The Floridal League
is LOCAL
The concept of "play close to home":
-
NEW TFL MIAMI for Miami-Dade and South Broward Clubs
-
TFL BROWARD for North Miami+Broward+South Palm Beach Clubs
-
TFL NORTH for North Palm Beach + Martin+St; Lucie+Okeechobee+ Indian River Clubs
-
CROSSOVER PLAY PLAYOFFS AT A SINGLE LOCATION WHEN POSSIBLE
-
Willing to host others; contact us to run "your league" for you.
PROMOTION & Relegation
The concept of "promotion and relegation" or team placement was introduced a few years back:
-
The Competition Committee looks at prior results and places your team in the proper division.
-
Input is welcome; the preferred division should be the one that gets you to win some games, lose some games, and tie some games.
-
Winning record, you get promoted; losing record, you get relegated.
-
Player development with the proper challenge is more important than a $10 trophy.
"6 games"
What does that mean?
* 6 games, subject to adjustment:
4 teams in a bracket = 3 home + 3 away games
5 teams in a bracket = 4 home + 4 away games (total 8)
6 teams in a bracket = 5 games
7 teams in a bracket = 6 games one game against each team
8 teams in a bracket = 7 games one game against each team
9 teams in a bracket = 8 games one game against each team, or possibly split the bracket
Playoffs are for the best teams in the league. Sometimes it's top 2 straight to finals, or it may be top 4 with semi-finals. But usually, it is a cross-play of 2 regions (1vs2 and 2vs1).
LEAGUE GAMES TAKE PRECEDENCE OVER ANY TOURNAMENTS OR OTHER LEAGUES' GAMES
-
WHEN THE SCHEDULE COMES OUT, if you need us to swap your home game to the opponent's field - the current HOME TEAM should reach out to tflscheduling@gmail.com
-
WHEN THE SCHEDULE COMES OUT, all communication should be through GotSport CHAT FUNCTION
-
Requests not agreed upon will be ignored; it is ultimately the home team's responsibility to play their home games; please be proactive!!!
-
THE WE KNOW SECTION:
-
We know that it's impossible to get any quick help from GotSport or FYSA!
-
But we also know that our kids want to play the games and that we owe it to them to make that happen!
-
If you have chosen not to attend any of the GotSport webinars, watch any recorded GotSport webinars, or come to any in-person GotSport webinars
-
If you missed all of our PBSL-organized training sessions with GotSport staff
-
And, if you have not done your part to be ready for the season, it is on you to find a way to make your schedule, rosters, player passes, and referee-assigning work in order to allow the kids to play the beautiful game we all love.
-
On behalf of the TFL Volunteer Board of Directors, we wish you all a great season and see you all on the pitch.
