Alfred,
You and the rest of organizers had really great intentions for the community of soccer but the majority of soccer community failed to meet what they agreed to in beginning. Your idea of having a coaches meeting will not work I can tell you that right now. The reason for that is obvious. Two thirds of the teams did not pay so... you'll probably be ignored if you try to contact them. I mean, you see this guest-book/message board; it used to be very active, but as the end of the tournament approached and once they heard of talk that all of the money needs to be paid, everyone vanished. I don't know which teams have paid and which haven't but it is clear that most of the teams have no character and don't care about this league and those are the teams which betrayed the league. Most of the people of this soccer community would like to play for free, want to win all the time because they believe this is a World Cup, most of the teams don't know how to lose respectfully so to relieve their frustration, why not attack a referee or player from another team (which they usually know or play against for years); everyone just wants and wants, and nobody wants to give something back. Don't we play soccer to enjoy ourselves and have some fun? What is wrong with people? You have to give in order to gain, there is no other way. I may come across a bit negative or sarcastic but this is reality. So... Alfred, if you are planning to have another tournament next year you should start advertising it early to have a lot of teams interested (let's say you get 14 or 15 teams interested next year). Then, you should set a deadline for payment before competition starts, that way the number of teams will drop to let's say 8 or maybe even 10. This way you will have all of the payments received and better quality of teams and with that much better quality of soccer. Also, another very important issue is the quality of that field. Believe me, if that field was in excellent shape,...
