Thx EJay!!

Hopkins92 and paclassic89:  THANK YOU for the CC summaries!!

Ejay: Really appreciate you doing this ... I was tracking all my picks this afternoon! 

CENTENNIAL CONF UPDATE
Muhlenberg 2-0-1
Washington College 2-0-1
Franklin & Marshall 1-0-2
Gettysburg 1-0-2
Johns Hopkins 1-1-1
——-
Ursinus 1-2
McDaniel 1-2
Haverford 0-1-2
Swarthmore 0-1-2
Dickinson 0-2-1

Top 5 are the same top 5 (in a different order) as picked to be in top half in the preseason poll. Seems the top 5 will be the teams dueling for the top conf playoff seeds ... and Ursinus and Dickinson have shown they can make noise too this season.

CENTENNIAL gonna be tight all season ... no teams 2-0 and no teams 0-2 after 2nd weekend

Muhlenberg 1-0-1
Washington College 1-0-1
Ursinus 1-1
McDaniel 1-1
F&M 0-0-2
Haverford 0-0-2
Gettysburg 0-0-2
Swarthmore 0-0-2
Johns Hopkins 0-1-1
Dickinson 0-1-1

Thanks for the update Hopkins92 ... at least six(!) teams in Centennial Conf starting with ties in week one!

Crossit4fun and others: Ejay is tossing out one low weekly score for each competitor; so, if you missed week one (zero points) it's not too late to get in the game.

F&M another team using hockey assists for their stats. Double assist given on their game winning free kick that was sent far post then headed back across the net for someone else to finish 

Wonder if they also credit assists for winning PKs that are converted.  Maybe I'm old school, but that one bothers me.

I missed the rules excerpt post from TNAggie when I posted this.  Following that lead I see 10.5.4 No assist is awarded on a penalty-kick goal.  Now I can rest knowing Fantasy Premier League hasn't poisoned the well. Yet.

Agreed! No assist on PK goal makes sense (though our club team did track "PK goals created," which was an interesting stat to see).

FYI NCAA RULE EXCERPTS RE ASSISTS (Looked it up b/c I saw 10.5.8 occur at a game this weekend):

10.5.2 If a scoring play consists of two consecutive passes without a defender gaining control of the ball, two assists may be awarded, provided the second player does not have to elude a defender to make the final pass. Both passes must have a direct influence on the outcome of a goal scored. If the second player needs to elude a defender before passing to the goal-scorer, credit only that assist.

10.5.5 A corner kick, throw-in or free kick leading to a goal each counts as a pass in awarding assists.

10.5.7 If an attacking player's shot hits a post or crossbar and bounces back into the field of play and, before a defender can touch the ball, another attacker shoots the ball into the goal, credit the player whose shot hit the post or crossbar with an assist.

10.5.8 If an attacking player shoots and the goalkeeper or defender blocks the shot but cannot control the ball, and a second attacking player immediately knocks the rebound in for a goal, credit the player who took the first shot with an assist.

Happy birthday SimpleCoach! I see that government offices and banks are closed for your birthday today — your status as a social media influencer is quite impressive! I enjoy your podcasts — thanks.

Thanks for the weekly soccer pool Ejay!

Same here — I like this idea

Suggestion to think about....

Kuiper covers Reg 10

Sager does Reg 8 and maybe 9 or splits 9 (like Sager takes MIAA and Kuiper American Rivers?)

I take Reg 7 and maybe temporarily 1 (or split 1 with  OldNed, College Soccer Observer, etc)

jknezek or whoever jknezek thinks could do Reg 6

Some combo of a Messiah person, SC, Hop92, Ejay, paclassics, etc covering Reg 5 and 4

The SLU/LL crew on Reg 3

Maybe a Babson person and/or talk blooter442 into a return tour of duty for Reg 2

The above is just a mock suggestion...

It is far easier to talk about 1 or 2 regions halfway intelligently than 9 or 10...

I actually threw this idea out when SC was starting his podcasting, saying we could have folks cover Regions and report out. It was when we were helping him brainstorm and I think it just got caught up in the wash.

I'm definitely in for following Centennial and MAC-F and MAC-C... I think if Landmark keeps its games up for 72 hours before paywalling, i can commit to checking in on them, as well.

Great idea. Thanks for doing this jknezek!
