Jamaica Schoolboy Football Merger

Notice:

The below correspondence provided to Dr. Small (ISSA President) is relevant to Super Cup 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 and all future iterations. We will continue pursuing our cause as the original designers of the Super Cup template/blueprint. ISSA/FLOW and all related corporate sponsors past, present and future....we remain open and committed to dialogue as our best path to resolution of our claim as the original designers of the Super Cup template/blueprint.

Our original template as 'hijacked' is a part of a greater holistic plan which involves an intersecting youth development national program model which interconnects with the plan below under, Rationale: Item # 2, 3 and 4 and Benefits: Item #4. I will not publish that plan for obvious reasons until certain contingencies are in place.

At this point we can objectively acknowledge two imperatives:
1) The Super Cup template/blue print was created in 2005, as evidenced below.
2) The implemented Super Cup tournament 2014 - 2016 bares an undeniable resemblance to the original template first published in 2005. No jacket here!....so ....lets hear the explanation ISSA?

COMMENT: Document below addressed to Mr. Small was created 6/3/2008 and delivered to him. Super Cup inaugural year was 10/2014. If this was school someone would be defending a plagiarism charge.

"Mr Small,

Greetings, I would like to take this opportunity to proffer the following radical High School Football Restructuring Plan to the ISSA planning committee for discussion.

Rationale:

1	High School Football represents the cradle of our Football development and will remain that way for the foreseeable future.
2	The current focus and resources being directed at Football lacks a common nexus of continuum between High School and the National Youth Teams.
3	Any plan that excludes the best players from High School competition will serve to deplete the quality of the High School league.
4	Any Football Academy should possess a seamless operational plan that includes our high school league as an integral part of such a developmental system.
5	High School Football needs to generate additional interest and income
6	Fosters increased high intensity competition

The Plan

Design and implement a Top Ten quantitative Ranking System based on the following component scores.

1	Wins, Draws and Losses	4-Points (Win) 2-Point (Draw) 0-Point (Loss)
2	Strength of Schedule	4-Points (Win against any team ranked within the top ten) 2-Points (Draw against any team ranked in the top ten)
3	Other statistics e.g. scoring performance ratio vs defensive goal ratio	1-Bonus point for a three goal win 1- Bonus point for a defensive shut out.
4	Panel recommendation	2-points for best performing team

High School Football Restructuring Plan

Benefits

1	Creates/facilitates a new economic structure-job creation
2	Encourages a technical and tactical analytical mindset of the coaching fraternity in a 'professional' way.
3	Marketing of games/clashes
4	Screens players/teams for national recruiting and interest
5	Fosters outside the box thinking of the physical games, it takes the games off the field and places it in an intentionally analytically designed environment.
6	Opportunity to employ ex-ballers and high school graduates as data analyst and other related positions
7	Fostering of a radical shift in Schoolboy Football where Manning and Dacosta teams can be matched in privately sponsored and funded 'bowl' games. How many times the best team does not win the Manning or Dacosta Cup, would'nt you like a structured system where a match-up can take place between a former # 1 and a # 5 that was unlucky in one semi-final game. This can be accomplished outside of the typical Oliver Shield. This could increase the probability of the greatest High school forward playing against the greatest high defender outside of the All Manning/All Dacosta game.
8	Imagine a KC that finished second vs a Cornwall that also finished second in a 'XYZ Petrojam' sponsored 'bowl' game. Massive crowd with paying customers and cash rewards.
9	Imagine a Digicel Bowl game between a # 3 ranked Clarendon College and # 6 ranked Tivoli or a # 5 ranked Charlie Smith and # 7 ranked STETHS. Teams that due to the regular Manning and Dacosta Cup set up may not play each other, but would be possible in a bowl type structure with real economic benefits.
10	Exclusive contract agreement with (XYZ Newspaper) to publish ISSA weekly pools.

This plan does not eliminate or deplete the current system but rather enhances what we currently have in place.

I am advocating a “Bowl System” that would allow other 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th place finishers in both leagues Manning and Dacosta Cups that are ranked in the 'High school top ten poll' to be matched up against each other in ‘privately sponsored Bowl games.

A 'Bowl system' should be a natural progression of enhancing the current system. The immediate benefits would be, a Cornwall and a KC would not have to wait until both are champions at the same time(once every 10-20 years) to have a ‘Football clash’. Both possess a large fan base and could generate private sponsorship generating much needed funds for the ISSA/JFF and youth teams. A ranking system would legitimize such a structure.

High School Football Restructuring Plan

Economic Scenario:

2nd place Wolmers vs 2nd place Munro could attract 20-25,000 paying fans @ 100 per ticket.

25,000 (fans)* $100 (ticket price) =2,500,000 + whatever JFF would charge for the sponsorship rights.

3rd ranked Cornwall College vs 4th ranked Tivoli Gardens in the 'Republic Bowl' could attract 25,000 fans @ $150 a ticket.

25,000 (fans)* $150 (ticket price) =$3,750,000 + whatever JFF would charge for the sponsorship rights.

These games would be scheduled after the conclusion of the Oliver Shield and would be for bragging rights as the champions would have already been decided through the traditional format.

Sincerely,

Nicky Lewin, BA, MPA.

Xy Member Posts: 601 From: Registered: Jan 2005	posted 09-11-2005 06:37 PM Chisel, I am not advocating getting rid of the current Dacosta Cup-Manning Cup setup. I am however advocating for a setup that would allow other 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th place finishers in both leagues that are ranked in the 'High school top five poll' to be matched up against each other. This could be accomplished through a Bowl or tournament system. I can tell you through personal experience that I would have enjoyed my high school playing against certain other high schools, but due to the past and present setup that was/is not possible unless we both were champions at the same time, and as a result the match up amongst certain massives only occurred at the All Manning vs All Dacosta annual match. Now that we are 'elders' after a corner league game we talk about bwoy if my school did play unnu back inna de days..... A 'Bowl system' should be a no brainer based on the present system. Why does a Cornwall and a KC have to wait until both are champions at the same time(once every 10-20 years) to have a clash. Both possess a large fan base and could generate private sponsorship generating much needed funds for the JFF and youth teams. A ranking system would legitimize the structure. Do you think a decent 2nd place Wolmers vs a decent 2 place Munro could attract 15-20,000 paying fans? Do you think Company XYZ would pay JFF a fee for the rights to such a game? Ok because I know its possible 20,000* $100 =2,000,000 + whatever JFF would charge for the sponsorship rights. Not exactly peanuts. Decent 3rd ranked Cornwall College vs decent 4th ranked Tivoli Gardens in the 'Republic Bowl' with 25,000 fans @ $150 a ticket = $3,750,000 + whatever the company would pay for the rights to sponsor such a game. Not exactly peanuts. So there you have it the JFF just added appx. $6,000,000 to their youth budget just by thinking outside the box and organizating. Fans will always support a good match up with slick and hyped promotions. Ever hear of a sound clash. I am not convinced that there would be any additional benefit at the club level, but this system at the High school level is begging....
