i did hear that the sharks whole team was hurt or some shit early in the game. which also leads me to realize that alot of these teams dont have too much of a depth chart. from what i have heard your going from good players to guys who dont know what the fuck they are doing with 1 or 2 injuries. i guess everybody will run into this problem over the season it seams. as the most players on 1 team i think is like 25. some teams barely having 20 or less. so u could only imaging how important the depth chart and staying healthy in this league is. 1 or 2 key injuries could be the end of the road for these teams. Any feedback welcome...

You are absolutely right, even before the league started some of us thought that the number of teams should have been 4, as far as I know (I could very well be wrong here), the maximum number of players per team was 30, this was due to the number of pads/equipment that the league was going to sponsor for each team. As you very well stated, many people had never played before, so this means they are going to get injured for lack of knowledge on how to tackle. Other cases we just get injured, as some would say, because we're pu$$ies <?xml:namespace prefix = v ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml" /><v:shapetype id=_x0000_t75 stroked="f" filled="f" path="m@4@5l@4@11@9@11@9@5xe" o:preferrelative="t" o:spt="75" coordsize="21600,21600"><v:stroke joinstyle="miter"></v:stroke><v:formulas><v:f eqn="if lineDrawn pixelLineWidth 0"></v:f><v:f eqn="sum @0 1 0"></v:f><v:f eqn="sum 0 0 @1"></v:f><v:f eqn="prod @2 1 2"></v:f><v:f eqn="prod @3 21600 pixelWidth"></v:f><v:f eqn="prod @3 21600 pixelHeight"></v:f><v:f eqn="sum @0 0 1"></v:f><v:f eqn="prod @6 1 2"></v:f><v:f eqn="prod @7 21600 pixelWidth"></v:f><v:f eqn="sum @8 21600 0"></v:f><v:f eqn="prod @7 21600 pixelHeight"></v:f><v:f eqn="sum @10 21600 0"></v:f></v:formulas><v:path o:connecttype="rect" gradientshapeok="t" o:extrusionok="f"></v:path><?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:lock aspectratio="t" v:ext="edit"></o:lock></v:shapetype><v:shape id=Picture_x0020_1 style="VISIBILITY: visible; WIDTH: 27.75pt; HEIGHT: 11.25pt; mso-wrap-style: square" type="#_x0000_t75" alt="0" o:spid="_x0000_i1025"><v:imagedata o:title="0" src="file:///C:\DOCUME~1\ALEXCR~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\msohtmlclip1\01\clip_image001.gif"></v:imagedata></v:shape>.<o:p></o:p>
Now that said, some teams didn't even make it to 30 players, mainly because of the costs, and even for training this is a problem, since you might have the bodies to train, but not all of them have pads, and we have stated several times here that it is a whole other game when you put on pads. I know this is the case for the bulldogs where we have sometimes more than 30 people to train, but not enough pads to have everyone out there at the same time.<o:p></o:p>
I think many people are realizing that this is more than just hitting people. Rosters for teams should be more than 30 people, i know that some teams already have permission to look for new players since they are already thin, most of them have players playing 2 way football, maybe even 3 way if you count special teams, i believe the league had said that this would not be an option, but find themselves to the point were if they don't allow new players, they might as well kiss the season goodbye.<o:p></o:p>
As far as depth chart goes, let me go back to my 4 teams theory, the other reason i thought this was the correct number was because not that many people are knowledgeable on the sport and have the physical ability to play, and just as you said and is happening, when the only player that really knows how to play a specific position goes down, chances are the next one in line is just learning what he has to do, hence, the chances of the next person getting injured are pretty high, and i don't think many teams have a 3 player depth chart.<o:p></o:p>
Maybe some more of the posters that play want to share their thoughts, but that's my 2 cents.

If teams are lacking depth, IMO it's their own fault as my buddy and I called wanting to try out to play and were told all teams are full, they will call us shortly (been two weeks, no call yet).

give us some more updates on the league. when does it start up again? will they add new teams or just beef up on what they have?

why doesnt someone open up a sporting goods store down there that has more to offer than shin guards and soccer balls?

Why don´t you open it? Stock up on football and baseball gear. Won´t make it past the first month. Ticos play soccer and basketball, that´s it.

yea the tico bowl tomorrow. 7 - 1 Sharks play the 8 - 0 toros. rematch time. sharks are healthy and got alot of better players since the asswhippng in week 2. Could be like a movie with the sharks returning the favor in the Tico bowl. Toros got some cool guys, but I do hear there coach is a punk bitch. not to hard to coach when u have a college QB to do it for u... hopefully the refs are in check or u could see some ref get KO'd. could see the toros coach get gang raped too.

sharks avg about 7 person foul 15yard penalties a game and with a bitch coach on the other side line and some the most retarded refs in history. With the tico bowl on the line. Things could get ugly. Hopefully the sharks can chill and not shoot thereselfs in the foot too much. like the other games.

Are you guys going to have any new teams or spots open for next season? My buddy and I called numerous times and were always promised a call back when there was a meeting/new team/opening for new players; no calls ever came.

Bulldogs will be having try outs, if you're interested, PM me, we're always looking for people. I have to say that playing this year was one of the best experiences in my life, looking forward for next year.
