS:
KING of CONNECTICUT.......
I would like to offer the King of Connecticut tournament to every team in CT and to do that will make it a full merger with Antwon (50/50). Lower the entry fees as much as possible to ensure every team is able to participate.
The ROSTERS for the King of Connecticut event would have to be the same final rosters teams used in their spring league. No add-ons or team stacking.
