There probably isn't any significantly better way, there are always trade-offs, with a perceived benefit there is probably a notable drawback that's associated with that change.
Each district is responsible on how they handle district play.InThePipes wrote: ↑Thu May 06, 2021 10:43 amThere probably isn't any significantly better way, there are always trade-offs, with a perceived benefit there is probably a notable drawback that's associated with that change.
I think my primary request would be to allow teams to have a bit more schedule flexibility. Some district schedules are packed with 18-20+ games with several/many of those games against an opponent that is likely to result in a non-competitive contest. I'd recommend that you think about scaling those district schedules back a bit, allow teams more of an opportunity to create their own schedule (add a tournament or a handful of scrimmages) that would hopefully create more competitive experiences for both teams.
Right, just a conversation point to hopefully improve the experience for everyone instead of trying to hammer the "everyone must play everyone 2-3X" mentality in some metro districts even when you know the games won't be within 7-8 goals. Part of this is related to team formation decisions in these associations, so I acknowledge they are interrelated.elliott70 wrote: ↑Thu May 06, 2021 10:48 amEach district is responsible on how they handle district play.InThePipes wrote: ↑Thu May 06, 2021 10:43 amThere probably isn't any significantly better way, there are always trade-offs, with a perceived benefit there is probably a notable drawback that's associated with that change.

The farther from the center of the world (metro) you get the more flexibility in scheduling district games
