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
|
5
|
High School Football needs
to generate additional interest and income
|
6
|
Fosters increased high
intensity competition
|
The Plan
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
|
|
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.

Imagine a KC that finished
second vs a

|
Imagine a Digicel Bowl game
between a # 3 ranked

|
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

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
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.

Do you think Jamaican Football could benefit from a 'Poll'
ranking system, first at the High School level (top 20) and then at the club
level (top 5).
Voting
structure could include each coach voting for the opposing team in an
integrated numbering system.

Some of
the benefits to me would be:
1) Some
form of PR system tied to some $$ incentives
2)
Encourages a technical and tactical analytical mindset of the the coaching
fraternity in a 'professional' way.
3)
Marketing of games/clashes
4)
Fosters mutual respect amongst coaches
5)
Screens players/teams for national recruiting and interest
6)
Fosters thinking outside 'first person' box of the physical games, it takes
the games off the field and places it in an analytically designed environment.
7)
Employment for some x-ballers as analyst and other data collection careers
8)
Fostering of a radical shift in Schoolboy Football where Manning and Dacosta

8.2
Imagine a 'ABC Cell Phone Inc.' bowl tournament, that includes the top 6 ranked
teams post or preseason.
8.3
Imagine a Reggae Boyz Forum 'RBZ' bowl tournament 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 most of all the opportunity to generate interest
and $$$$$.

Just
some of the benefits that comes to mind. Of course there could be a lot more.
This system would be a designed methodological tool that could be creafted in
a numbers of directions.
Lets
get your take Pros and Cons

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
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....

COMMENT: FAST FORWARD ........IS THERE A COLORABLE NEXUS?
PLANS FOR ISSA/FLOW SUPER CUP 2015 UNVEILED
- Details
New Trophy, more cash, gears and more access announced
Jamaica’s first true Quad-Play telecommunications provider, FLOW has announced the second renewal of the ISSA/FLOW Super Cup football competition slated for October 24 to November 14.
During a press briefing hosted at the Jamaica Convention Centre in Montego Bay, FLOW’s Carlo Redwood, Vice President- Marketing & Products announced several improvements, unveiled an impressive new trophy and reaffirmed the company’s commitment to the exciting addition to the annual school boy football calendar organized by the local governing body, the Inter-Secondary School Sports Association (ISSA).
Atop the list is a total prize pot of approximately $2.5 million for participating schools along with an individual ‘Golden Boot’ prize, improved jersey kits provided by overseas apparel sponsor Nike and several plans to increase public access to the games via live television broadcast.
“We remain committed to the players that will participate, the schools that will benefit and of course the wider community that supports us in the stands. This is why we have made modifications that will improve on what we delivered in 2014 and chart the future for this competition, which we believe, has tremendous potential for growth.” Mr. Redwood said during his presentation.
The competition will see the top 16 teams in the ISSA/FLOW Manning & DaCosta Cup leagues engaged in a fierce four-week knock-out competition to take home a whopping 1 million dollars for the winner. All 16 participating schools will receive a starting $25,000 for qualifying with the total monies gained increasing as the competition advances.
The venues confirmed are the National Stadium and Sabina Park in Kingston and the Catherine Halls Sports Complex in Montego Bay which all boast superior facilities for football action. Triple and double-header matches will form part of the kick off weekend and each game will be accompanied by entertainment packages at each venue.
Dr Walton Small, President of ISSA commended FLOW and the team of sponsors including Pepsi, international technology manufacturer - Huawei and Nike which is participating through Locker Room Sports Ltd., for their and overall commitment to sports development in Jamaica.
“As the local governing body for secondary school sporting activities we are both pleased and encouraged that our sponsors are not just supporting our programmes, but are also taking on new initiatives and partnering with us to drive improvements to our annual calendar. The ISSA/FLOW Super Cup is a perfect example of what can be achieved from public/private partnership and this time, the sport of football is the main beneficiary” Dr Small said.
He further thanked the organizers on behalf of participating schools for the cash awards provided that are used to develop both the academic and sporting facilities for the students.
On October 7, the telecommunications firm will begin an aggressive promotional campaign entitles the ‘Super Cup Tour’ which comprises school visits to five promising contenders in the 2015 competition. A draw event to determine the starting match-ups for the opening Games will take place on October 22.
