23 wins, 0 losses, 0 ties, 87 goals for (+ 6 for forfeits or 93), 4 against, 2 B team forfeits, is it time yet to completely rethink this division??

I'd say so.
But I believe there was 1 win for the B's so far........just giving credit.......Division still not going the way most would have wanted it to go.

Oops sorry to PL for missing your big Friday night W over Nanaimo!! Not sure what the solution is - maybe a top B split mid-season before any A teams are played? The scores against the top half are a bit closer at least. Or dare say it - promotion/relegation brought in for Masters???

-1 idea which is a step up would be the split after all the B teams have played eachother. Top 4 or 5 teams then play the A teams once or twice.
-1 idea is to have a 9 or 10 team A division and that would be created from the season completed standings.
-1 idea is just to let the A teams hammer it out amongst themselves.
-1 idea which has just popped into my head the last couple weeks - actually was spoken of while enjoying a flasked beverage at the McGavin Cup Final with some Masters guys in attendance, is potentially starting an Over 45 division.
Maybe we go to 10 teams per division and just use one of the above? The split after a round ?
I don't think we can operate an A division with just 4 teams to be honest.

The 45 division is a good idea, as was the flask.
Next year move the top 5 B teams to A.
I don't think it can be fixed for this year.
Also, the current format has worked before but the issue this year is the bottom B teams are worse than the C teams and getting hammered by both the A and top B teams.

If we did more business avec flask, things could get really interesting!
Yah, this year cannot be changed, you are right.
Besides your point of the B & C teams, I think it is obvious that 3 Masters A teams got pretty strong in the off season. (that widened the gap between A & B a bit)
3 teams were very aggressive with the free agent market. Current investigations into alleged large amounts of $ being moved into off shore accounts.

Agreed on all points. Teams stacking up is why we got to where we are at with 4 teams in A, but restricting the stacking seems counterproductive to a decent VISL Masters BC Cup showing.
Let us know what you need from us to make it happen.
1) VISL 45 div next year
2) Competitive A division with more than 4 teams and preferably 10.

045s division sounds like fun. I would encourage a no sliding rule to be considered for this age group - it works well in the 040s league to temper games. The 10 minute misconducts are a nice way to calm things as well...
