PPL and posting scores

Why can Arlington Premier, Chamber Classic, Lake Highlands, every random tournament, and even PYSA rec league (which really makes no sense) all are able to post their scores before Plano Premier posts scores?

It really makes no sense - the PYSA rec league is run out of the same office as Plano Premier, yet for some reason they can't get the PPL scores posted. What is the issue there?

PPL does not use GotSoccer

Yea, but PYSA doesn't use GotSoccer either (same place as PPL) - yet they post their scores on their rec games timely at PPL (PYSA).  

Here's the link to the Rec League at PYSA:  http://www.planoyouthsoccer.org/cgi-bin/2013_Rec_fall/schedules/

Every single score posted for every game.  

What is the friggin issue with getting their competitive league scores posted?

Edit: I can't make any sense of it.

Rec League scores: http://www.planoyouthsoccer.org/cgi-bin/2013_Rec_fall/schedules/
(Every single score entered for each age group)

Competitive League scores: http://www.planoyouthsoccer.org/cgi-bin/2013_comp_fall/schedules/
(A hodge-podge of scores entered (many blank scores for multiple age-groups). Most ages have nothing reported for this weekend's games, but rec league above has every single score entered from this weekend, and the previous week. Really, what is the issue?).

PPL is just a shadow of it's former self lol. WAY overrated!!! Ooops! I guess thats a different topic

If not PPL then where? Its all the same.

"It's all the same" works for me. Just to many PPL lovers from 15 years ago for me. Maybe IT WAS the Bomb back then.

Not going to be the answer the OP wants: My understanding is that they use volunteers to do those sorts of things. Most likely two different people are posting, one posts faster than the other.

You know the solution....

That's a nice answer, but it doesn't hold up.

And Arlington Premier doesn't have volunteers? Classic League? Lake Highlands? PYSA (the SAME place, they don't have volunteers posting their scores?). Why does every other soccer league's "volunteers" - including PYSA - run by the same people - get their scores posted same day, yet the competitive league doesn't.

Let me head off the next response - too many teams - not enough people - guess what, they have the fees from all those teams too - so if they have that much in fees, they could hire someone to post scores for the competitive side - they seem to have the personnel to post their rec scores.

Arlington is using a "telephone in" system with password for security. I assume if both coaches numbers match, the score is posted. Yes Arkington scores have been posted as quickly as 15 minutes this season. This is new this season for Arlington.....

I believe that CL has an online system that uses an IPhone app. Not bad. What does PYSA use for scores. I can't imagine anything different between rec to comp. This said it would again go back to the human element. Perhaps there is not as much rush to put scores in for some of the competitive divisions.
Regardless we can ask for scores to post here on the forum. Takes me back to SDL days!!!

Just checked the site and still no scores. Anyone have scores from this weekend?

LP00B Hansen vs. North Dallas 40 Blues Youth, 3 - 0

Would also like to say that ND40BY played a possession style. One of the few that I have seen. I look forward to watching them going forward.

FCD - Silver beat Striders 2-0

NTX United Warriors 4 FC Tigers 1

Heard Tsunami beat FC Force 3-0

America Premier over HP Drifters 4-1 (I believe).

Clockwork over AYSES 5-1

It could depend on whether or not the teams have sent in their scores/game reports. I have seen some teams on the standings page that have played 3 games with no scores posted at all.

I could see that to an extent but could not believe that every team in all divisions didn't do what they needed to post the score. If so then some tough love for the teams might be in order.

The 00 boys league director must be on vacation, on strike, or out of pocket for some reason. The 00 boys is the only age group that hasn't been reported yet - none of the games reported- so must be something going on with the 00 boys director. Hope everything is ok.

00 boys are now updated.

Cool. Thanks for the update.



So far, what do you think of the PPL league play itself? Satisfied with how it is divided up? Not satisfied?

Personally, I like it so far. The games have been good with nice competition each week.

I heard they were going to move some teams up to D1 and D2 (and possibly down too), between fall and spring seasons. Which is different than what they have done in past years - if they do this. Which will also be good for the divisions, since teams that can't really compete in D1 or D2 will move down, and teams that need to move up to D2 or D1 will move up before the spring season starts.

R1 - I have mixed feelings on league play. I have found that the PYSA organization is fantastic and is very easy to work with. On the flip side the quality of referee's are definitely not at the same level (though we pay the same!) as it was in CL last year.

So far the team competition is fine but then again we are only 2 games in.

As far as the way that the divisions were formed it was ok. We didn't take care of business and so we didn't take our bracket. Regardless we would be in D2. This said I have no idea why they didn't take the bracket winners and put them in D1 to create a full bracket. I do like the fact that they will be promoting after the fall season for that reason. I heard 4 but who knows. No documentation from the league to date. I figure we won't worry about it till the end of the season.

See the 6th and 7th bullet points in the U-12 to U-14 section of this document:

I feel like the referees get influence way to much by the parents or players. This of course only after seeing two games, hopefully they get it together and called it right.

Se La Perdio - I am not sure that I would go by this as the document states that there will be 10 D1 Teams and 10 D2 teams (NOTE: Was published January 2013). Given that physically the make up of the 00 Boys is not 10/10 then I would be surprised if only 2 teams were promoted to D1 from D2. I think we just have to play and let the league determine what is best for them. Regardless our goal is development and that is what we are moving toward.
