            <title>MMSL &amp;amp; SMSL Join Forces</title>

            <description><![CDATA[Portland Maine Soccer -- Maine Masters Soccer League (MMSL) and Southern Maine Soccer League (SMSL) have joined together to form Southern Maine United Soccer League (SMUSL).
What this means to the team managers and players: 
1 League, 2 Divisions: There will be two divisions in the SMUSL:  Open    Division and Over 30 Division.  Both divisions will be independent of    each other including matches, stats standings and playoffs.
Rules &amp; Processes - Each league's set of rules from last  year will be    carried over to each of the divisions.
Game times/locations: There will be no changes in this  process as of this    year. 
The league website will now be:  www.smusl.com (../) - all  stats, standings, voting, rosters and    communication will be here.

What this means to the  league  itself: 
A board of directors needs to be elected.  The exact positions  needed    are still being discussed.
This doubles the number of players in the league making it  the largest in    Maine.  By doing so we are hoping to attract more players to grow the    league and ultimately, grow soccer in Maine.

Some ideas for  the  future: 

SMUSL Cup - (similar to England's FA Cup) - A single elimination    tournament where teams are drawn at random and would play 'cup" games  on    predetermined dates. 
Have the winner of the SMUSL Cup play the winner of Bay State  in    Massachusetts.
Over 30 "b" division 
Over 40 division 
COED division (minimum number of women on the  field).

Please let us know if there are any questions,  concerns  or suggestions.Jon Stewart (MMSL)Pete Grosso (SMSL)]]></description>
