Agreed
As I posted here earlier - several years ago the league instituted a rule that if a new team wanted to join the VMSL they HAD to enter as the CAT team for an existing club. I believe the last team allowed into the league in the open division was Point Grey Rangers B (they couldn't come in as an independent and had to have the same name as an existing club but did not have to go into CAT). They then changed their name to PWC Rangers and now Douglas Park Rangers (what will it be next year? Should we have a poll?).
NOW - because of teams dropping out of the VMSL they are back to letting independent teams in with no club affiliations an no requirement that they enter the CAT divisions. WHAT THE FUKC??? It doesn't affect me either way other than bewildering inconsistency. The left side of my brain aches...
As also stated here earlier - the VMSL should go the way of the VISL: Div 1 (10 teams), Div 2 (10 teams), Div 3 (10 teams) and so on and so on...no more Div 2 A, B and C - it's garbage. New teams start in the lowest division (it could be Div 6) and pay their dues. The calibre of each division is way more consistent and teams settle into place with their ability. The only abnormality is when a very good team has to start in Div 6 and kills everybody until they get to where they belong. So be it...
