I wouldn't worry too much about it, if you are one of the teams contending for the final few spots in VC you aren't going to make the mid season cut anyway.

Would be good to know what the rules of the road are, whether in the second 6 or final few.

Surely it's top 2 in each pool that go through.

Grading has commenced without a grading map? Unusual approach. Can't be that difficult to put something out.

Yeah, the absence of the grading map is odd. Not like it's controversial .....what would be the need to hide it???

Add that to the silence on Hawthorn and lots of other issues mentioned on here in the last two years and you really have to wonder what their focus is in BV.

There seem to be many areas in which they've left confusion or worse.

So it's all good then.

Why is there no grading map? How do we know who qualifies for VC?

Mornington have just announced two teams in VC, not sure how they know just yet.

Club's have received the pools for grading phase 2. So pool xx would be VC

That is a great result, anyone know the wash-up for the other associations?

Dandenong have lured Tamie Harvey away from Nunawading. Big win for the Rangers whose girls program is a shell of what it used to be.

Anyone here know how many teams each Association has got through to VC?

Clubs have access to this, but it is not published anywhere.

Anyone know where to find a grading map - looks like they've all been taken down

I'm surprised that some previously predominant girls programs are down to 2 teams in VC - so are those numbers the VC numbers for the main season ?

Phase 2 fixtures released on PlayHQ....still no grading maps though.

Pools/fixture and grading map are two different things.

Not having a published grading map is a bigger deal because teams don't know what the path to their desired grading outcome is.

It should just follow the usual map from here, assuming the currently scheduled grading and cross overs can be completed.

Given the scheduled calendar just follows the usual process then the map from now on will be the same as previously.

Oh well, just publish it.

Confused by ladders in PlayHQ for this next grading phase, which include points etc from grading phase 1. Does that indicate that VJBL are carrying forward points from last year or is it just an error? Very confusing and would be much better for all if the grading map was published.

I suspect there is no grading map ...

Our club finally shared grading map with parents.

Is it widely known that where wins/losses are the same in Grading that head to head trumps percentage? We thought we'd won our pool....but of shock to find that’s not the case.

Hello can you please share this with me

Any luck on the grading map

It's always been head to head, very widely known.

This was copied from a post from john. Good comparison for this year and see how covid effects this year


VJBL - VC Teams For 2019
VC Divisions have been announced for the 2019 Season. Some bigger clubs with lower numbers than I expected, while seeing some smaller clubs be represented very well.
Anyone over/under achieving ?
I think Hawthorn do a great job, and over the years have seen more and more teams make VC.

MUVJBL 2018/19 VC TEAMS - UNDER-12 TO UNDER-18
Dandenong - 10
Hawthorn – 10
Kilsyth – 10
Knox – 10
Eltham – 9
Nunawading – 9
Bulleen – 8
Keilor – 8
Diamond Valley – 7
Frankston – 7
Melbourne – 7
Casey – 5
Geelong – 5
Sandringham – 5
Waverley – 5
Bendigo – 4
McKinnon – 4
Southern Peninsula – 4
Ballarat – 3
Bellarine – 3
Latrobe – 3
Pakenham – 3
Sunbury – 3
Altona – 2
Collingwood – 2
Ringwood – 2
Warrandyte – 2
Werribee – 2
Broadmeadows
Camberwell
Craigieburn
Korumburra
Melton
Mornington
Sale
Whittlesea

So in 14 boys games the losers of games aa through to dd will all go to Div 2. From the winners of those 4 games, VJBL will choose which 2 go to Div 1 and which 2 go to Div 2.

1) Why would vjbl create a scenario where they are choosing the teams that go through rather than placing them based on outcomes?

2) Does anyone have insight into what they will look at when choosing?
