We have 9 teams in the Central Division so there are some issues which each team needs to look at and then decide their preference. PLEASE send your choice to tobrown@vassar.edu  Thank you for your cooperation.

Option 1: We have every team play every other team (8 games over 9 weekends) and then the top 2 play for the Championship. This means starting on Labor Day weekend Sunday September 2, 2018. The Championship game is on Sunday November 4, 2018.

Option 2: We have every team play every other team but start September 9th with one weekend being a double-header.

Option 3: We have every team play every other team but start on September 9th and schedule one mid-week game.

Option 4: We reduce the Central Division to 8 teams either by dropping one team or have one move to the Division II South (with Hofstra, Molloy, Montclair, TCNJ & NJIT). With 8 teams we can start on September 9th and every team plays every other team with a Championship game on November 4th between 1 and 2.

Option 5: We split the Central Division into a group of 5 teams and a group of 4 teams – A tier 1 group: Vassar, Maritime, New Paltz, Monroe & Union. A tier 2 group: Bard, Drew, Oneonta & Hartwick. The top 8 teams qualify for the Conference playoffs with tier 1 teams seeded 1-5 based on their regular season finish and the top 3 teams from tier 2 seeded 6-8. The bye weekend for the tier 1 teams could see them play a division II team that is on their bye weekend. We play quarterfinals, semifinals and a final. This schedule starts September 16 for tier 1 and September 23 for tier 2.
