Maple sections

[Unregistered]

I am confused how Maple determines the sections. I thought that the sections were by strength with Blue being the strongest section then followed by Green, Orange, Red, Purple & White. But it doesnt appear that this is the case, at least for the U11 girls. It seems that the sections are more regionalized than by strength.

Can anyone shed some light on this?

The league used to be randomized at U11 Fall. U11 Fall is full of lopsided games because the league is not supposed to know who's good and who's not (you could say Stars is probably going to have a top team, but that's unfair).

So, they decided to regionlize U11 for the first time last year. The theory is clear. If the games are going to be lopsided anyway, they might as well keep the players local.

The first true "Blue" division will be in the spring, when the top two teams from each Fall section are grouped.

The decision to regionalize U11 came after the success of the U10 league, which was always regionalized.

Wow! Maple finally doing something that had been suggested years and years ago.
