Is it too much to ask to know where and who we are playing next week? Sporting Pulse abruptly ends tonight. Can BSA get their ass in to gear.

will be waiting for pro/rel results (u18B3) and do it all in one hit for div 1/2 as well. - just presume you have a game around the regular times
That is crap. Div 1 and 2 generally do not change. Work the pro/rel around this. I am sick of this. Believe it or not people do have have other things to plan for.

No wonder kids leave basketball, parents get annoyed, Holidays have started for some and people can't organize their lives, cause the most expensive sport to play is also the most disorganized!
Also those hard working team managers don't get a chance to organize their scoring rosters and have to rush around at the last minute
B bloody
S Stupid
A association
Not to mention those families with multiple children who have to organise lifts.
Or those Div 1 and 2 games that are played out of the regular time slot, like last night West have a "development" (money taking) game against Sturt in U16 girls at St Clair. People need to change and reorganise their night around those times.
Or weeks wherre you have a bye and would like to organise something else to do.

There is no reason why Div 1 and Div 2 should not have gone up for the entire season
?

this would be because some of the struggling clubs may want to bail from div 1-2 to div 3 after 5 rounds.
trust me i have seen that in years gone by - and then you would grizzle because the season draw was done and "x" club bailed from div 1-2 after 5 rounds cause they kept on for forfeiting.
How can sturt and west game be a "money taking" game if they organised it??

The development games have been organised by BSA, not by the clubs.
because the clubs keeping pulling teams out.
If BSA didn't organise them, you'd all complain that teams have multiple byes. Again which is because clubs pull teams out.
Which wouldn't happen if BSA actually used their JDOs to put kids into clubs in the first place. Or actually came up with a structure that both enabled teams to enter and leave the competition as well as graded teams into competitions that suited their ability levels.
That's exactly what we have. By running the program 5 weeks at a time it allows teams to come in or leave the competition without having to redo the full draw all the time.
Grades are set based on previous results. How else would you better that model?
BSA employed JDO's are there to introduce kids to the sport. Isn't it up to the clubs to get them into the club?
Seems like another BSA bash for the sake of it.

Surely a schedule arranged a week out from the contest is not too much to ask.
Thats the only 'bash' I have, and a reasonable one to ask I thought.

There should only be four divisions per age group.
One team per div.
That way only committed rich kids have to worry about district. No drop outs.
Better still make it div 1 and 2 and 3 only if you can't make one of those teams you shouldn't be playing district
?
Years ago
leave that to the clubs to work out if they have enough talent to play district.
if we kept it to 3 divs - you would have so many off shoot clubs trying to play div 3.
and if you did restrict the divs - BSA would need to offer another comp - otherwise it is a PR disaster turning willing players away.
