The CebuFA database

After a year’s absence, the Aboitiz Cup will be back, or so said the new CebuFA board.



Good news is, the new board will retain the two divisions for the Men’s Open, while there will be new age groups for Girls Football.



Now the question is, with the recent reshuffling of the teams in the Men’s Open, how will they determine which one gets to play in which division?



Also, this year, the CebuFA will finally take on the registration of individuals for its database.



But this P100 per head is sure going to raise a lot of questions (at least I will).



I may be wrong but there could be at least, a thousand players (more if we consider all the individuals involved in football) in Cebu where does the money go?



As to these database. I’m not such a big fan with how the CebuFA handled the data in their first tournament (Yes the Inter Club was officially a Queen City-organized event, but it still WAS a CebuFA event), will this new database be anything different?


Will these be just scraps or pieces of papers, tucked in a folder and left to rot until the next registration phase? Or



will this be a real database, where anyone who wants to question that “data of a certain player or individual” can access?


We’ll see.


And finally. I asked Richard whether the CebuFA will ever consider putting up a website, they said yes. I hope that happens sooner rather than later.

Putting this database on the CebuFA website, which anyone can access, sounds like a swell idea don't you think?

The failed U23 experiment

THE only positive thing that we can take in that loss against Timor Leste was that the U23 squad looked good in blue. And Ebong, too. The Blue-Haired fanatic whose voice we all heard on TV was fantastic. The team? The result? To be perfectly blunt it was a scrappy game from a scrappy team that seemed to treat the SEAG as a vacation, or a chance to gain more Twitter followers. (Yey, I can tweet the team apology first!) Going into the match, almost every fan who paid attention knew that we needed to win. Unfortunately, it seemed the players were operating on a different mindset.

Fair Play: The Devil's Advocate and CFA vs. CAFC

(This is my Fair Play column for Sun.Star Cebu on Feb. 6) I GOT an interesting e-mail the other day about the consequences for teams that withdraw from PFF-organized national tournaments and its corresponding sanctions. I guess, it’s time to play Devil’s Advocate. For PFF-organized events, there are four types of withdrawals—after confirming participation but before grouping or scheduling takes place, after regional finals but before grouping in nationals, after the grouping in the nationals, and in the course of the national competition.
