;	Nice to have a field with actual goal posts. No questions as to whether a field goal is good or not.

;	I have to explain this every year, no problem. As far as field allocations go - when there is not enough turf to go around, I give priority to the divisions with the longest average team participation in the league. Once I actually did the math here for someone, but it does work out to A, B+, B, C. So, the lower divisions are not being shoved onto a grass field because they play in a lower division: its because the average participation history is naturally shorter as you go down in division. If you do play on a team that has been around for a while, and you are not playing all of your games on turf, its because the other teams in your division bring down the average participation history. True, every team pays the same per season, but if you want to base allocation on financials its the same principle as participation history. Having said all that, I did move the 2 WED B games off GB#6 for the rest of the season onto WED ECL#2 at 10:00 and BP#7 in the empty TUE slot. TOM
