SCDSL has released the Discover League Schedules.
The rest of the schedules are supposed to be out as soon as they can get them. I've got no issue with the timing. It has to be a nightmare to figure this all out.

"All The Discovery Division Schedules are now Posted!
The Clubs now have the Fall Working Schedule for All other Divisons and Ages! The clubs will be working diligently to provide the League with Fields and Game times over the next Few Weeks, for games that are currently missing Fields on the schedule! The SCDSL plans to release the schedule to the public once enough of the above information is obtained from the clubs.
The DOC's voted in January on the following changes to the League this Fall:
1. Does this mean that youngers won't have Showcases at all? Or just that they won't be at Silverlakes?
2. I'm not the best at math, but it seems that with 12 games for 05/06 and 10 games for 04 and up that some teams won't play all teams in their flight an equal amount of times.
Example 1: 2007 Flight 2 South 1 - There are 11 teams. If they are playing 14 games, how do you schedule that with 11 teams? Play a few teams twice and most of them just once
Example 2: 2005 - Flight 2 West there are 12 teams . Will each team play each other once with 1 exception that you play twice? And luck of the draw will determine which team you play a 2nd time?
Example 3: 2004
Discovery has 11 teams
Champions has 6
Europa South has 10
Europa East has 6
Europa West has 8
Flight 2 has between 6 and 8 teams
How do you get 10 games out of this variety?
At the end of the day, it really shouldn't matter. But we all know that as we get closer to the end of the season that some team is going to get pissed off because they missed finishing in whatever place because they had to play a "harder" team twice while the team that finished above them got to play an "easier" team twice.
