PCOV is happy that Poco sh*t the bed, cause now they at least get to play a meaningful game before the Provincials start. After an early knock out in the Cup this playoff game will give the team a chance to finally get the guys out again. If West Van didn't choke yesterday there could have been a 3 team round robin to see who wins this year league cup. What's up with Poco and West Van of late?Maybe we can sign my avatar as 3 more players so we can field a full squad for once.
How is the tie breaker actually decided? Head to head?
Really Yoda? You change your avatar to the league trophy when obviously we weren't even told about the game? That's how you want to be named champs? How the hell was this game not even posted on the league website? A playoff game for the league title and the number one seed out of the VMSL for provincials and they don't even put it on the schedule? What a joke.

Thanks Yoda as I'm having to go to marriage counselling this week as my wife was pissed off that again I missed out on family time on a Sunday. The worst part is I was looking forward to watching this game and having a few bevvies. What a complete waste of my Sunday. At least I got home sober and was able to cut my grass. Congrats to Poco for getting first place.Easy Gomesy, it was just a dig.
How not a single one of your team didn't know about the game is beyond me. Our whole team and a referee knew and showed up. As well as Conductor!! And nobody talks to him!
Not sure where the miscommunication was but it was unfortunate.
Besides, nobody gives a shite about the league. Just ask Dancin Bear
Yoda, In no way am I upset at anyone from Poco for this, I'm upset with the league and this situation in general. I just think it's a bit bizarre to put up the trophy naming yourselves champs when we didn't even play.
Jack The Lad, I'm sorry that some of your guys postponed vacations. Considering the email is dated March 3rd I know that must have been tough to change things on such short notice, but that doesn't change the fact that we didn't know about the game. When was the last time a game was scheduled without being on the league website? Especially one of this importance. You said yourself you 'replied all' to confirm the game time. Obviously we never did because we had no idea.
I have no doubt that PCOV had no idea, I'm just not sure how that happened since Poco and the ref showed up as planned.
How can the biggest game of the year not be posted on the website not be discussed in this forum. Why would you want to keep secret a game with the weather it has been, an event that would draw out a big crowd.The fact that neither happened makes me think that PCOV truly had no clue this game was scheduled.
Really surprised
The original email was sent to Joe Rocchetta, Geoff Catliff and Angelo Pulice and myself. I replied all and confirmed that we had received the email. I did not receive any bounce backs. We had 16 players (most had close to an hour drive) show up ready to play. Some postponed their spring break family holidays to play in the game. This smells of a Pork Chop conspiracy to me. This is the last email we received:

Please confirm receipt of this email

Now there's a guy with a plan!All we need to do now is in the fall, not tell Alberta, Manitoba and Sask when the games are and we can get that other trophy back here.
I just wish this sh*t happened for Roma in the BC's so that we may actually win a game! LOL no doubt that this contest should be replayed, but after having that last glass of draft with Sir M, we figured that there is no way the League can take POCO's name off the trophy as it would be a considerable cost to do so.Me and Conductor were discussing it over a pickled egg and a glass of draft at the Ivanhoe this afternoon.
