Ramesh & Leroy ran the meeting
26 teams currently signed up. Max 32 teams.
Expecting a few more to join from Bangladesh Premier League because BPL is no longer accepting foreign (non-Bangladeshi) players.
2 divisions. Top 6 from last year playing in the top division.
Columbia has asked to stay in the lower division. Smart.
12-14 games depending on # of teams.
Top 8 in each division to playoffs. Quarter, semi, and finals.
8 fields
- Kissena 3
- Whitestone 2
- Stables
- Randalls?
- One more?
Uniforms: 13 uniforms purchased along with registration fee.
Features team logo, league logo, and names/numbers.
I will ask that Columbia have no names and numbers. Tops will be given out before game and collected at the end. This will serve as a test case for similar system in coming years for all CCC teams.
If we want a practice game, we can contact league to pick up matting and play whenever.
Party on 7 April. We got 5 tickets.
