Standings and Schedule

The page for last years tournament used W-D-L format for the standings as well as listing the home team first in the schedule. Up until just recently no one changed it from WDL and home team first. There was a lengthy discussion at Talk:2008 Major League Soccer season regarding this issue, and the end result was that for MLS pages the WLT format would be used and home team listed second. As far as I understand, there are some editors that feel that this decision now means that a consensus was reached regarding all sports pages that are concerned with US and Canadian leagues/competitions. I do not feel that the discussion that took place there should be of concern to this, a CSA competition. I have reverted the edits that grant made to the 2008 and 2009 articles as they went at least 8 months in the WDL format without anyone objecting. If there is a reason for making all Canada/US sports articles WLT format please point it out.

However, I think that there is ample evidence that the WDL, home team first format should be used for the Canadian Championship articles. First, this is officially a CSA run tournament, and if you look at the way they present the data and schedule it is in congruence with WDL home team first. Here is the link for the 2008 edition http://www.canadasoccer.com/tourney/FIFA_Clubs/2008_Nutrilite_Can_Championship.asp and the link to the 2009 tournament http://www.canadasoccer.com/tourney/FIFA_Clubs/2009_Nutrilite_Can_Championship.asp . I think the article should be reflective of the way the governing body presents the information. NeilCanada (talk) 20:29, 26 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

As the one that led that argument for WLT on the MLS pages (and, in effect, most other North American pages), I can agree to this. All US leagues and organizations sort in WLT. However, the CSA uses their own standards for their national tournament, and because of this, I agree to leave the Canadian Championship page in WDL/home team listed first.

Match Reports

Last year the CSA had links to the match reports on their site, and they were even usually up with starting lineups before the matches started. But I can't find them this year. Anybody know where they are on the CSA site? NeilCanada (talk) 15:56, 7 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
