To whom it may concern,
The Burnaby Canadians are presently representing B.C. at the Premiere
National Soccer Championships in St.John's Newfoundland. After our first
game which resulted in a 7-0
victory over PEI, an unfortunate clerical error involving our game sheet (an
eligible player's name was overlooked when completing the form) has cost us
a chance to move on to the medal round. We were stripped of our victory
(receiving a 1-0 loss) and WRONGLY accused of playing an ineliglible player.
We have been placed in a position that leaves us without a chance to play
higher than 5th place!!
As a team, organization and defending champions, we respect the rules of the
game and tournament. However, the rules have not been followed by the CSA
involving this particular form's use. This player was officially registered
and IS ELIGIBLE, however a particular CSA representative has chosen to abuse
an 'Unwritten rule" and his authority to punish us and our chances of
victory!
We are a team of working professionals, college and university students, as
well as Vancouver Breaker soccer players, who are missing work (without
pay), school and important engagements to be here to play our hearts out! We
fund raised $8,000 and have travelled across the country for this event!
ALL WE WANT IS OUR RIGHT TO PLAY!!!
WE FEEL BRINGING PEOPLES ATTENTION TO THIS WILL POSSIBLY HELP OUR
SITUATION!! THIS IS HAPPENING NOW AND WE WOULD APPRECIATE A RESPONSE AND
YOUR HELP TO TELL OUR STORY!!
