TheFlow. It's kind of hard to take your opinion seriously when you don't have any reputation stars under your name. It seems like you just came on here to complain about your team and not the poll as a whole.

Therefore that player was declared ineligible for the 2006 season and thus must sit out the 2007 season. The team was also penalized for allowing him to compete during the season while he was inelgible. That is all the information the Board will release at this or any time in the future.

In this case, this was a WCLL issue first. The EB reviewed the case and found no reason to overturn it. The only sanction we added was removal from the poll, something that has been done in every eligibility case in the past. Chapman and the WCLL was notified. Poll voters were notified (not of details of the case). The BOD will be notified in detail once we get everything together for them.

They are not being punished by the league for the regular season, as per the eligibility ruling, BUT the polls are a reflection of regular season play. Not letting them go to playoffs is one thing, but this means that no matter what they do in the regular season this year, there will be no recognition, even in that final poll from #'s 17-25. For the kids playing, and for the team going into next year, that number means more than you think.

Sounds like Chapman is going to fight it, so I am sure that will happen.

Wow, the longer I have been here complaining, the more serious you would take me? That is pretty funny. It is a nice old boys club going on here, but I love hearing new people's opinions on this board, and it cannot be assumed that if you haven't been here since the stone age that you cannot make valid points. I have been involved in this league for 7 years, and I hae seen a few things too. I don't post for one team, but I do have a WCLL bias, since that is my league. This situation is just very interesting to me, especiallys since I have seen Chapman play a lot this year. We all want to know more about this case, and it sounds like we will as it is fought by their team. If there are flaws in the WCLL or MCLA rules or sysems, it should be spoken about in public. What if the ruling is unjust and unfounded? Maybe it is not, but we only have one side right now. Just because the system is there, does not mean it is perfect. There are always special cases and each case should be looked in an open and fair manner. It would be good to hear Chapman's side as well. That is all I am saying. I think everyone here has the best of intentions for the league and the teams. This does not mean the system is and will ever be flawless. I thought this league was about helping kids play lacrosse. Should we not hear both sides?
Some day this country club is going to need to let in new members...

Actually, a few years back Michigan State was removed from the polls, and from post season play for self reporting a player that dropped a class to move below 12 credits. There is precedence.
