Plano D1 Teams

I actually think there are living humans reading this thread...Thanks, my faith is restored. I did take a moment for the snails.

You welcome. Next week, InaB will bring cookies too. I won't bring anything ofcourse, cuz I'm a guy.

LOL...bring the beer!

Ask textiger and some of the others. Intrinsic must have been in another division. IMO, part of the reason that Arlington is seeing some new faces this year.

If anyone wishes to voice concern to someone who can do something about it, here is the Director for U13.

This on the individual teams and their managers. Tiffany is waiting to get both team reports before posting the final scores *Remember what happened during the Plano Labor Day Tourney to the 04's (wrong score got posted, team that earned slot in brackets never showed up....) 01 scoress have been posted in a "drip drip" fashion which tells me that she's posting the scores when she has both reports. It could be worse, she could be waiting until all the games are reported then updating the site...

If both teams don't turn them in quickly then the scores don't get posted quickly. I recommend a text right at the end of the game, then scanning the game report and sending from home. If the Manager doesn't have a scanner, then have the manager expense against the team ! (LOL)

This is not a tournament where a mistake has potential for a problem. This is an ongoing league. If Lake Highlands can figure it out 100% then Plano can too. We do not need both teams and ref to submit before initial posting of a score. It is not a requirement in other Plano age groups. This is a director only requirement. We dealt with this all last year. Understanding this is a volunteer without a DD in our league but better response is expected. Some change needs to be made! For those interested, you cannot volunteer to be a Plano director in an age group where you have a DD.

If enough people are not satisfied I would hope that they would want to make a change. Obviously there is always a better way of doing things so if you truly believe in your product(PPL) the choice is easy, fix what people are complaining about. Hopefully someone will take ownership of the problem and correct it because it definitely can work to everyones liking(see Lake Highlands).

BruceLeeRoy, I have only one thing to say.
“The stillness in stillness is not the real stillness; only when there is stillness in movement does the universal rhythm manifest.”
― Bruce Lee

Perhaps this is all too simplistic, and maybe it has been said before, but a simple solution IMSHO.
Have the score come right from referee’s card, with a signature from the managers and coaches from each team, and then submit said card to the director for data entry. Too easy, what am I missing?

Ah grasshopper, to get to your simplistic end, you must first learn the ways of the warriors before you. Repeat after me, waxa on, waxa off, waxa on, waxa off.............. When you can take the penny from the referee's hand, only then can you trust the system to work.

Waxa on, waxa off, waxa on, waxa off. Ahhh... enlightenment.

There are definitely children viewing this site!!! The problem is.....they're 40 years old!!!!
Ha!!!!!! "Lord, I apologize fer that there remark...Amen"

OK, scores are trickling in. One huge ouch in Plano D2, Melissa 13 Wizards 1 - talk about a pounding.

Only D1 scores, DTXN Ft. Worth 2 - FC Dallas West Gold 0; AFC Red 1 Sporting FC 3;

I know I may be a mere caterpillar compared to the butterflies on this site, so help me understand why everyone on this thread is so antsy about PYSA scores being posted post haste.

If you have a DD on a PYSA team, then you should know her team's score (unless you have a restraining order and are not allowed to contact her or be near her, in which case you have bigger problems than hanging out here). If you have a friend's team you are keeping track of, a quick 10 second text would give you that enlightenment which you seek.

If you dont have a DD or a friend, then what is it to you what a game's score was? IMHO, it's too early in the season to crown a champion. In fact, I can tell you with confidence that it will be very crowded at the top of the standings, and also at the bottom.

"scores are trickling in". I wonder if all will done by the time Thrusday games come around.

Anybody need a snail joke?

Santos, you are taking things too seriously. This is just conversation. I had a DD in Plano two years ago, and the scoring updates aren't any better today than they were then. We aren't crowning champions (but we are having a killer time with the snails) we are just having a bit of fun. If you have a great snail joke, chime in.

I'll start (not that I haven't already).

A snail goes to a used car lot to buy a car. The sales person asks, "What are you looking for in a car?"

The snail says, "I want a really fast car with big side doors so I can write a huge "S" on each door."

The salesman says, "That's a weird request, why?"

The snail says, "Because when I drive through town I want people to say, "Look at that S-Car-Go!"


Why did the snail cross the road?

I don't know - but I'll let you know when it gets here!

Boom Swish!


What do you do when two snails have a fight?

Leave them to slug it out!


OK, I am officially exhausted.

Sorry, I'm not usually a party pooper.

A man arrives at a halloween costume party in street clothes and a woman is hanging on to his back. The host says "and what are you dressed as?" He says "a snail!" The host says "and who is that woman on your back?" "Oh, that's Michelle."

As you were, carry on.....

I am diggin' the soccer ball hat!

What did the snail say when it rode on a turtle's back??

Wheeeeeeee!

I liked the phone in version with got soccer. Scores can immediately be sent in and changes can be made. Once the director confirms the score the change option is eliminated. Never had an issue for the 3 years of rec coaching using got soccer.

Last season in D2, we had to wait for up to 2 weeks to get the score updated. It was very frustrating.

Oh man, Blues, if we went to phone in, we would have to lay off all the snails. Think about their families, their careers, their slime trails!

I may have to start a save the snail mail rally. I did a rally once against the rampant use of naugahyde - I mean really, do you know how many baby naugahydes had to give their lives so your grandad could have a barkalounger?

I mean, I know that having scores delivered on a timely basis is a good thing, but if it means putting millions of snails out on the streets.... Crunch, crunch, crunch. Ah, darn it all, I just took out a dozen of them pacing around trying to write this plea.

Pardon me while I go wash off my shoes and destroy the evidence.

Wait! Technology has progressed, WE CAN USE PIGEONS!
