At the CCS Football Committee meeting, the following changes were proposed.
Following the NCS system of Open Division and D1, The CCS FB committee moved on this idea:
AMMENDED PROPOSAL #1
Re-Seed and Reformat CCS Division One. The Divion One would be retitled “Open/Division 1”
Championship.
Re-seed Division 1 as follows:
Round 1
Game #1-Seed #1 vs. Seed #8
Game #2-Seed #2 vs. Seed #7
Game #3-Seed #3 vs. Seed #6
Game #4-Seed #4 vs. Seed #5
Round 2 (Open Championship)
Game #5-Winner Game #1 vs. Winner Game #2 for “Open Championship”
Game #6-Winner Game #3 vs. Winner Game #4
Division 1 Championship
Game #7-Loser Game #5 vs. Winner Game #6 for “Division 1 Championship”
Rationale: Similar to the current system used in the NCS, it would allow an additional team in the CCS
team to earn a championship and play in the CIF Tournament. (Would move forward only if the CIF
approves as additional CIF Bid to the CCS)
M/S/C 13-0
This would add an additional CCS division (if allowed by CIF) and potentially allow second best (losing team) in CCS to represent CCS D1 championship. Personally, I hope this proposal does not pass.
AMMENDED PROPOSAL #2 Divisions I, II and III would consist of only A level teams. Divisions IV and V would be restricted to B and C level teams. By virtue of this proposal, the five at large bids would be designated to four going to A teams, and the last to the highest B or C level team. Rationale: This would allow the B and C level teams to play competition that was closer to what they experienced during the season. In 2021 and 2022, none of the division winners were from the A League. M/S/C 12-1
This idea has been proposed and argued for on this board. The CCS FB committee apparently likes the idea of keeping A league teams out of D4 and D5 divisions. The committee did note that NO D4 or D5 champs were from A leagues in 2021 and 2022. Further, this proposal would exclude B and C leagues for being seeded in D1, D2 or D3. This proposal makes sense. However, it does move CCS further away from a true equity system.
PROPOSAL #3:
Currently the PAL Bay and De Anza Leagues have eight total Automatic Qualifiers (four for each
division). The PAL is requesting that they are afforded the ability to reallocate the bids as follows, due to
competitive equity within their league:
Bay (A)-5 Automatic Qualifiers
De Anza (A)-3 Automatic Qualifiers
Ocean (B)-2 Automatic Qualifiers
El Camino (B)-2 Automatic Qualifiers
Lake (C)-1 Automatic Qualifiers
Rationale: The PAL would like to restructure their two “A” leagues into competitive equity, placing their
top six teams into their top league. Doing so would create a better balance within the league overall.
M/S/C 13-0
This proposal affects the allocation of automatic bids for sister Pal and SCVAL leagues. There was no change in the total number of automatic qualifiers from these sister super leagues.
These proposals have to gain approval by the ADAC committee, league commissioners and executive committee before it is sent to be voted on by the Board of Managers in its final meeting in April, 2023.
